What aircraft delivered the bunker busters that took out the ayatollah's bunker system?
In the coordinated strikes, Israel was tasked with taking out leadership targets. They probably used their F-35 variant to deliver the early blows.

I didn't think they had anything that could deliver those bombs, though, and that's why we had to take put the nuclear sites back in June.

If Israel did it, then they used a smaller bomb. I'm sure there are many smaller variations of penetrator type bombs.

“Overnight, on President Trump’s orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY — the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history.
The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences. For almost fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to further their radical cause. Last night, unlike any previous president, President Trump began dealing with this cancer.
We will not tolerate powerful missiles targeting the American people. Those missiles will be destroyed, along with Iran’s missile production. The Iranian navy will be destroyed. And, as President Trump has said his entire life, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it. If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world — as Iran has — then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you.
Our warriors are the best in the world, and they are fully unleashed to achieve our objectives. May God’s providence protect them in this vital mission.”

Eventually they’ll run out.

Per the last CENTCOM update, damage so far to U.S. bases and infrastructure has been minimal and has not affected the operational tempo.

Oh, let’s look at a few others.
Germany. Iran’s top European partner for decades, with exports rising by a third in 2014 post-interim nuclear deal. In the 1980s, it was a primary supplier, and companies like Siemens and Bosch have operated there. Trade doubled to over $6 billion in European exports (including Germany) in 1983 during the Iran-Iraq War. Pre-2000s, Germany was Iran’s main trade partner; by the early 2000s, it handled significant volumes before sanctions tightened.
France: Major involvement in energy and automotive. Total (oil and gas) invested heavily until withdrawing in 2018 due to U.S. sanctions. Renault and PSA Group (Peugeot-Citroën) resumed shipments and production post-2013 interim deal, with joint ventures in car manufacturing. Airbus sold planes under JCPOA exemptions. France also exported machinery and pharmaceuticals; in 1980, it joined other Europeans in maintaining steady trade.
Italy: Strong in manufacturing and energy. Companies like Eni (oil) and various machinery firms continued operations. Italy was a key supplier in the 1980s, with trade tripling in some years post-Revolution. Post-JCPOA, Italian executives visited Iran for deals in construction and mining.
United Kingdom: Pre-Brexit, part of EU trade bloc. Companies like BP explored oil deals, though limited by sanctions. In the 1980s, Britain was a top supplier; trade remained steady early in the war years. Shell maintained some presence until recent pullouts.
Netherlands: Shell (Anglo-Dutch) had oil interests. The country exported chemicals and machinery; trade increased post-1979 as Iran shifted partners.
The EU as a whole was Iran’s largest trading partner pre-2012 sanctions, accounting for nearly one-third of Iran’s exports and 23% of its oil in 2011.
Sweden:
Swedish companies have historically operated in Iran, often in non-sanctioned or essential sectors. Ericsson has been active in telecommunications for decades, signing significant investment deals. Volvo and Scania have been prominent in the automotive industry, with joint ventures and exports of trucks and vehicles; Iranian enterprises once prized these brands. Other firms include Alfa Laval (industrial equipment), Atlas Copco (mining and construction tools), ABB (engineering and automation), SKF (bearings), and Camfil Farr (air filtration). These companies have maintained operations or sales in Iran, even amid sanctions, focusing on areas like energy, manufacturing, and infrastructure.
Yes, Sweden basically runs the comms for Iran. Isn’t that really, really important? Oh and yes Iran used CryptoAG with CIA backdoor.

Wrong. I give zero fricks who the President is. Hell, I gave Obama massive props for Operation Neptune Spear. Otoh, if Trump were in office and he gave the order for that mission, liberals heads wouldve fallen off.

Iran's VP quietly moves to seize power as Pezeshkian goes silent
Iran's Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref has reportedly informed officials he plans to take charge of the country during wartime, according to Iranian state media.
There was notably no mention of President Pezeshkian's ability to carry out his duties.
Earlier Saturday, security forces blocked roads near his offices in Tehran.
