re: We probably have not hit Iran with bunker busters yet b/c of the technical challenges.

Can you just attack all exit/entry points and starve all folks inside?
It would at least delay the bomb for months.
Centrifuges are not.
The hole they are is even harder to replace (but they would eventually dig it out)
What if they've already evacuated it? I doubt it, it's the safest place in the country right now. But can we confirm one way or the other?

seems like this is the exact scenario for the "Rods from God" concept.

It is probably just sitting in an open air food market beside the bats.

Be nice to have a 20 ton titanium rod sitting on the moon right about now.

I don't get what the big deal is. 90 meters is, what......14, 15 feet? Or, is it 6 miles? I dunno......

Know what else is expensive to build? A nuked city. Well, I should say rebuild. Not to mention the economic damage to the entire world. Don’t forget the dead and wounded too.
It’s worth the price.
Like weighing a feather against an elephant.

Regarding the penetration depth of this bomb I do not think that the USG would release accurate information of its true capabilities.
If it can penetrate to X depth it would be too easy for adversaries to build a bunker at a greater depth as a counter measure.
I think it is likely the bomb is more capable and if not there is another one that can penetrate a greater depth.

I agree. I’m sure they got bigger shite under wraps.
The B2 can carry 2? Well how about just 1 that’s double the weight?

Where are Bruce Willis, Billie Bob Thornton and Ben Aflac when you need them (Armageddon the movie)?

Yall are in this thread mentioning the potential use of nukes, without any rebukes. Y’all have lost your cotton pickin’ minds.

Plus, he's saying that Trump really does want to see if this thing can be diffused. He believes he has Khamenei by the balls but he has to basically show him he owns his balls.
Also there are rumblings that Trump is also telling Xi in China to cut out the "mystery" flights that have been coming in. Intel has no idea what's going on with that.
BUT, as you stated... we don't know that is the case.

Very similar.

Serious (probably dumb) question:
Can these bunker busters be used in sequence to get deeper and deeper?
Like I mean, one hits, then in relatively quick succession another hits same spot. then another and another?
Sequence timed to prevent shockwave from preceding bomb impeding the following one(probably one every 1-3 seconds?)

That should render it useless for about 30 years.

It's pretty obvious that if Iran has nuclear enriching capability above 90% they have moved all that capability to the New-Natanz facility. At 150 meters deep the equipment is probably pretty safe from our best bunker busters even with multiple attacks.

Yeah suggest that to Israel, maybe they’ll try it.
