The one 'bunker buster' bomb Israel could use to hit Iran's secretive Fordow enrichment plant
Tuesday, 17 June 2025 () Iran's secretive Fordow uranium enrichment plant is buried deep beneath a mountain, its vital centrifuges protected by tons upon tons of rock.
Israel has reportedly struck Iran’s only operational nuclear power plant at Bushehr during a massive aerial raid involving 40 warplanes. While the IDF claims the strike, officials stopped short of confirming a direct hit on Bushehr—home to Russian scientists and fuel. Additional strikes hit Arak,...
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu signaled a break from U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring Israel is ready to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities—alone if necessary. As war enters its second week, Netanyahu asserted Israel doesn't need U.S. approval to strike sites like Fordow. Trump remains undecided on a U.S. military response, sending mixed messages with threats and calls for diplomacy. While Netanyahu rules out regime change, he vows to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat, regardless of American hesitation or support.

U.S. President Donald Trump is considering the deployment of GBU-57 "bunker buster" bombs to destroy Iran’s deeply buried Fordow nuclear facility. Built 300 feet inside a mountain and protected by Iranian and Russian air defense systems, Fordow is nearly impenetrable—except to the GBU-57, which can Penetrate up to 200 feet underground. With Israel repeatedly requesting U.S. support, only the American B-2 stealth bomber is capable of delivering these massive 13,600 kg bombs, making U.S. involvement critical.

The IAEA has confirmed that Israel’s recent strikes damaged the underground uranium enrichment halls at Iran’s Natanz facility. While the agency cannot yet inspect the site in person, satellite imagery reveals direct impacts. Earlier, an overground structure was already destroyed. IAEA chief Grossi said the underground centrifuges were likely damaged due to power disruptions. However, Iran's Fordow nuclear site, hidden deep in a mountain, remains untouched. The escalating Israel-Iran conflict now threatens the global nuclear balance as enrichment levels reach dangerously high thresholds.

Several dozen people gathered at the Place du Panthéon in Paris on Thursday against the conflict between Israel and Iran, prompted by a call from several Iranian human rights associations. Participants, mostly Franco-Iranian, called for an "immediate ceasefire" and for the protection of civilians. "It's terrifying, not only for the Iranians and the Israelis, it's terrifying for all the civilians in the region," says Darya Djavahery Farsi, a French-Iranian student attending the protest.
