Donald Trump is contemplating potential military strikes on Iran, focusing particularly on the efficacy of bunker buster bombs against the Fordow uranium enrichment facility. Despite being informed that the GBU-57 bomb could effectively target Fordow, Trump remains unconvinced and cautious, hoping that military pressure might encourage negotiations with Iran. Reports indicate that conventional bombs alone may not penetrate Fordow's depth, leading to discussions about nuclear options, which Trump does not favor. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency assessed that only tactical nuclear weapons would guarantee total destruction of the heavily fortified site.
Trump has indicated that US military action against Iran hinges on the effectiveness of bunker buster bombs, particularly regarding the Fordow uranium enrichment facility.
The effectiveness of GBU-57s in destroying Iran's Fordow facility is debated; officials suggest only a tactical nuclear weapon could ensure total destruction at that depth.
