Why the #US’ giant bunker-busting bombs may have failed to reach their #nuclear targets in #Iran

They depicted America's #BunkerBuster bomb, the #MassiveOrdnancePenetrator, or #GBU57. It was being dropped from high above the Earth by a #B2 Spirit bomber. Then, the graphics showed it plowing a narrow channel deep beneath the ground — around 60 meters, or 200 feet — & erupting in an illustrated explosion.

#Hegseth said that a choice to move a number of B-2 bombers from their base in Missouri earlier Saturday was meant to be a decoy to throw off #Iran.

He added that the #US used other methods of deception as well, deploying fighters to protect the B-2 bombers that dropped 14 #BunkerBuster bombs on Iran’s most powerful #nuclear site. He said that all of these tactics helped the U.S. drop the bombs without tipping off Iran’s fighter jets or its air missile systems.

न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला: ट्रंप ने ईरान को दी सख्त चेतावनी, तीन परमाणु ठिकाने तबाह

Iran News: अमेरिका ने न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला कर ईरान की फॉर्डो, नतांज और इशफहान परमाणु साइट्स को निशाना बनाया। राष्ट्रपति ट्रंप ने इसे ऐतिहासिक सैन्य सफलता बताया। B-2 स्टील्थ बॉम्बर्स और टॉमहॉक मिसाइलों से हमला हुआ। ट्रंप ने ईरान को चेताया कि शांति न चुनी तो और हमले होंगे। ईरान ने इसे अंतरराष्ट्रीय कानून का उल्लंघन बताया। इजरायल ने इस कार्रवाई की सराहना की।

ट्रंप की चेतावनी और शांति की अपील

राष्ट्र के नाम संबोधन में ट्रंप ने कहा कि न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला ईरान के परमाणु खतरे को खत्म करने के लिए था। उन्होंने ईरान को आतंकवाद का प्रायोजक बताया और शांति की राह चुनने को कहा। ट्रंप ने अमेरिकी सेना की तारीफ की, जो दुनिया में बेजोड़ है। अगर ईरान जवाबी कार्रवाई करता है, तो और बड़े हमले होंगे। यह कदम क्षेत्रीय तनाव को बढ़ा सकता है।

बंकर बस्टर बम की ताकत

न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला में GBU-57 बंकर बस्टर बम का इस्तेमाल हुआ। यह 30,000 पाउंड का बम 200 फीट गहराई तक घुस सकता है। B-2 स्टील्थ बॉम्बर्स ने इसे गिराया, जो रडार से बच सकते हैं। यह पहली बार है जब इस बम का युद्ध में उपयोग हुआ। फॉर्डो जैसे गहरे ठिकानों को नष्ट करने के लिए यह बम जरूरी था।

इजरायल का समर्थन और सहयोग

इजरायल के पीएम नेतन्याहू ने न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला को साहसिक और ऐतिहासिक बताया। उन्होंने कहा कि अमेरिका और इजरायल ने मिलकर यह ऑपरेशन किया। इजरायल के विमान भारी बंकर बस्टर बम नहीं ले जा सकते, इसलिए अमेरिका की मदद जरूरी थी। नेतन्याहू ने इसे क्षेत्रीय शांति के लिए महत्वपूर्ण कदम बताया। इजरायल ने हमले से पहले व्हाइटमैन एयर फोर्स बेस से समन्वय किया।

ईरान की प्रतिक्रिया और वैश्विक चिंता

ईरान ने न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला को गैरकानूनी बताया और जवाबी कार्रवाई की चेतावनी दी। ईरान की परमाणु एजेंसी ने कहा कि नुकसान सीमित है और उनका कार्यक्रम जारी रहेगा। संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने इसे खतरनाक कदम बताया। ईरान के विदेश मंत्री ने इसे यूएन चार्टर का उल्लंघन कहा। क्षेत्र में तनाव बढ़ने की आशंका है।

न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला: अमेरिका ने ईरान की फॉर्डो, नतांज, इशफहान साइट्स पर बमबारी की, जानें कितना खतरनाक था हमला

Iran News: अमेरिका ने न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला कर ईरान की तीन प्रमुख परमाणु साइट्स—फॉर्डो, नतांज और इशफहान—पर हमला किया। B-2 स्टील्थ बॉम्बर्स ने 30,000 पाउंड के GBU-57 बंकर बस्टर बम गिराए। ये बम गहरे बंकरों को नष्ट करने में सक्षम हैं। ईरान की परमाणु क्षमता को कमजोर करने का यह प्रयास है। ईरान ने हमले को गैरकानूनी बताया।

बंकर बस्टर बम की विशेषताएं

न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला में इस्तेमाल GBU-57 बम 13,600 किलोग्राम वजनी है। जीपीएस-गाइडेड यह बम 200 फीट गहराई तक घुसकर विस्फोट करता है। मजबूत स्टील अलॉय से बना यह बम गहरे ठिकानों को तबाह करता है। केवल B-2 बॉम्बर इसे ले जा सकते हैं। सैन्य विशेषज्ञों का कहना है कि यह बम पहले युद्ध में इस्तेमाल नहीं हुआ था।

B-2 स्टील्थ बॉम्बर्स की क्षमता

B-2 स्पिरिट स्टील्थ बॉम्बर्स ने न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला को अंजाम दिया। ये विमान रडार से बचकर लंबी दूरी तय करते हैं। अमेरिकी वायु सेना के पास 19 B-2 बॉम्बर हैं। ये हवा में ईंधन भरकर मिसौरी के व्हाइटमैन एयर फोर्स बेस से लक्ष्य तक पहुंचे। 2017 में लीबिया में इन्होंने 34 घंटे की उड़ान भरी थी।

इजरायल की मांग और सहयोग

इजरायल ने पहले नतांज पर हमला किया, लेकिन उसके विमान भारी बंकर बस्टर बम नहीं ले जा सकते। इजरायली पीएम नेतन्याहू ने अमेरिका से न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला में शामिल होने की मांग की थी। फॉर्डो की गहरी संरचना को नष्ट करने के लिए GBU-57 जरूरी थे। अमेरिका ने इजरायल के साथ मिलकर यह ऑपरेशन किया।

ईरान की प्रतिक्रिया और आकलन

ईरान की परमाणु ऊर्जा संगठन ने न्यूक्लियर साइट्स हमला की पुष्टि की, लेकिन नुकसान को सीमित बताया। तेहरान ने इसे अंतरराष्ट्रीय कानून का उल्लंघन कहा। ईरान ने जवाबी हमले की चेतावनी दी है। अमेरिकी और इजरायली अधिकारी नुकसान का आकलन कर रहे हैं। परमाणु संदूषण की कोई जानकारी नहीं मिली है।

"...And now we are in another war, this time not to defeat fascism but to allow our aging, addled, avaricious president to boost his own sagging morale and distract from his abject failures to govern, his betrayal of his oath of office, and his attempts to destroy our democracy and create a fascist state..."

De VS heeft B2-bommenwerpers naar Guam gestuurd, waar een grote marine- en luchtbasis van de VS ligt. Deze bommenwerpers zijn de enige vliegtuigen die in staat zijn de beruchte #bunkerbuster mee te dragen.

Experts & officials are closely watching to see whether the #B2bombers will move forward to a US-British #military #base on the #IndianOcean island of #DiegoGarcia. Experts say that Diego Garcia is in an ideal position to operate in the #MiddleEast.

The #UnitedStates had B-2 bombers on Diego Garcia up until last month, when they were replaced with B-52 bombers.

A #BunkerBuster is the weapon that experts say could be used to strike #Iran's #nuclear program, including the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (#FFEP).

The ofcls, speaking on the condition of anonymity, declined to disclose any further details. One ofcl said no forward orders had been given yet to move the bombers beyond #Guam. They did not say how many #B2bombers are being moved.

Bombing Iran's underground Fordo nuclear plant might not be effective, one expert says

A U.S. attack on a key Iranian nuclear facility might not be effective, even if American military's massive bunker-buster bombs are used, a national security expert familiar with Iran's program told ABC News on Thursday.

I spoke about this a little bit on my personal account, so I'll try to keep this quick. If you're trying to figure out why Trump hasn't *already* declared the attack on Iran he so clearly desires to order, recent news that taking out Iran's nuclear facilities won't be a simple as a short B2 bombing run with bunker buster bombs, may provide a clue.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/19/trump-caution-on-iran-strike-linked-to-doubts-over-bunker-buster-bomb-officials-say

Trump caution on Iran strike linked to doubts over ‘bunker buster’ bomb, officials say

"But the defense officials who received the briefing were told that using conventional bombs, even as part of a wider strike package of several GBU-57s, would not penetrate deep enough underground and that it would only do enough damage to collapse tunnels and bury it under rubble.

Those in the briefing heard that completely destroying Fordow, which Israeli intelligence estimates to go down as far as 300ft (90 metres), would require the US to soften the ground with conventional bombs and then ultimately drop a tactical nuclear bomb from a B2 bomber to wipe out the entire facility, a scenario Trump is not considering.

The assessments were made by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a component of the defense department that tested the GBU-57, as it reviewed the limitations of US military ordinance against a number of underground facilities."

In some respects, this Guardian piece is exactly the type of war porn imperialist marketing garbage I don't believe should be printed in public newspapers, but I'm sharing it here because it tells us a lot about the nature of the war Trump is considering launching, and the conduct of our "ally" Israel, who just started a war with Iran they can't "win" without us. The background you need to understand here is that the Israeli PM wants Trump to use "bunker busting" bombs only the United States has, to destroy an underground Iranian nuclear facility built into the side of a mountain, called Fordow. Launching such a strike would of course immediately result in the US being *officially* at war with Iran, but it likely appeals to the Swine Emperor because it does not involve the deployment of ground troops or tactical nuclear weapons we shouldn't ever use under any circumstances.

Netanyahu has assured Trump that American B2 bombers dropping bunker buster bombs will destroy Iran's nuclear program entirely, and so have all the anti-Iran warpigs in Trump's government or personal orbit. There's just one problem: it's almost certainly not true. The US military says the GBU-57 bomb (the bunker buster) can penetrate depths up to 60 meters; Israeli intelligence openly says the Iranian facility at Fordow goes as deep as 90 meters (a meter is kinda like a yard, in American.) It also sounds like we have no idea how dropping it on the side of the mountain will affect the results of a bombing run on Fordow, but it doesn't sound like it'll be good. Furthermore, according to at least one military expert, it's not even clean dropping bunker busters would actually set the (nonexistent if our intelligence agencies are to be believed) Iranian nuclear weapons program back all that much.

"It would not be a one and done,” a former Dtra deputy director, retired Maj Gen Randy Manner, said of the GBU-57’s limitations, adding that Fordow could be quickly rebuilt. “It might set the program back six months to a year. It sounds good for TV but it’s not real.”

I don't know about you, but literally nothing about "dropping a tactical nuke" sounds like a good idea to me, and this whole thing sure seems like a well-crafted scheme to use American troops on the ground in Iran to topple a regime Christian nationalists in the Trump administration, a bipartisan swathe of US warhawks, and the Israeli government have wanted to take out for decades. Given the access to intelligence that everyone involved here has, from Netanyahu to guys like Tom Cotton, I'm pretty sure the shitty math behind a bombing run on Fordow is not news to them, but they're encouraging Trump to give it a try anyway. I'm not a mind reader, but it sure does seem like the anti-Iran wing of the Trump regime, and the government of Israel are trying to walk Trump into a forever war against Iran on purpose, by promising our absolutely moronic fascist president a quick and easy victory that casts him as *the* hero for the Pig Empire.

Folks, I can't stress this enough: Iran is not building nuclear weapons. The Kelpto Kaiser's own DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently reported as much and that Iran is at least three years away from being able to do so if the government decides to give it a try. There is absolutely no valid reason for Trump to bomb Fordow, but the fact that doing so is on paper a fool's errand speaks strongly to what these bloodthirsty warpigs are trying to walk you and your kids into as we speak. After all, it won't be Barron Trump getting drafted.

Even before the war with Iran started it was clear that even the best bunker buster bombs probably couldn't destroy the deepest facilities in Iran. It makes the rationality of a US participation in the war less clear, Israel doesn't need US help to destroy other kinds of targets.
