>>508020639 (OP)there's so many possible paths here, but they're all bad
>military and intel (both foreign and domestic) told trump the bunker busters probably won't work on a mountain reinforced with a shit ton of concrete >if it fails it means immediate retaliatory attacks from iran>if the bunker busters fail it also means trump has to follow up with a ground invasion>alternative to bunker busters is tactical nuke >using nukes to stop supposed nuke development is the opposite of their intended goal in that it encourages iran and all other countries to develop nukes as quickly as possible so that they themselves don't get tactically nuked in the future so trump looked at all this and figured his best option was to leak the bunker buster idea in the hopes iran gets scared and asks for a peace deal. that obviously didn't happen, so trump doubled down and said he'll wait two weeks.
