TL;DR
>Can Israel destroy Iran’s nuclear sites by itself?
Israeli has F-15 fighter bombers which can carry 4,000-5,000lb GBU-28 bunker-buster bombs, each capable of punching through 5-6m of concrete.
They need 30,000lb massive ordinance penetrators and would still need multiple passes to damage enrichment sites at Natanz and especially Fordow.
Americans have the B-2 stealth bombers and bombs required for this.
They would need to continuously bomb and hinder Iran’s attempts to repair damaged sites almost indefinitely if the Iranian regime doesn’t fall.
IAEA says Iran has 400kg+ of enriched uranium. Natanz and Fordow alone are producing on average 33.5kg a month
“According to a report this month by the Washington DC-based Institute for Science and International Security, “break out” would take three weeks, “enough for nine nuclear weapons”. “
So if iran wasn’t making Nukes they are now and Israel will use this as leverage over America to force them into the conflict so they can get access to necessary bombs. right?
