Destroy the deepest nuclear installation in Iran “only the United States can do”: expert

President Donald Trump refused to say if the United States will use direct military force against Iran to prevent him from obtaining a nuclear weapon, but a higher security expert sounds according to the alarm that Iran’s nuclear threat “is a work that only the United States can do.”

Israel launched a series of strikes against Iran starting night on Thursday, and according to the UN nuclear guard dog, the underground structures of Natanz’s nuclear installation, about 36 feet underground, saw “a direct impact” of the strikes, although the extent of damage is not clear.

However, Israel has not struck the Fordwow Fuel enrichment factory – which is supposed to be able to produce a nuclear warhead in as little as two to three days, according to the Institute for Science and International Security – probably because Israel would not have the military capacities that it would take to strike the installation of Fordow, which would be up to 300 feet underground.

“Fordow is not the only important nuclear installation remaining, but it is the most dangerous,” said Fox News Digital Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. “To destroy it from air is a job that only the United States can do.”

Fordow nuclear installation would be the most protected nuclear site in Iran, deeply built in the foundation of the mountain and divided into two enrichment rooms capable of holding some 3,000 centrifuges.

The only way to enter this installation can be to use a 30,000 pound bomb, known as “Bunker Buster”, a GBU-57A / B ammunition penetrator (MOP) specially designed to penetrate deeply buried targets, although even this capacity is estimated at the scope of some 200 feet, by virtue of the presence of 200 feet, therefore, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently Consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, consequently, accordingly, according to 200 feet, consequently, consequently, consequently, according to 200 feet, accordingly, according to 200 feet, accordingly, according to 200 feet, accordingly, according to 200 feet, accordingly, according to 200 feet. information accessible to the public.

Dubowitz explained that “inflicting real damage” more than simple bunker ammunition is necessary, including “stealth delivery platforms such as the B-2 Spirit bombardier to penetrate advanced air defenses and deliver the mop” as well as your precision intelligence, monitoring and recognition (ISR) “to ensure that you are not just damaged False decree “. “”

“Only the United States has the full spectrum,” he told Fox News Digital. Israel, despite its unrivaled regional capacities and its world-class air force, has not yet been mop or platforms to deliver it.

The Israel-Iran war invites Trump to leave the G7 early summit

“These are ADIR F-35I and F-15i Raamis can inflict serious damage-but the penetration of the Fordow remains entirely beyond the current Israeli capacity without American cooperation or creative alternatives such as internal sabotage or specialized ammunition,” he added.

Trump went to Truth Social Tuesday to boast the abilities of the American army, saying: “We now have a complete and total control of the sky on Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and many, but he does not compare himself to the Americans manufactured, designed and manufactured”. “”

“No one does it better than the good old USA,” he added.

The White House did not answer questions from Fox News Digital as to whether the president plans a direct blow on Iranian soil, although he said on several occasions that Iran could not have a nuclear weapon and issued a disturbing warning on Monday and said: “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.”

Earlier Monday, the president told journalists that he “did not want to talk about it” when asked what it would take in the United States to get “directly” in the Israel-Iran conflict.

However, he left the G7 meeting in Canada one day earlier to approach the current conflict and told journalists on the Air Force One that he was looking for a “real end” in the conflict.

“I do not look at a ceasefire. We look better than a cease-fire,” he said, adding: “I’m not too much mood to negotiate.”

Trump is expected to be in the situation room today, but any attack to come from the United States or Israel against Iran is not confirmed.
