Military Did NOT Use Bunker-Buster Bomb in Iran
US’ top general tells lawmakers
The US military did not use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s largest nuclear sites last weekend
because the site is so deep that the bombs likely would not have been effective, the US’ top general told
senators during a briefing on Thursday.
The comment by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, which was described by three people who
heard his remarks and a fourth who was briefed on them, is the first known explanation given for why the
US military did not use the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb against the Isfahan site in central Iran.
US officials believe Isfahan’s underground structures house nearly 60% of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile,
which Iran would need in order to ever produce a nuclear weapon.
So Iran nuclear bomb capability remains.
