    Sounds like the strike was significant, but not decisive. In particular, they can’t target the plant in Fordow.

    If anything Israeli action reduces the likelihood of any deal and increases the possibility of the aytollahs quickly rebuilding nuclear infrastructure (article implies they have the capability) and going full nuclear.

      I dunno. This came up some time back when I was talking about whether deeper-penetrating bombs were necessary. Current guided bombs can be pretty accurate. I’m not sure that just dropping multiple bombs in the same spot wouldn’t work.

      Not just me either:

      Some experts think Israel could try to replicate the effect of a massive bunker buster by repeatedly bombing the same location.

        I have no clue whether this approach would or would not work. I am assuming the question would be how many times you need to drop bombs on the same location to target the facilities.

        I was just going the info in the article saying that haven’t touched Fordow.
