Dealing with the Threat from Iran's New Underground Nuclear Facilities
(Jerusalem Post) Yonah Jeremy Bob - Reports that Iran is building a new nuclear facility deep underground near Natanz are not new and were first reported in 2020. If there have been debates about whether Israel could successfully strike Tehran's underground nuclear facility at Fordow, placed under a 960-meter mountain, the concerns jump significantly with the new facility, which is under a 1,608-meter mountain. The IDF's capabilities for hitting underground facilities are often creative. To stop these underground nuclear facilities from being used, they do not need to be destroyed - just caused to cave in. They might be able to be destroyed by several rounds of 5,000-pound bombs dropped one after another in the same spot. In a crisis moment, this facility is still not an Iranian checkmate against the Jewish state.
