🇮🇷This is the "Pickaxe Mountain".
It's made entirely from granite.
The site is 120-150 meters under this mountain.
I doubt even a nuke can do anything to it.

🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇷According to Bloomberg, Andy Burnham has approved the use of ''select'' UK bases for US strikes against Iran.

🇺🇦⚡️ — Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov will receive a new position in the Ukrainian government related to technological development.

📝 The Americans will probably try to bomb the base heavily with GBUs, which are aimed at creating seismic shock to kill and damage any life or sensitive instruments inside the base.

The base is also built with shock-isolation design (rubber/spring mounts, decoupled internal structures) to absorb the shock, and its corridors are designed to transfer the shock to deadening walls with shock-absorbing materials. I suggest you guys (If you are interested in materials science or a civil engineer) to read more about underground bases like these, they have some interesting information and ways to minimise and deflect such damage.

And that aside from everything, granite is dense and transmits shock differently than looser sediment. So unless they bury the never-fully-tested US 'Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator' concept and explode it next to the base (Because an air burst nuclear weapon wont do much), or run a 24-hour non-stop bombing campaign, they aren't doing anything huge just like last time.
