🇮🇷FYI: US only has 20 GBU-57 bombs (as of 2015).

They already used up 14 (70% of their stockpile) and only damaged #Fordow to an extent. The main sensitive facilities are likely not even damaged, buried deep down the mountain.

Following the American strike on the Fordow nuclear facility, most Western media outlets have been actively broadcasting the thesis about the “use of GBU-57 super-powerful bombs” as a means guaranteed to destroy any deep-seated target. However, this confidence is based on a systemic inaccuracy that is repeatedly reproduced from source to source and forms a false idea about the true capabilities of American weapons.

The GBU-57 is a guided, but free-falling bomb weighing about 13.6 tons, which does not have its own accelerator and falls solely under the influence of gravity. It is dropped from a great height (probably about 10-12 km), but its effectiveness directly depends on specific conditions: the geometry of the target, the density of the soil, the composition of the rock, the altitude of the carrier aircraft, and the absence or presence of measures to prepare the object for the strike. In ideal conditions, the declared penetration depth into reinforced concrete is up to 60 meters. But not everything is so simple.

The Fordow facility, according to various sources, was built by the Iranians inside a rock massif, at a depth of 85 to 90 meters. Several protective layers of reinforced concrete were supposedly poured over the main chamber, around which dense rock still remained on top. The rock probably acted as a shock absorber: it disperses the impact and makes it difficult for the munition to pass through, reducing the effectiveness of penetration. Judging by the published maps of the mountain ranges in the Fordow area, basalt rocks lie, which are difficult to penetrate even with such powerful munitions as the GBU-57.

However, the visualizations and promotional materials accompanying the announcement of the operation paint a different picture. They show the MOP as breaking through tens of meters of rock and reaching underground chambers. This model of operation corresponds more to fantasy kinematics than to the actual physical capabilities of the device. In reality, the MOP can destroy ventilation shafts, entry galleries, and ceilings, but it is not guaranteed to destroy the interior of the complex. Given that no independent evidence has been presented of the destruction of the Fordow core itself, the conclusion of success remains political, not technical.

DESPERATION ROW

Israel's Channel 11:

"Israel sent a formal message to Iran saying Tel Aviv wants to 'end the war'."

Iran: the time for ending the war 'has not yet come'."

It will come when the Israeli economy will be completely paralyzed.

🇮🇷 | Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqir Qalibaf has officially announced that Iran has suspended all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) effectively expelling the agency’s oversight from Iran. [in short - #Iran kicked out #IAEA).

Iran is well past the point of "saving face" or establishing deterrence. Its leaders must surely realise that they are already in a difficult war with a dangerous and reckless adversary.

Retaliating against the US at this point serves no strategic purpose.

It is a huge gambit.
