🇮🇷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.

"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.

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.

Proliferation, Retaliation, And Other Consequences Of The War On Iran

🇮🇷In Iran, on the "wasteland" of the #Natanz site, a second impact was discovered, right in the center of a building covered with a multi-layer concrete/earth slab, which had been poured in 2002-2003, according to historical satellite images.
By adding a final layer of earth on top, the Iranian bureaucrats thought that their adversary would not know where to shoot?

In #Isfahan , since the infrastructure was not underground, cruise missiles were used to destroy the buildings.

The extreme precision of all impacts is noteworthy. The hegemon's competitors have their work cut out for them.

Iran launched further salvos of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation, including one with multiple warheads.
Several warheads penetrated Israeli anti-aircraft fire, landing everywhere as usual. An electrical substation was hit.
Some Iranian projectiles or drones that have been shot down fall back into Jordan, including on cities.
Iran also scored another confirmed aerial victory, this time against an Israeli drone.

In response, Israel has intensively bombarded military bases around Tehran and a large number of military targets, energy infrastructure, telecommunications, police services, and even the gate of a prison where political prisoners are held. The aim is to incite chaos in the country (remember , there is no pro-Western political force likely to seize power).

Late in the afternoon , it was learned that Iran was likely to attack a US airbase in #Qatar, which had been emptied of its aircraft two days earlier . This was a symbolic response to the symbolic #US attacks on sites that had also been evacuated two days in advance (however, Iran must have lost a lot of equipment that had not been evacuated). Qatar closed its airspace in advance to accommodate "possible" Iranian missiles. Pro-Iranian militias are also likely to attack US bases in Iraq in particular.

In the early evening , a few Iranian missiles expected at the al-Udeid air base in Qatar arrived, as if by chance, only 6 in number. Then, projectiles fell on the Ein al Asad air base in Iraq. No Iranian projectile hit the ground. But Iran accompanied this with an extremely warlike statement, explaining that it had pulverized the American headquarters in the Middle East
Of course, this is another pre-arranged strike . The US does not even hide this , sabotaging the arrangement with Tehran intended to give it authority.

Oil prices plummet after Iran's symbolic attack, the drama is apparently over, and threats to the Strait of Hormuz have been canceled. Nevertheless, the war continues.

📉 Oil prices fell after it emerged that Iran's attacks on US bases were extremely small and used outdated missiles that were easily intercepted by air defenses.
