The Iranian Isfahan nuclear facility was not struck by bunker buster bombs; the reasons revealed by senior US military leaders.
Jin10 data June 28 news, according to CNN reports, informed sources said that U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine stated at a briefing last Thursday that the U.S. military did not use bunker busters on one of Iran's largest nuclear facilities over the weekend because the site is too deep and the bombs might not work. This statement is the first explanation from the U.S. military as to why they did not use giant bunker busters on the Isfahan nuclear facility in central Iran. U.S. officials believe that the underground facilities in Isfahan house nearly 60% of Iran's enriched uranium reserves, which Iran will need to produce nuclear weapons. U.S. B2 bombers dropped dozens of bunker busters on Iran's Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities. However, Isfahan was only hit by Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines.
