Pentagon’s ‘FASTEST BOMBERS’ AIRBORNE from UK after Trump THREATENS to ‘HEAVILY’ BOMB Iran’s nuclear site
US strategic bombers carrying bunker busters are heading towards Iran.
(The unconfirmed reports were right, they flew into US bases in the UK to load and refuel).

Pentagon have officially demanded the creation of GBU-76/B that will be 20000 to 30000 pounds (10T to 15T) with deep penetration capabilities to target bunkers that current bombs can't destroy.

Unconfirmed reports from military sources claiming that Iran managed to recover multiple American bombs from the sites across the country, including the GBU-57 bunker buster
The bombs are sent to IRGC engineering units for reverse engineering and some say that Araghchi sent one to Russia during his visit there (highly unlikely, because he traveled from Islamabad to St. Petersburg).
Anyway, this is a very interesting development and judging by previous successful reverse engineering jobs by #IRGC, I bet we will see Iranian missiles with bunker buster war heads in a not so distant future.
This will be a major setback for both US and Israel.

Exactly between two rescue operations for the crew members of the F-15E fighter jet that was shot down on Friday, B-2A Spirit strategic bombers, after a 36-hour flight over the Atlantic Ocean, attacked the secret underground headquarters of the IRGC during an important meeting in Tehran using GBU-57A/B MOP (15T bomb) bunker-buster bombs. The Pentagon is currently assessing the casualties, and it is estimated that a large number of high-ranking IRGC commanders have died.
PS. Most of America B-1 bombers are loaded and flown out of US bases in the UK. B-2 bombers either fly directly from US bases, make re-filling landing in the UK or flown from British base in Diego Garcia

The CENTCOM announces that the USAF has "employed" multiple 5,000lbs bunker buster munitions on hardened Iranian SSM sites across the coastline of the strait of 'Hormuz'.
Hours ago, 2 "B-1B Lancer" Strategic Bombers were reported returning from bombing Operations from the Persian Gulf.
The USAF has possibly used "GBU-28" or "GBU-72" bombs.

Why the #US’ giant bunker-busting bombs may have failed to reach their #nuclear targets in #Iran
They depicted America's #BunkerBuster bomb, the #MassiveOrdnancePenetrator, or #GBU57. It was being dropped from high above the Earth by a #B2 Spirit bomber. Then, the graphics showed it plowing a narrow channel deep beneath the ground — around 60 meters, or 200 feet — & erupting in an illustrated explosion.

#Hegseth said that a choice to move a number of B-2 bombers from their base in Missouri earlier Saturday was meant to be a decoy to throw off #Iran.
He added that the #US used other methods of deception as well, deploying fighters to protect the B-2 bombers that dropped 14 #BunkerBuster bombs on Iran’s most powerful #nuclear site. He said that all of these tactics helped the U.S. drop the bombs without tipping off Iran’s fighter jets or its air missile systems.

Experts & officials are closely watching to see whether the #B2bombers will move forward to a US-British #military #base on the #IndianOcean island of #DiegoGarcia. Experts say that Diego Garcia is in an ideal position to operate in the #MiddleEast.
The #UnitedStates had B-2 bombers on Diego Garcia up until last month, when they were replaced with B-52 bombers.

I spoke about this a little bit on my personal account, so I'll try to keep this quick. If you're trying to figure out why Trump hasn't *already* declared the attack on Iran he so clearly desires to order, recent news that taking out Iran's nuclear facilities won't be a simple as a short B2 bombing run with bunker buster bombs, may provide a clue.
Trump caution on Iran strike linked to doubts over ‘bunker buster’ bomb, officials say
"But the defense officials who received the briefing were told that using conventional bombs, even as part of a wider strike package of several GBU-57s, would not penetrate deep enough underground and that it would only do enough damage to collapse tunnels and bury it under rubble.
Those in the briefing heard that completely destroying Fordow, which Israeli intelligence estimates to go down as far as 300ft (90 metres), would require the US to soften the ground with conventional bombs and then ultimately drop a tactical nuclear bomb from a B2 bomber to wipe out the entire facility, a scenario Trump is not considering.
The assessments were made by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a component of the defense department that tested the GBU-57, as it reviewed the limitations of US military ordinance against a number of underground facilities."
In some respects, this Guardian piece is exactly the type of war porn imperialist marketing garbage I don't believe should be printed in public newspapers, but I'm sharing it here because it tells us a lot about the nature of the war Trump is considering launching, and the conduct of our "ally" Israel, who just started a war with Iran they can't "win" without us. The background you need to understand here is that the Israeli PM wants Trump to use "bunker busting" bombs only the United States has, to destroy an underground Iranian nuclear facility built into the side of a mountain, called Fordow. Launching such a strike would of course immediately result in the US being *officially* at war with Iran, but it likely appeals to the Swine Emperor because it does not involve the deployment of ground troops or tactical nuclear weapons we shouldn't ever use under any circumstances.
Netanyahu has assured Trump that American B2 bombers dropping bunker buster bombs will destroy Iran's nuclear program entirely, and so have all the anti-Iran warpigs in Trump's government or personal orbit. There's just one problem: it's almost certainly not true. The US military says the GBU-57 bomb (the bunker buster) can penetrate depths up to 60 meters; Israeli intelligence openly says the Iranian facility at Fordow goes as deep as 90 meters (a meter is kinda like a yard, in American.) It also sounds like we have no idea how dropping it on the side of the mountain will affect the results of a bombing run on Fordow, but it doesn't sound like it'll be good. Furthermore, according to at least one military expert, it's not even clean dropping bunker busters would actually set the (nonexistent if our intelligence agencies are to be believed) Iranian nuclear weapons program back all that much.
"It would not be a one and done,” a former Dtra deputy director, retired Maj Gen Randy Manner, said of the GBU-57’s limitations, adding that Fordow could be quickly rebuilt. “It might set the program back six months to a year. It sounds good for TV but it’s not real.”
I don't know about you, but literally nothing about "dropping a tactical nuke" sounds like a good idea to me, and this whole thing sure seems like a well-crafted scheme to use American troops on the ground in Iran to topple a regime Christian nationalists in the Trump administration, a bipartisan swathe of US warhawks, and the Israeli government have wanted to take out for decades. Given the access to intelligence that everyone involved here has, from Netanyahu to guys like Tom Cotton, I'm pretty sure the shitty math behind a bombing run on Fordow is not news to them, but they're encouraging Trump to give it a try anyway. I'm not a mind reader, but it sure does seem like the anti-Iran wing of the Trump regime, and the government of Israel are trying to walk Trump into a forever war against Iran on purpose, by promising our absolutely moronic fascist president a quick and easy victory that casts him as *the* hero for the Pig Empire.
Folks, I can't stress this enough: Iran is not building nuclear weapons. The Kelpto Kaiser's own DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently reported as much and that Iran is at least three years away from being able to do so if the government decides to give it a try. There is absolutely no valid reason for Trump to bomb Fordow, but the fact that doing so is on paper a fool's errand speaks strongly to what these bloodthirsty warpigs are trying to walk you and your kids into as we speak. After all, it won't be Barron Trump getting drafted.

Even before the war with Iran started it was clear that even the best bunker buster bombs probably couldn't destroy the deepest facilities in Iran. It makes the rationality of a US participation in the war less clear, Israel doesn't need US help to destroy other kinds of targets.

From 2006: #BunkerBuster bombs containing #DepletedUranium warheads used by #Israel against #civilian targets in #Lebanon
By Dr. Doug Rokke
Global Research, November 06, 2006"The delivery of at least 100 GBU 28 bunker busters bombs containing depleted #uranium warheads by the #UnitedStates to Israel for use against targets in Lebanon will result in additional #radioactive and chemical #toxic contamination with consequent adverse health and #environmental effects throughout the #MiddleEast. #Israeli #TankGunners are also using depleted uranium tank rounds as photographs verify.
"Today, U.S., British, and now Israeli military personnel are using illegal uranium munitions- America’s and #England’s own '#DirtyBombs' while U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, and British Ministry of Defence officials deny that there are any adverse health and environmental effects as a consequence of the manufacture, testing, and/or use of uranium munitions to avoid liability for the willful and illegal dispersal of a radioactive toxic material – depleted uranium.
"The use of uranium weapons is absolutely unacceptable, and a crime against #humanity. Consequently the citizens of the world and all governments must force cessation of uranium weapons use. I must demand that Israel now provide medical care to all DU casualties in Lebanon and clean up all DU contamination.
"U.S. and British officials have arrogantly refused to comply with their own regulations, orders, and directives that require United States Department of Defense officials to provide prompt and effective medical care to “all” exposed individuals. Reference: Medical Management of Unusual Depleted Uranium Casualties, DOD, Pentagon, 10/14/93, Medical Management of Army personnel Exposed to Depleted Uranium (DU) Headquarters, U.S. Army Medical Command 29 April 2004, and section 2-5 of U.S. Army Regulation 700-48. Israeli officials must not do so now.
[...]
"The previous and current use of uranium weapons, the release of radioactive components in destroyed U.S. and foreign military equipment, and releases of industrial, medical, research facility radioactive materials have resulted in unacceptable exposures. Therefore, decontamination must be completed as required by U.S. Army Regulation 700-48 and should include releases of all radioactive materials resulting from military operations.
"The extent of adverse health and environmental effects of uranium weapons contamination is not limited to combat zones but includes facilities and sites where uranium weapons were manufactured or tested including #Vieques; #PuertoRico; #ColonieNewYork; #ConcordMA; #JeffersonProvingGrounds, #Indiana; and #SchofieldBarracks, #Hawaii. Therefore medical care must be provided by the United States Department of Defense officials to all individuals affected by the manufacturing, testing, and/or use of uranium munitions. Thorough environmental remediation also must be completed without further delay."

I'm seeing reports of #Israel using #BunkerBuster bombs, but did you know that #DepletedUranium is often used in those bombs?
"Often, these types of bombs use depleted #uranium in their casing, similar to certain shells, which enhances their strength. While this does not make them #nuclear weapons, it does disperse #radioactive contamination at the impact site, which can be felt in an area of several meters, at low levels."

On Morning Joe this week, an Israeli paratrooper, on speaking promo tour in the US. He said (paraphrased): Once we destroy Hamas, the Gazans "can go home", quote precise. No challenge to his face that there aren't homes to return to. Our tax $$ paid to build much of Gaza infrastructure & have now paid to level it.
Abt as densely populated as Manhattan, a bit larger. What would 100s of 2000# bombs do to Manhattan?
