Is the US bunker bomb bomb fully enabled to destroy the nuclear plant? Iran will be happy with the claim of former CIA station chief

Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) station chief Dan Hoffman has described the growing Israel-Iran struggle as one of the most important moments of Donald Trump. As the crisis is deepening in the Middle East, President Trump is allegedly considering whether Israel should be supported in a direct military attack against Iran. According to reports, President Trump has given himself two weeks to take this important decision, currently diplomatic talks are still going on. At the center of the request of Israeli is the Fordo fuel enrichment plant, a highly strong Iranian nuclear feature built in depth within a mountain. Israeli defense officers are urging the US to deploy their powerful 30,000 -pound “bunker buster” bombs. Bombs that are only with the US and are considered the only viable options to penetrate underground facilities.

Bunker-Buster Bomb called GBU-57. Its weight is 13,607 kg. It can explode to reach a depth of 200 feet (61 m) in the ground. Israel does not have this bum. The Israeli attacks in the last one week have caused serious damage to many military and nuclear bases in Iran, but the Fordo uranium enrichment plant is still safe. It is situated at the very depth of IAEA, which is very difficult to destroy it. The GBU-57 is capable of entering the ground 200 feet (61 m) before the bomb explosion. There is also a special fuse in the 6.6 meter long GBU-57 Vam. To destroy the bunker, an explosive is needed that does not explode immediately as soon as it collides with the ground. The bomb is activated to go about 61 meters inside the land. Then the bomb explodes.

These bunkers are designed to destroy deeply buried goals, especially from traditional weapons, which have become central for military calculations. However, speaking to Fox News, Hoffman warned that even these advanced bombs do not guarantee success in destroying the Fordo plant.
