flag US military admits bunker-buster bombs ineffective against deep Iranian nuclear site, switches to missiles.

flag US military leaders confirmed that bunker-buster bombs were not effective against Iran's deep Isfahan nuclear site, opting instead for Tomahawk missiles. flag While B-2 bombers used these bombs on shallower sites like Fordow and Natanz, the geology of Isfahan required different tactics. flag Despite the US claiming a "clean hit" with 14 bunker-buster bombs and 30 missiles, experts doubt the operation's success in completely dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities. flag There are calls to develop a more advanced bunker-buster weapon, as the current stock of GBU-57s is dwindling.
