Pentagon Shows Results of the Destruction of Iran’s Nuclear Sites

To demolish heavily protected subterranean locations, such as Iran's Fordow complex, the Pentagon unveiled video of bunker-buster bombs on Thursday. These bombs have a weight of thirty thousand pounds. The six bombs "went exactly where they were intended," according to Gen. Dan Caine, who refuted the assertions that the sites were unharmed.
A Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) dives into its target and sets it ablaze through a shaft in the video, demonstrating the bomb's penetrating capabilities before it goes off. General Dan Caine explained that the design of the bombs is intended to thoroughly bury themselves before functioning, stating, "Unlike a normal surface bomb, you won't see an impact crater."
According to Caine, "all six weapons at each vent... went exactly where they were intended to go" when they attacked Iran's Fordow enrichment complex. Just days after doubts surfaced regarding the efficacy of attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, the Pentagon unleashed shocking video on Thursday demonstrating the devastating might of America's most advanced bunker-busting weaponry.
The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 30,000-pound bomb designed to bury itself in heavily fortified subterranean targets before going off, is shown in the movie. Instead of focusing on the bomb's surface-level devastation, one piece of footage shows it penetrating a target and setting off a brilliant fire that shoots into a vertical shaft.
Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated during Thursday's briefing at the Pentagon that these bombs are designed to firmly bury themselves before they detonate, so they won't leave an impact crater.
At Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment complex, Caine verified that six bunker-busters were sent per vent by the United States and stressed that "all six weapons... went exactly where they were intended to go." Anonymous statements quoted by CNN earlier this week indicated that U.S. strikes had failed to destroy nuclear targets; this remark seems to directly contradict such claims.
The Pentagon video showed a munition pounding through a reinforced surface in slow motion before detonating, showing that the munition could go far underground before going off. Moreover, footage from the virtual target's inside "mission space" showed the devastating impact.
Blast, fragmentation, and overpressure are the three destructive impacts of a bomb, as Caine put it. "Overpressure and blast were the principal means of death in this instance." His final word was a caution: "Consider this six times over."
