All about Iran's Fordo nuclear facility, which Israel hasn't been able to attack
Israel launched its 'Operation Rising Lion' against Iran last Friday to cripple the country's nuclear program which, according to Israel, poses an existential threat to it. During their surprise attacks on Friday, Israel hit several nuclear and military sites across Iran, including the one in Natanz, a key uranium-enrichment site in Iran. However, one site which it still has not been able to target but aims to do so is the Fordo nuclear site in Iran. Track live updates of Israel Iran conflict here. Buried deep under a mountain in Fordo is a nuclear site where Iran is enriching uranium to 60%, which is just a step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%, reported Associated Press. The site is around 100 kilometers southwest of Iranian capital Tehran. According to the United Nations nuclear watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran's largest number of its most powerful centrifuges are at Fordo, the report added.

It is built close to Qom, a holy city in Iran, and the true magnitude and what goes inside the facility is still a matter of speculation, reported CNN. However, there are some details revealed by Iranian documents that Israeli intelligence stole years ago. The facility is buried deep inside the mountain, with its main hall located some 80 to 90 meters under the ground. This protects the facility from any aerial bomb that Israel has.

Since it does not possess the kind of bomb to damage the underground nuclear facility at Fordo, Israel may need its long-time ally United States' help. The US has developed a massive bomb, GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which can only be dropped using a large aircraft, the B-2 stealth bombers, which Israel does not have, reported AP. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator is a 30,000-pound (14,000-kilogram) heavy bomb with the ability to attack deeply buried and hardened bunkers and tunnels. The warhead case is made from a special high performance steel alloy and its design allows for a large explosive payload while maintaining the integrity of the penetrator case during impact. The B-2 Spirit is the only aircraft in the Air Force programmed to employ the Massive Ordnance Penetrator. However, doing this would mean the United States would get involved in the conflict militarily, which the US has not done so far. It has only maintained defensive positions to protect its personnel in the Middle East and intercept some missiles coming Israel's way.

Israel-Iran conflict: Trump demands Iran's 'unconditional surrender'; 'battle begins,' says Khamenei
The Israel-Iran conflict further intensified on Tuesday with US President Donald Trump fanning the flames, issuing veiled threats at the Supreme Leader of Iran and demanding the "unconditional surrender" of the Islamic Republic. Both parties traded fire for the fifth consecutive day, with Israel launching attacks at Tehran's District 18 area, near the Mehrabad airport. Iran's missile attacks hit several parts of Tel Aviv, causing significant damage. In a Truth Social post, the US president warned Iran that it had total control over the skies of Tehran and also information on the whereabouts of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. "We know exactly where the so-called "Supreme Leader' is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there - We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don't want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump wrote. US officials have revealed that Trump had nixed a plan by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to assassinate Khamenei. In apparent response to Trump's comments, Khamenei posted on X, "...the battle begins." At a G7 summit in Canada, leaders including Trump had on Monday called for "de-escalation," while also stressing that Israel, which is the sole but undeclared nuclear power in the Middle East, had "the right to defend itself" and that "Iran can never have a nuclear weapon." At least 224 people, including 70 women and children, have been killed in Iran since Israel launched a massive and unprovoked attack on the Islamic Republic on June 13. The attack also killed several of Iran's highest military officials and senior nuclear scientists. Iran's retaliatory missile attacks have wreaked havoc in central and northern Israel, killing at least 24.
