Only US has weapons capable of halting Iran's nuclear program, say experts
Experts suggest that only the US possesses the weapons capable of halting Iran 's nuclear program – particularly the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), a 13.6-tonne bunker-busting bomb.
Israel has launched "Operation Rising Lion," striking near Iranian nuclear facilities and assassinating military commanders, but Iran's underground facility at Fordow remains unaffected.
Iran's most fortified nuclear site, Fordow is deeply embedded within a mountain, potentially beyond the reach of even the MOP, raising concerns about the effectiveness of military intervention.
Analysts suggest the deployment of B-2 bomber jets to the UK-US military base in the Chagos Islands would signal US action.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned against military action jeopardizing nuclear facilities, citing grave consequences, while Israel claims to have contingencies to deal with Fordow, including potential commando operations.
