Fordow: Iran’s Buried Nuclear Stronghold Only US Can Breach

Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment facility, buried deep in the mountains and fortified with thousands of centrifuges, remains impervious to Israel’s conventional arsenal.

Experts now suggest only the US GBU‑57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), delivered by B‑2 stealth bombers and backed by robust military support, can destroy Fordow’s hardened vaults.

While successful strikes could significantly hinder Iran’s nuclear breakout capability, such action carries high risks, including severe retaliation and regional instability.
