“So even with bunker-busters, when you’re talking about sites like Fordow that are half a mile under mountains, there’s no certainty that the U.S. can actually completely destroy the stuff,” Rosemary Kelanic, the director of the Middle East program at Defense Priorities, told the Washington Examiner.
“And so, where does that lead you?” she continued. “Well, if the U.S. bombs them, and we’re not certain whether or not it will actually destroy its sites, or we’re not certain that we’ve gotten all the stockpiles. … If we leave it only partly disabled, that gives Iran every incentive to run for a bomb.”
