Part of ORAC's post:
The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, the weapon that hit Parchin, weighs 30,000 pounds. It penetrates up to 200 feet of earth or 60 feet of reinforced concrete. Granite is neither earth nor concrete. It is igneous rock with a compressive strength that exceeds both. One hundred metres of granite is 328 feet. The GBU-57’s maximum earth penetration is 200 feet. The uranium sits 128 feet beyond the reach of the most powerful conventional weapon the United States possesses.
But dropping ANOTHER GBU-57 into the crater of the first, which has already removed 200ft of cover, could provide the means to reach that depth, especially as the shock waves from each might have caused collapses throughout the structures - if they exist....
The World has watched Iran over the last 40+ years develop a "religious" ideology casting the US as "The Great Satan"and, by extension Europe, as their enemy.
We were too Woke and afraid of "upsetting Islamic Nations" to suggest that the Iranian view was warped and bore little relation to the actual words of the Prophet or the way Islam should be regarded.
The Gulf States watched and did little to counter that the Iranian "Islamic" model was a threat to moderate Islam or to the teachings of Islam.
Treating women as chattels to produce as many offspring; to make them believe the Prophet neeeded them to cover their hair, wear shapeles bags and be cowed by any man does no credit to Islam.
Perhaps Iranian women might be the ones to defy the Ayatollahs and force regime change, once the militias have been reduced.
