The Blogging Hounds

A FEARSOME 15-ton mega bomb could soon be dropped to destroy Iran’s most secure underground nuke facility as the US prepares to join the war.

Donald Trump is all but poised to join Israel’s campaign of bombing Iran as they both seek to obliterate Tehran’s nuclear program.

His statements yesterday, along with America’s military movements, give us the clearest sign that the US is preparing to get involved in the Middle East.

Israel said its airstrikes on Iran will not stop until it destroys the regime’s capability of enriching uranium to weapon-grade and making a nuclear weapon.

At the heart of its nuclear program is the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant, which is encased in steel more than 300 feet beneath solid rock – and has so far escaped serious damage.

Israel’s arsenal lacks huge bunker buster bombs needed to destroy the underground enrichment facility – some 125 miles from capital Tehran.

Only America currently has the fearsome GBU-57 bombs capable of blitzing Fordow.

It’s a Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bomb that can penetrate deep inside the ground before blowing up.

The 20-foot-long monster bomb can explode to obliterate enemy targets that are often hidden beneath mountains and massive layers of rocks.

Its 30,000lb weight means that its sheer kinetic force enables it to reach deeply buried targets – almost 200ft beneath the surface.

It also means only the B-2 strategic bombers currently in the US fleet are capable of dropping them.

Multiple strikes would still be needed to reach the fortified underground laboratories of Fordow, packed with centrifuge technology at the heart of Iran’s Doomsday program.

Defense Analyst Paul Beaver told The Sun: “Israel will need literally to move a mountain to hit the plant.

“It’s protected by at least 90 meters of solid rock and has so far escaped serious damage.

“Options are to repeatedly bomb it for weeks until a breakthrough is achieved or a frontline is hit.”

Israel needs the US help to bomb Fordow, which is protected by troops and banks of Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile batteries.

President Trump is understood to have offered the crucial strike option in a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu before Rising Lion was launched.

And as Washington considers joining the war against Iran, a B-2 bomber strike using the GBU-57 is more likely than ever.

Bunker buster air strikes have hammered key uranium enrichment and conversion sites in Natanz and Isfahan, atomic energy watchdogs have confirmed.

Israeli officials admitted that Operation Rising Lion will not succeed unless the heavily fortified plant is taken out.

Meanwhile, the US military is deploying more fighter aircraft to the Middle East and extending the deployment of other warplanes as the war between Israel and Iran rages.

The Pentagon scrambled at least a dozen F-22 and F-35 fighter bombers to reinforce troops in Europe and the Middle East.

Experts said the F-22s and F-35s would most likely be used to bolster Israel’s air defense amid fears Tel Aviv could run low on its Iron Dome and interceptor missiles – the Arrow and THAAD.

At least 30 large air-to-air refuellers swooped across the Atlantic this week followed by at least a dozen F-22 Raptors and F-35 Lightning jets.

The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier is also steaming towards the Gulf to reinforce the carrier USS Carl Vinson.

The hulking $4.5billion nuclear-powered supercarrier, nicknamed Old Salt, is the flagship of the deadly Carrier Strike Group 11.

The strike group includes Carrier Air Wing Seventeen and Destroyer Squadron Nine – a potent combination of military hardware that will strike fear into Iran.

Dozens of USAF KC-135 Stratotanker refuelers and KC-46 Pegagus tankers swooped into bases in Prestwick, Scotland, Ramstein, Germany, Moron in Spain and Chania in Crete.

The KC-135s and KC-46s are designed to refuel fighter jets so they can stay airborne for longer and fly further to hit targets.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he had ordered “the deployment of additional capabilities” to the Middle East amid spiraling fears of World War Three.

But he insisted their role was “defensive”.

Trump has also given a two-day deadline for a “REAL end” to Iran’s nuclear program.

The US President has already warned the “full strength and might” of the military would be used if America was attacked.

He has also urged Tehran to evacuate “everyone”.

Israel’s ambassador also hinted at something big on the horizon – promising lethal “surprises” on Thursday that would dwarf its operations to date.

As Trump rushed back to meet his National Security Council, he vowed he was chasing something “better than a ceasefire”, which will force Iran into a “complete give up”.

He refused to specify the endgame, but ominously warned: “You’re going to find out over the next two days.”
