Trump Used 6 Bunker Buster Bombs & 30 Tomahawk Missiles To Obliterate Iran’s… by OLAADEGBU(op): 8:55am On Jun 22, 2025
It’s believed to be able to penetrate about 200 feet below the surface before exploding. Read more: https://trib.al/5ZjVBl2

Nice one from my man. The people's president

After the United States launched attacks on three of Iran's nuclear facilities Saturday, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to say that the United States is prepared to respond to retaliatory strikes from Iran.

Why is Trump targeting Iranian nuclear sites ?

Why isn't he taking out the missile bases that Iran has been firing from at Israel ?

FYI, those nuclear sites are up to 300-800m deep in a granite mountain.

Those bunker bombs can't penetrate beyound 4-10 feet of concrete and whatever strikes they carried out yesterday only targeted entry and exit points.

These nuclear sites are constructed like regular coal mines in a circular descending manner making any explosion from bunker bombs ineffective in creating the neccessary barometric wave blasts that could cause further damage beyond the points of strike and even at that just a few feet below its 4-10ft penetrating point and not at the 800 meter depth were the nukes are stored

Its all smoke from Trump and I believe he ordered those strikes to prevent Israeli lunatics from launching nukes directly at Iran over fears that things will escalate badly with Pakistan, NK, China and Russia retaliating back on Israel.

The mission was to reign in the lunatics in Telaviv who want to go all Samson option.

As I write this now, Iranian drones and missiles are still landing on Israel and the Houthis have now torn up their truce agreement and have vowed to target every US warship in their waters and merchant navies of countries alligned to Israel.

You don't know more than the Israeli Government. If Israel says the facilities have been destroyed, then they have really been destroyed. Stop consoling yourself with your false write-up. As for the missile barrage on Israel this morning, Israeli jets have attacked western Iran, destroying 8 of the Launchers used to launch those missiles. 4 of them were yet to launch the missiles they were carrying.

If they want to kill the supreme leader they would have done that as well. He should rather take this as a lesson. The era of bunker as a safe haven for most wanted people is gone.

We now have powerful bunker burster bomb air strikes. with Satellite imaging and data tracking and capturing of live location.

They will kill him like Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein if he doesn’t retreat. ISREAL have said killing him is now top official priority.

You think you will evacuate Nuclear facilities and they wouldn't know ? They would allow you evacuate only personnel but one radioactive material will not leave that area , if it did Geiger drones that have been monitoring the area since the war started would have notice movt of any radioactive Material

Do you even know what 10ft looks like? Even a 50 cal anti matter rifle will punch some 10f concrete, the GBU 57 used last night will penetrate 200ft easily , add a depleted uranium blast tip it will penetrate 100 meters which is the depth bof fodow ..the results are out the place was completely obliterated

We'll be here in a few weeks when they start saying again that Iran is building nukes. Just so you know, 6 bunker busters are unlikely to even make a dent on the facility since it's 650m deep under mountain of solid rocks. The fact that there's no reports of radiation leaks means that the facility is fully intact.

GBU57 can penetrate 30ft of earth material not 650m of solid granite mountain. That's why they struck it 6 times but still I doubt it was effective since no radiation leaks were detected

Go back and read what I wrote and this time take note of the SI units I used.

I said those IIranian nuclear sites are buried 300 to 800 metres deep in a solid granite mountain.

You are here referring to feets.

FYI, 30feet make 1 metre.

200feet is about 60metres

The bunkers are believed to be buried deep up to 800 metres


And if you read again, you will see where I said any effective strike with the bunker buster bombs will target entry and exit points and the aim is to both collapse entry/exist passages and not in any way to get to the facility itself.

The US used same bombs to target Alqaeda and Taliban mountain cave bases carved out of soft stone mountains and the main aim was to create a thermobaric blast wave that will travel deep into the mountain caves by detonating close to entry points.

In the case of Iranian nuclear sites, these are buried down as deep as 800 metres in solid granite rock.

Tell me which munition dropped from a bomber can penetrate to that depth and still be effective?

Do you even know how deep 800 metres is ?

Lol. 950+ ballistic missiles and drones launched into Israel, about 50 impacts. Israel's air defence system is brilliant. No defence system in the world is 100% efficient. Trump job was to destroy underground nuclear enrichment facilities and Trump has done just that. The US is no longer directly needed in this conflict. Israel will finish what it started.

Yeah . No damage at all but the same Israeli govt quickly passed a law that criminalizes filming and uploading pictures of bombed sites.

The bombing run did nothing.

Probably collapsed entry passages but nothing more.

It was just done to prevent the Israeli lukid looneys from launching nukes at Iran

Israel banned filming of government and sensitive sites that were partially damaged because posting such photos online gives the Iranian regime information on how to recalibrate the targets of their missiles. Several houses in Israel have been destroyed already and the photos are online. As for Iran, Israel has limited the amount of missiles they can launch at a time from 200 at the start of the conflict to about 30 as at today. The war continues and the end will tell but trust me, Iran will be humiliated.

There is no bunker on earth that can be almost a kilometer under ground please
Fordow the deepest of them was 80metres underground, it's was hit with 3 GBU57 one after the other , trust me nothing is there again

Bunker penetrating bombs do not create craters at point of entry .

You can clearly see craters and earth shifts upwards around the penetrating points.

This is indicative that the bunker bombs did not penetrate deep into their target .

The reason for bunker bombs is to pierce through a protective layer and detonate deep below it.

The major blast should be contained within the bunker.

If you see cratering above , know that the bunker bombing detonated a few feet on pemetratuon and that debris now visible above was from rupturing from bbelowt the point of secondary detonation

Its like a 50 cal snipper bullet that penetrates a solid steel ballistic shield .

The entry will be a smooth bore if it makes it through the ballistic shield. If it didn't , you will see the momentum of the bullet spread in opposite direction and the entry point will look like a crater and not a smooth bore.

The GBU 57 easily penetrates 60 metres of mountain, remember but was developed to penetrate mountains in Afghanistan, the Fordow in question is just 80 meters below into that mountain, a special GBU was used yesterday that was designed for this operation and I suspect it will have depleted uranium embeded in it so will easily crush 100 meters , if trump says the place was obliterated then it was , he has no reason to lie, the Israelis also concur the place is buried for good

The Iranians pulled it IFC just as they also developed the best suicidal loitering drone that has an effective range of up to 1,500 to 2,000km .

The same Iranians have also developed hypersonic vehicles to deliver their bombs on Israel.

And FYI, 98% of Iran is mountains with a mean elevation of about 1,500ft. This is roughly the height of is plateau. The Zagrous mountain ranges have a mean elevation of 6,500ft above msl. This is roughly 2,000m

So why do you assume a technologically self sustaining country like Iran won't use their natural mountains to their advantage ?

The only country to have dropped nukes on an adversary and the other being the only nuclear powered country that is not signatory to any nuclear pact.

Israel even denies it has nukes but same Israel has an endgame doctrine of nuking the whole planet.

Between the US/Israel and Iran, I will prefer Iran to have nukes .

The Russians built Fordow , Mossad agent have infiltrated the place for years , western intelligence v knows all the need to know about the depth of that place , you can see Isreal didn't bother attacking the place because they know their own bunker buster can hurt the place , but they know the Americans have the stuff that can destroy that place , we are all mistaking to thinks US used the GBU57 for the strike but I believed they used something even more powerful that we don't know off

You and the Iranians need to stick to one story.

Iran says the radioactive materials have been moved hence no leak.

You say the materials are still there and the bombs did not reach them hence no leak.

Which one we go believe?
