White House Weighs Strikes on Iran's Fordow Nuclear Site
The White House might bomb Iran's most protected nuclear site at Fordow. The facility sits 90 meters underground where regular bombs cannot reach it. America would need to use a massive 13-ton weapon called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator that only B-2 stealth planes can carry. This giant bomb has never been used before and works in two steps. First it smashes through rock using pure force and second it explodes inside the target. Even this monster weapon might not work because Iran built Fordow to survive such attacks. Israel wants to try a different approach using special forces soldiers. Israeli leaders say they will send people to do the job if bombs cannot break through the mountain. This would mean sending troops deep into Iran...
