Israeli Military Analyst: U.S. Bunker‑Buster Strike ‘Entombed’ Iran Uranium Deep Underground, Avoiding High‑Risk Ground Op
A ground operation, he wrote, would likely require more than 1,000 troops, the establishment of airstrips at sites such as Natanz and Isfahan to sustain the force, and heavy engineering equipment capable of opening sealed tunnels — all while exposing U.S. personnel to casualties and requiring a sustained American military presence inside Iran.
The alternative, he argued, is to neutralize the uranium by burying it so thoroughly that Iran would need at least a year to locate and recover it, buying the United States and Israel time to detect and disrupt any such effort.
No way they'll leave it there
