US media: Trump doubts whether ground-penetrating bombs can completely destroy Iran's underground nuclear facilities

According to the AXIOS website, Trump advisers said that a key question that has been haunting Trump in recent days is whether the United States can actually destroy Iran's most heavily fortified nuclear facilities if it joins the Israeli war and throws giant earth-penetrating bombs. Trump's doubts about the success rate of the operation on Wednesday are one of the reasons why he is still weighing whether to launch a strike. US officials said that Trump needs to confirm that such a strike is necessary, will not plunge the United States into a protracted war in the Middle East, and most importantly, can actually achieve the goal of destroying Iran's nuclear program. If Trump decides to go to war, it is almost certain that he will destroy the Fordow nuclear facility. According to US officials, Trump specifically consulted military advisers whether the giant earth-penetrating bomb could destroy Fordow. While Pentagon officials have expressed confidence, Trump does not appear fully convinced. Current and former officials have pointed out that the bomb has been tested many times but has never been used in combat. (Kim Ten)
