We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
— ❗️NOTE: Iran's Fordow nuclear enrichment facility is located approximately 90 meters deep underground, and the maximum penentration of a single GBU-57 'MOP' (Massive Ordnance Penentrator) is 60 meters in optimal conditions.
The penentration capability of the MOP is likely much lower in rock formations with a higher PSI density, like the granite mountains near Qom where Fordow is located.
The Americans would almost certainly need to drop at least 3-4 of these bombs in the very same pinpoint location to even have a chance at damaging the main underground enrichment halls, assuming they are not dispersed.
Even then, U.S. military research shows that every 'additional' GBU-57 dropped on the original crater only increases the depth by around 20-30%, and reaches a total plateau at around the 4th bomb.
The debris / smoke that would be emitted from the initial strike on the mountain would already complicate the dropping of the second bomb due to limited visibility, which impacts accuracy and effectiveness.
All of this is assuming that Fordow is located directly under the 90 meters of granite rock, without any additional fortifications like UHP (Ultra High Performance) concrete surrounding the enrichment halls, as well as blast proof ceilings and air-burst shafts.
The only RELIABLE way to destroy Fordow is with a tactical nuclear warhead, which Trump will never do, because that would almost certainly open up the way for Putin to use tactical nukes in Ukraine.

🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.
Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.
This could’ve ended so badly..

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.
I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.
He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.
One statistic really caught my attention.
According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.
Now add another surge in energy prices.
Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.
His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.
And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.
Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
