— ❗️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.

🛢📈 — Reuters reports that oil is approaching $100 per barrel following the latest exchange of attacks between Americans and Iranians on oil tankers.
▶️The price of Brent crude has risen to $97.07 per barrel, while American WTI crude has risen to $92.28. In the past week, Brent has risen by 7.8%, while WTI has risen by nearly 10%.
▶️On Saturday, U.S. forces attacked three Iranian oil tankers, one of which was stationed near the island of Kharg, a key center for Iranian oil exports. In response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and three more U.S. ships.
▶️In this context, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has sharply declined. Over the past 10 days, an average of only 10 cargo ships have transited the strait per day – the lowest level since May.
The WHO now states on its website:
Vaccination against COVID-19 can trigger multiple sclerosis through cross-reactive CD4+-T cells that recognize the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and myelin peptides.
In other words: Your own immune system destroys the nerve pathways and then attacks your brain and spinal cord.
