Could the U.S. Use Tactical Nukes on Iran’s Fordow Site?
It’s possible — but nearly unthinkable.
Fordow, Iran’s underground nuclear facility buried under 80 meters of rock, is designed to withstand conventional strikes.
While the U.S. has powerful bunker-busters like the GBU-57 MOP, doubts remain about their ability to fully destroy Fordow.
That’s why some mention tactical nuclear weapons, such as the B61-12, as a last-resort option.
These bombs can be tuned to specific yields and potentially collapse deep underground bunkers.
But the consequences would be massive:
Global backlash and isolation for the U.S.
Humanitarian disaster from fallout.
A new nuclear arms race.
Technically, the U.S. could do it. Politically and morally, it’s almost impossible.
For now, the idea remains theoretical — a capability that’s highly unlikely to be used.
🛢📈 — 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.
