{{Anchor|Fordow}}
On Saturday night, June 21. 2025, the [[United States]] launched an attack intervened by launching attacks dubbed [[Midnight Hammer]] on three Iranian sites alleged to contain the remnants of Iran's nuclear program. Initial reports from the Trump administration claimed that all three sites were 'completely destroyed.' Commenters on military affairs contend that this is unlikely. The bunkers, particularly Fordow, are buried deeper than conventional US [[missile]]s are likely able to penetrate.
The assault was carried out using multiple 30,000 lb. bunker buster bombs. These are conventional non-nuclear weapons. [[MIT]] [[Prof. Ted Postol]] explained to [[Lt. Col. Daniel Davis]] why the bunker busters are unlikely to destroy well-buried facilities. As illustrated, there are physical barriers that can be used to deflect bunker buster missiles. This means that most don't burrow as deeply as is needed to destroy deeply buried bunkers.<ref>[https://youtu.be/TriASB-F5UY BUNKER BUSTER BOMB Myth] /MIT [[Prof Ted Postol]] & Lt Col Daniel Davis.</ref>
