Iran's fortifications and the push for a deeper nuclear weapon
Israeli reports have revealed that the United States faces a strategic challenge in targeting Iran's deeply fortified underground nuclear facilities, such as the Fordo facility and the new mountainous rock formation. The solid rock depths hinder the effectiveness of conventional weapons, prompting the consideration of using tactical nuclear warheads like the B61-11 to generate deep shock waves. The ongoing struggle between penetration methods and armor dates back to the late World War II era, when strategic centers typically moved underground into deep tunnels to protect missile platforms and leadership. This reflects a continuous cycle of military innovation aimed at confronting nuclear threats and complex fortifications.
