A U.S. Military Commander Explained Why A Superbomb Was Not Dropped On The Isfahan Facility

In a classified briefing, a high-profile detail was revealed.

Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Kane explained in a classified briefing to members of Congress why B-2 fighter jets dropped anti-bunker bombs on the nuclear facility at Fordow, while no such bombs were dropped on the Isfahan facility.

This is reported by CNN. According to General Kane, the U.S. military refrained from using bunker penetrating bombs, the Isfahan facility is so deep that even these bombs cannot penetrate it. For this reason, the U.S. military decided to use only Tomahawk missiles to take out the facility's ground infrastructure.

According to the report, the Isfahan facility is estimated by the U.S. to contain nearly 60 percent of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium, the material needed to make nuclear weapons. While U.S. B2 bombers dropped anti-bunker bombs on the Fordow and Natanz sites, the Isfahan facility was attacked only by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from a U.S. submarine.

Satellite images released Friday from the Isfahan facility show that at least one of the tunnel openings in the complex has reopened and various types of vehicles have been seen in the area - suggesting some sort of internal activity, according to CNN.

Senator Lindsey Graham clarified at the end of a classified congressional briefing that the purpose of the operation was not to destroy the stockpile of enriched uranium. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has estimated that most of the enriched uranium was stored at the Isfahan facility before the war, and there are indications that vehicles removed some cargo from there the day before the U.S. attack.

The Americans believe they were more successful in destroying equipment than uranium stockpiles. Unnamed senior officials confirm U.S. estimates that it will take years before the damaged facilities can be restored to operation. They estimate that the centrifuges at Fordow have been so badly damaged that Iran will not be able to enrich its uranium to 90 percent.
