Why US' Most Powerful Bunker Buster Bomb May Not Penetrate Iran's Latest Nuclear Facility

Recent satellite images show that Tehran is building a nuclear facility deep in the earth in Zagros mountains in central Iran. As per reports, the facility is likely beyond the range of a last-ditch United States weapon designed to destroy such sites.
The US had developed a bomb, known as the GBU-57, specifically to be able to destroy an earlier underground facility, at Fordow. However, experts say that the GBU-57 may no longer be enough to destroy Iran’s nuclear hideout in the Zargos mountains.
