A national security expert casts doubt on the effectiveness of a potential US attack on Iran's Fordo nuclear facility, even using the Massive Ordnance Penetrator bomb. The facility's depth and reinforced construction, possibly extending over 300 feet within a mountain, make penetration uncertain. Even if successful, Iran possesses the knowledge and resources to quickly resume operations. The expert advocates for diplomatic solutions instead of military action, noting that bombing won't eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities. This comes amidst IAEA concerns about Iran's uranium stockpile and recent Israeli strikes.
