Israeli security sources reveal plans to strike Iran's Fordow nuclear facility, possibly within 72 hours. Israel prefers US involvement due to superior firepower, specifically the GBU-57 bomb, but may act alone if necessary to maintain military advantage. The window for action is closing due to potential shifts in global opinion and economic concerns. While Israel's F-15s lack the range and payload for a decisive strike, the US's B-2 bombers with GBU-57s offer a more effective solution. However, Iran's ability to escalate the conflict with proxies and cyber warfare presents significant risks.
