US General Dan Caine revealed that the 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs used in weekend strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities were the result of a 15-year development program. The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, dropped by B-2 bombers, were specifically designed to penetrate deeply buried targets like Fordow. The operation, involving 14 bombs, aimed to disrupt Iran's nuclear program. While the US military claims success, assessments vary, with some suggesting the setback could be only months, not years.
