— The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 19, 2025According to a recent Politico report, Trump is consultingwith the National Security Council as the Pentagon re-evaluates its options fortargeting Iran’s Fordow uranium enrichment facility — a site fortified deepwithin a mountain and long seen as a core challenge to any military solution.
Trump has not yet authorized military strikes on Iran’sFordow nuclear facility due to lingering doubts about the ability of the GBU-57“bunker buster” bomb to destroy the deeply buried site.
The US president affirmed that any military action wouldonly be justifiable if there was a guarantee that the 30,000-pound bomb couldeffectively neutralize the underground uranium enrichment facility, according tothe Guardian.
The Fordow site is estimated to extend as deep as 300 feet (about 91m), has long been viewed bymilitary planners as one of the most challenging targets in Iran’s nuclearinfrastructure.
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) assessed that theGBU-57 bomb could damage Fordow by collapsing tunnels, but would not fullydestroy the facility without a broader strike; officials noted that only atactical nuclear weapon could guarantee total elimination, though that optionis not being considered by the Trump administration.
