The US showed footage of the use of the GBU-57 MOP anti-bunker bomb, which was used to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Footage of the use of bombs was shown by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army, Dan Kaine.

“Unlike conventional land bombs, you won’t see a crater from the impact because they are designed to burrow deep into the ground and then detonate,” he noted.

Speaking about the attack on Iranian targets, he added that all 6 munitions dropped on each ventilation shaft in Fordow hit exactly where they were intended.

It should be noted that Donald Trump reported that the Iranians did not manage to remove anything from the Fordow nuclear facility, which was destroyed as a result of an attack with GBU-57 MOP bombs.

“The cars and small trucks on site belonged to concrete workers who were trying to seal the top of the shafts. Nothing was removed from the site. It would have taken too long, it would have been too dangerous, and it would have been very heavy and difficult to move,” he noted.

In addition, the IAEA reported that the centrifuges at Fordow “are no longer functioning.”

Recall that the United States Air Force attacked Iran’s nuclear infrastructure , including the most protected facility in Fordow.

As reported, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said that the United States’ strikes succeeded in destroying Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran subsequently fired several missiles at American military bases in the Middle East in response to US strikes on Tehran’s nuclear program facilities.

Earlier, US intelligence reported that strikes on three major uranium enrichment sites in Iran failed to destroy key elements of Iran’s nuclear program . However, the strikes did delay the program’s development by about several months.
