Can Israel Destroy Fordow Without US Support? Trump Pushes Timelines by Two Weeks.

Can Israel Destroy Fordow Without US Support? Trump Pushes Timelines by Two Weeks.

Israel must neutralise the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant to dismantle Iran's nuclear programme. This plant is a critical and highly fortified Iranian nuclear facility.

This is a 30,000-pound bunker-buster bomb delivered by US B-2 stealth bombers. A report…
