Israel can't take out Iran nuclear facility without US

In less than a week, Israel's Air Force was able to take out all of Iran's air defenses

in the western part of the country, along with dozens of nuclear sites and military leaders

in an ongoing series of pinpoint strikes. If the Israeli Air Force wants to destroy the Fordow nuclear facility, though, it's

going to need help, and it can come from only one person, President Donald Trump

The list of Iran's military leaders and nuclear scientists killed so far in the recent Israeli

strikes is a who's who of the Mullah regime's top people. The head of the Islamic Revolutionary

Guard Corps, along with his commanders of the Air Force, Aerospace Force, and Intelligence Force

are all dead, as are most of the lead scientists working on Iran's nuclear program

The Iranian regime finds itself today in a place that I don't even think that in its

worse nightmare he thought it would be Avi Milamed is a former Israeli intelligence officer and hostage negotiator He now an author and founder of the organization Inside the Middle East

He says it's not surprising Israel's defense forces are experiencing so much success against Iranian targets

since the IDF was displaying similar expertise over the course of the wars with Hamas and Hezbollah

Whether it was the beeper attacks on Hezbollah, the daring commando raid on an underground Syrian weapons facility, or the recent strikes in Iran

Malamud says Israel is showing its commitment to dealing with the Mullah regime and its proxies

What we see is in a way more of the same, but obviously the major and crucial element here is the fact that we are looking at an arena that is 1,500 kilometers

away from Israel, and you are looking at a state, an enormously big state, Iran

which is about 60 times the size of Israel So of course from that perspective this is very impressive But even with its deep strike abilities the Israeli Air Force can take out the crown jewel

of the Iranian nuclear program, the Fordow Enrichment Facility. Its main hall is about

260 feet below ground. Nothing in the Israeli inventory is big enough to bust that bunker

The only thing that is big enough is the massive ordnance penetrator

Only the United States has the 30,000-pound conventional weapon, and only a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is big enough to carry it

meaning the only way to take out the Fordow site from the air

is if the United States gets directly involved in combat operations against Iran

While Israel would likely welcome the help, President Trump would be breaking a campaign promise

to keep the U.S. out of foreign conflicts. Malamud thinks it might not need to come to that, though

He says the most important thing the United States, and specifically President Trump

can do right now is show the Iranian regime he in lockstep with Israel The ultimate guiding interest of the regime is its survival its endurance And so it has to be

clear to the regime that if they're going back to the negotiation table, it's not to do another

endless rounds of talks and games, but basically to comply with terms that are going to be dictated

and presented to them all, as I said before, to risk the downfall of the regime

There are reports Iran is ready to negotiate a ceasefire, but neither Trump nor Israel is ready

for that just yet. Not until Jerusalem is convinced Tehran will never be able to enrich

uranium within its territory ever again. It shouldn't take too long to know what the U.S

and Israel decide to do though, President Trump did warn all of Tehran that they should leave

and Israel is showing no signs of slowing down. If you want more straight fact reporting like this
