Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Not sure what you are referring to, but if this is a serious question, then a 50 MT Tsar Bomba will actually create a crater 102 Meters deep, which would be pretty much a waste of the most powerful nuke at expense of huge destruction around it laterally. For standard soil, the Formula is:

Crater Depth = 4 X {Kt Yeild} ^ 0.3, which comes to 102 Meters for 50,000 KT weapon.

Again, this is standard soil, we are not yet talking about reinforced concrete structures

Against mountain bedrock it reduces by a factor 10 to 100.

Now if a bunch of bunker busters first penetrated deep enough where a nuke can be dropped, then that's a different story. A GBU-57 MOP penetrates anywhere from 30 to 60 meters,

Highly doubt GBU-57 can cut thru 60 meters of granite, the Fordow site used the ventilation shaft.

so 2 of them would do better than tsar bomba when it comes to creating craters .. and 4 to 5 might reach in, but they would have to be dropped very very, very precisely on on top of one another. Until now US and israel have been unable to do so and looks like they have given up already.

There is major doubt the sensitive components of any major nuclear weapon could survive the drop thru mountainous terrain let alone a TSAR Bomba class weapon.

The shockwaves might damage the structures right underneath it, but won't destroy the missile complexes completely.

this would not apply if it is detonated near a tunnel entrance

If the Syrians want their recently lost land back and the Golan Heights too then they should at least ignore weapons coming from Iran/Iraq into Lebanon.
Turn a blind eye to the smuggling!
Israel's Achilles Heel would be any militias on its border firing cheap rockets from mobile, hidden places.

Desalination plants that’s all they need. They’re all brought over to rule over from epstein island. They will run to the respective football club cities as soon as shyt hits the fan

Nice info, its good to learn new stuff.

But anyway, the good thing is that US & Israel seem to have given up, seems like they cannot reach into the Missile cities with anything currently in their arsenal.

Though I'm not sure if they actually destroyed Fordow as well. CNN published reports showing that the aftermath did show craters, but there were no signs of a significantly destroyed facility in the form of soil depression. Then again, US is pretty politically charged, so CNN might right . or they might be onto anti-Trump narrative.

Kharj Island is a potential target as it puts pressure on Iranian Energy revenues but enemy will not be able to smuggle anything from it. Iran might respond by destroying US allies energy infrastructure or put ground troops on GCC countries when the time is right.

Another target is the surrounding area of Strait of H as it is the chocking point that strangles the West and the assassination of IRGC Navy General was the starting point to disrupt the defenses. UAE might join and go full retard.

Also, you have the missile cities which house Iran's Ace weapon in the war so far. If Iran cannot launch, it is basically over.

Unless they know if there is enriched uranium somewhere, they will not go and dig for it. I could be wrong.

Kharg island doesn't help open the strait it just cripples Iran's economy you are right US could just blow it all up with no risk to troops so I don't see this as the objective. I think it will be islands directly in the choke point or on Iran's shore itself in the south east before the choke point®


Chabahar and Bandar Abbas ports are being mentioned by some analysts as potential targets for US.
