Israel and Iran have continued to trade fire overnight, with Israel striking an Iranian centrifuge and Iran launching a hypersonic missile.

Only the U.S. military has the 30,000-pound bomb capable of reaching the facility and the bomber that can carry it.

Israel's escalating conflict with Iran over its increased nuclear as brought up speculation about the possible use of one of America's powerful weapons in the conflict.

A powerful American bunker-busting bomb is the only weapon capable of destroying Iran's deeply buried nuclear facilities, making it President Donald Trump's weapon of choice if he chooses to militarily back Israel.

The decision to launch a full-on attack on Iran would be in the gray area between the president’s powers as commander in chief and the Constitution’s mandate that only Congress can declare war.

The president is now openly threatening Iran and reportedly seriously considering committing U.S. forces to Israel’s attack. Here’s the latest.

Fordo is Iran's extremely fortified underground nuclear facility, built inside a mountain to protect it from air attacks. It plays a key role in enriching uranium, which, according to the IAEA, has reached a level of 83.7% in 2023 - almost the threshold for nuclear weapons.

Israel and Iran both have little incentive to stop and no obvious route to outright victory. Much depends on President Trump.
