Totalni laik i mozda glupo pitanje: mi imamo Strazevicu i jako puno je bombardovana 99, ali tu nije bilo vecih ostecenja. Kako se razlikuje ova bomba sa kojom je USA udarila po iranskom postrojenju od onoh sa kojima je gadjana Strazevica? Veca snaga ili neka tehnoligija za proboj kroz brdo? I kako se zna da je to uopste uspesno?

Da, bunker buster bombe su drugačije.

Čini mi se da je ova GBU-28 bacana i na aerodrom u Prištini...

Fordow: Iran’s nuclear crown jewel

The site was regarded as a symbol of Iran’s defiance

Fordow was Iran’s nuclear stronghold: deeply buried, heavily fortified, and politically charged.

More than just a uranium enrichment site, it was a symbol of Iran’s defiance. To Tehran, Fordow acted as insurance and a bargaining chip in nuclear diplomacy.

The site became the central flashpoint in the conflict between Iran and Israel and the US. Israeli officials reportedly viewed it as a priority target in their campaign to cripple Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and were pressuring Washington to intervene militarily to help neutralise it.

The site’s extreme fortification made it nearly impossible to attack without advanced bunker-busting weaponry, something only the US possesses. Experts said for years that Fordow is practically impregnable to conventional military attacks. US President Donald Trump has called Sunday's US strikes on Fordow a success, but their full impact remains unclear.

Where is it?

The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP) is located roughly 32 kilometres south of Qom, in the rugged terrain near the small village of Fordow, in central Iran’s Markazi province.

It is deep into the side of a mountain, adjacent to a military base operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

This seems to be no accidental placement: Qom is Iran’s religious capital, home to its most powerful clerics. By anchoring its most sensitive nuclear site here, Iran symbolically tied its atomic ambitions to its religious and ideological core.

Why was it the 'crown jewel'?

Fordow has often been called the crown jewel of Iran’s nuclear programme. The title comes not from size but from strategic survivability, secrecy, and symbolism.

It was one of the most heavily fortified nuclear facilities in the world. Buried under 80 to 100 metres of rock and reinforced concrete, it was designed to withstand military strikes, including those from bunker-buster bombs.

According to weapons analysts, only the US GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator – a 15-tonne bomb – had a chance of breaching it. Israeli bombs, by contrast, are widely considered insufficient for the job.

Fordow was built in secret in the mid-2000s and only revealed in 2009 after western intelligence agencies exposed its existence. Iran confirmed the site under pressure, but the episode fed suspicions that Tehran was pursuing a covert path to a nuclear weapon.

What happens inside?

At its core, Fordow was a uranium enrichment facility. This means it was not producing bombs or warheads, but spinning centrifuges that increase the concentration of fissile isotopes in uranium.

It was originally meant to enrich uranium up to 20 per cent for the Tehran Research Reactor. But it was enriching uranium to 60 per cent before the US strikes, a level approaching weapons-grade.

It hosted both older IR-1 centrifuges and more advanced IR-6 machines, and was estimated to have 100–200 nuclear engineers, technicians, and support personnel, many trained at elite universities.

What about IAEA access?

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has visited Fordow several times.

Under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA), Iran agreed to suspend enrichment at Fordow and convert the facility to a research centre. The IAEA installed surveillance equipment, and inspectors visited regularly.

But in 2019, Iran resumed enrichment at the site in response to the US withdrawal from the JCPoA. Since 2023, Iran has reduced IAEA access, and in 2024 expelled several senior inspectors.

Do the US strikes risk a radiation leak?

Pete Bryant, honorary professor in physics at the University of Liverpool, told The National that Fordow is a uranium enrichment facility, not a nuclear power plant, and therefore cannot experience a nuclear meltdown of the kind seen at Fukushima in Japan or Chernobyl in Soviet Ukraine.

“It's important to distinguish between nuclear power plants and uranium enrichment facilities, as they are fundamentally different in function, design, and risk,” he said.

“Chernobyl and Fukushima were full-scale nuclear reactor incidents under very specific, high-risk conditions. Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities are not reactors, do not have comparable inventories of radioactive material, and cannot experience similar failures.”

I jedno i drugo. Samo Iranci znaju kolika je šteta.

Tačno, ali dosta ih je protiv. Pa kako onda odrediti šta je volja većine? A vojska evropskih zemalja ne učestvuje u ovim zločinima.

Za terorizam ne treba plenum, a ni previse razmisljanja plus NATO i izjave pojedinih evropskih politicara o "izraelskom obavljanju prljavih poslova za sve ostale"....

Eto opravdanja nekoj budali da proveri da li ga ceka buljuk devica u dzenetu.

Evo jednog vrlo lepog primera kako funkcioniše izraelska propaganda. U tekstu kaže:

Prior to the US attack, estimates were that an attack on Fordow, following Israel having already mostly destroyed Natanz and Isfahan, would push off the nuclear program by a minimum of six months, with many coming in at two years, and some thinking the delay of the Islamic Republic's nuclear threat could even be longer.

Tekst pretpostavlja kako su Natanz i Isfahan uništeni kao usputnu činjenicu, i na osnovu toga gradi druge pretpostavke. Jedini problem sa ovim je što ne postoje baš nikakvi dokazi da je Izrael uspeo i da ozbiljnije ošteti Natanz i Isfahan, a kamoli da ih uništi. Srušena su energetska postrojenja i pomoćni objekti na površini, ali za ispod zemlje se ne zna baš ništa. Dodatno, ako su već bili uništeni ranije, nije baš jasno što su Amerikanci lansirali 30 Tomahavka na njih noćas - čak sam negde pročitao trač da nisu zadovoljni napadom na Isfahan, jer je objekat ukopan više nego što su očekivali, pa Tomahavci nisu naneli nikakvu naročitu štetu (gledaću da pronađem izvor ovog što sam video).

Pa recimo Kipar može biti kritičan, veliki broj arapskih migranata a sada nekontrolisan priliv Izraelaca, može doći do nečega.

Reakcije iz Izraela u fazonu:

Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Sunday also praised the Trump administration, saying: “In the pages of human history, this is a moment when the principles of liberty, responsibility, and security have triumphed. A decisive moment between the axis of terror and evil and the axis of hope.”

“Thank you, Donald Trump. Thank you, United States of America,” Herzog continued. “This brave step serves the security and safety of the entire free world. I hope it will lead to a better future for the Middle East—and help advance the urgent release of our hostages held in captivity in Gaza.”

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz on Sunday hailed Trump’s “historic decision” to destroy the Iranian nuclear sites, calling it “a move aimed at supporting the continuation of Israel’s military operation and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons that could threaten Israel, regional stability, and the national security interests of the United States.”

“The U.S.–Israel alliance is now stronger than ever, serving as a pillar of peace and security for both nations and for the free world,” Katz added.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir tweeted: “God Bless President Trump. God Bless America. God Bless the United States Army. God Bless the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. God Bless the Israel Defense Forces.”

Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer tweeted the “Shehecheyanu,” a Jewish prayer of thanks, recited upon arriving at a significant moment.

“Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the Universe, who has given us life, sustained us, and allowed us to reach this day,” Dermer wrote.

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Sunday congratulated the government and security forces following what he described as a significant moment for the country and global stability.

“This morning, the world is a safer and better place for Israel and for all of humanity,” Smotrich wrote.

He thanked Netanyahu and Dermer for “25 years of determined effort” leading up to the development. He also expressed gratitude to the Israeli security forces, saying: “Thank you to the brave soldiers and commanders of the IDF and all branches of our security forces—on land, in the air, and at sea. Thank you to the incredible people of Israel.”

Finally, Smotrich credited the U.S. administration, saying: “Thank you to President Trump for showing true leadership and unwavering commitment to the State of Israel and to world peace.”

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid tweeted: “Thank you President Trump for your historic decision. Israel, the Middle East and the world are now safer.”

Benny Gantz, head of the opposition National Unity Party and a former War Cabinet minister, expressed appreciation to the Trump administration.

“The historic decision by the United States makes the world, the Middle East and Israel safer places today,” Gantz posted to X.

“I wish to convey to President Trump and the American people my profound appreciation for their leadership, determination and their clear stand with Israel throughout this campaign and tonight particularly against the Iranian regime,” he added.
