It seems rather stupid to me not to have used the bunker busting bombs on the first day of the attack. By waiting, it allowed the Iranians to move the nuclear material out of these deep bunkers, which they did. The only way to have success in this mission would be to completely destroy the Iranians’ ability to build a nuclear bomb. The only way to do that would have been to bomb all of their facilities before they knew the attack was coming. With this attack, you’ve made it impossible to use. Diplomatic means to slow their production of a nuclear warhead. They will move full steam ahead in doing so.
You can't completely destroy anyone's ability to build nuclear weapons - the knowledge how to do it is here. You can't 'unknow' the science behind it. That's the problem.
Another problem is that everytime a non-nuclear-country is attacked, it is an ad for others to spead up their efforts to get nukes.
This is why Ukraine, after giving up the nuclear weapons stored on their territory (Budapester Memorandum), has been invaded and North Korea, barely able to exist on their own, has not..
True, but this bombing, along with the various killings of Iranian nuclear scientists over the years, with two significant killings just this month, does significantly slow down the restoration of their nuclear program. I'm mostly concerned at this point about the immediate expected retaliation(s) as I don't think they are going to roll over. I hope to be wrong and diplomacy will prevail.
