Israel: We Are At War

[Josh128]

Like @brycejones posted, the 300 ft necessary for the main corridors was public knowledge. Heck, here is an article from several days before the attack. https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/middleeast/iran-fordow-nuclear-site-latam-hnk-intl "Its main halls are an estimated 80 to 90 meters (around 262 to 295 feet) beneath the ground"

Or there is this even earlier article, that puts them up to 360 feet below ground. https://www.csis.org/analysis/three-things-will-determine-irans-nuclear-future-fordow-just-one-them "Fordow is believed to be buried 80–110 meters underground, near Qom, and was built to withstand airstrikes."

Here is an article from 3.5 years ago: https://apnews.com/article/europe-m...iran-nuclear-dd40e4a610c2f35aff25353bbcf3a91c "But burying the facility under some 80 meters (260 feet) of dirt and rock while not informing international inspectors as required only heightened Western concerns."

Basically, to answer your question, how do I have better info? For starters, I can read.

Then, according to my Persian coworkers, triple that depth for the deepest corridors. Take their comments with a grain of salt though, since that could very well be internal Iranian TV propaganda.

US and Israeli intelligence do a lot more than just "read", before they decide to fly a several hundred million dollar top secret mission around the world.

Yes they are unbelievably awesome at their jobs, it’s why the Israelis were blindsided by October 7th, and we found so many WMDs in Iraq in 2003. As just a couple of examples.

Earlier I posted a story from NPR that raises questions about how deep the MOP can actually penetrate rock like the site they were used at.

To be honest though it will be a long time before we definitively know one way or the other.

I doubt Iran knows yet.

Per NYT, Khamenei hasn’t been seen in almost a week.

For some humor in your discussion

Exactly, they also listen to a man with no knowledge or evidence but he proclaims to know the truth.

And heres one from today thats directly from the CIA, opposing your incorrect take and unofficial "leak".

Intel leaders say new intelligence shows Iran's nuclear sites could take "years" to rebuild

The CIA director says "credible intelligence" indicates Iran's nuclear program was "severely damaged."

You actually believe Trump's hand picked sycophants? lol, silly boy.

I think he's too young to remember the lead up to the Iraq war and how stellar US and Israeli intel were on that. Regardless of that, any intel services (most of all the Israelis) routinely use disinformation to influence events in line with the policies of the ruling govt at the time.
