I don't doubt they've been ordered to plan something like this. That's what units like that do, plan for contingencies. But Israeli special forces would be the ones to actually take risks like that.
There's a lot of talk that an operation like that could only be done by ground troops- it may be buried under too much rock even for B-2s. |

Date: June 14th, 2025 5:36 PM Author: Rusted Dilemma It's a mountain facility, so if the only ingress and egress is through easily-defensible mountain roads then I can see a large special forces group supported by F-35s etc taking and holding it for as long as it takes to destroy it.
Iran probably didn't plan for special forces assaulting it when they designed it, and I've seen several reports that Israel's plan for the facility is to use special forces if they have to do it alone. If they think the survival of Israel is at stake then it makes sense to take the risk. |

Date: June 14th, 2025 6:53 PM Author: alcoholic heady senate mood how are they going to reliably insert and extract SF units when all of Iran is alert now to this exact possibility. there's probably multiple units at Fordow and Natanz ready to repel any SF shenanigans (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5737874&forum_id=2...id.#49016065) |

Date: June 14th, 2025 6:59 PM Author: Rusted Dilemma Use the 25,000 lb bunker busters from B-2s first and then assault. It all depends on the layout of the facility, ingress/egress, etc whether an assault is feasible, but Israel apparently thinks it is.

Date: June 14th, 2025 7:01 PM Author: alcoholic heady senate mood Iran could situate numerous QRFs around them. A battalion sized force (shit, prob even a company) can over-run any typical SF element.
Unless you saturation bomb the shit out of the entire area--Operation Linebacker style--any SF insertion would be extremely risky |

Date: June 15th, 2025 1:23 PM Author: claret public bath I don't think Iran has air defense left so maybe an entire brigade could be dropped within 24 hours at the site. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5737874&forum_id=2...id.#49017627) |

Date: June 15th, 2025 11:41 PM Author: gaped plaza Dropping nukes into the ground immediately before you send in troops is not cr. That's only really viable if they do air burst rounds or use <20kt yields, and even 20kt at ground level is going to make it risky to enter the area for at least 12 hours. If you want to keep the earth clean, you don't want to send an enormous cloud of dirt and sand into the mushroom cloud and let it mix with all the isotopes being formed up there. You want to do air bursts that don't kick up any sand. But air bursts won't penetrate the earf, oh well... (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5737874&forum_id=2...id.#49019250) |

Date: June 15th, 2025 11:51 PM Author: gaped plaza PS you'll also have to ensure any operators are far enough away that they face no risk of their environment becoming contaminated, even by accident (since you don't know what the fuck is actually going to happen when you drop this nuke without knowing what's underground). If Russia drops a tac nuke on Ukraine, and Russian troops 10km away detect more radiation than they were expecting, they can just haul ass out of there, find a bunker that's not radioactive, and wait 12 hours. But if you air drop 30 men into the middle of Iran, and they need to find new accomodations on the fly, it's not like they can just check hotel rates at the city next door.

Any mistake would be disastrous, as this shows |

Date: June 15th, 2025 11:45 PM Author: gaped plaza Imagine calling the parents of a Delta Force operator to inform them their son died for Israel. I think Trump himself should have to make the call. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5737874&forum_id=2...id.#49019255) |

Date: June 15th, 2025 11:38 PM Author: gaped plaza Looks like someone inside Delta Force is leaking to the media, putting the entire operation at risk, virtually ensuring it will fail if Trump is stupid enough to order it.
