Trump will bomb the Iranian nuclear sites directly, involving the US directly in the Iran war.

Trump will GIVE the bunker buster bombs to Israel, and LOAN them the B52's, making THEM responsible.

The bunker busters will be ineffective...so...moot point.

Trump will NOT give our bunker busters to Israel.

Other....please elucidate.

Iranian nuclear enrichment sites are located at 300 feet below ground underneath dolomite and other strong natural rock formations.

Bunker buster bombs have only been tested as effective at 200 feet below the ground.

The Israelis have already bombed the sites...and to what depth or extent the rock structure has been destroyed by them is unknown.

Should Trump GIVE Israel the bunker buster bombs? Or should he fly them directly to the Iranian Nuclear sites in the B52 stealth bombers, which are the only bombers strong enough to carry these heavy bombs?

Is Trump about to involve the United States directly in a war with Iran?

The checklist for the war seemed to follow this pattern:
1. Eliminate Ayatollah Khomeini.
2. Bring down the current regime.
3. Install a puppet democratic Govt. more aligned with U.S. interests.
4. Dismantle Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

.....right out of the CIA playlist.

@Renkon The fly in the ointment in your list is the line about a puppet government. That hasn’t worked worked in the past and has come to be like a surrender following a win. What has to happen after the overthrow is a caretaker government that will manage the country so that the population soon realizes how much better off they are than they were before.

Turning over Iran to an election too soon would sent Iran back to square one. Isn’t that what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan? A puppet government from within would be to replace what’s there now with their less popular opponents. I think we had good models fo caretaker governments in Germany and Japan following WW2.

@Renkon @Heartlander We are hearing a lot on the news lately from the SON of the former Shah of Iran.
