Israel’s commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons remains unwavering. The country’s advanced air force and historical operational record suggest it possesses the capabilities to target Iran's above-ground nuclear sites independently.

Destroying such facilities would require heavy bombs, possibly necessitating US assistance with specialized ordnance like bunker busters and strategic bombers.
