I spoke about this a little bit on my personal account, so I'll try to this quick. If you're trying to figure out why Trump hasn't *already* declared the attack on Iran he so clearly desires to order, recent news that taking out Iran's nuclear facilities won't be a simple as a short B2 bombing run with bunker buster bombs, may provide a clue.

Trump caution on Iran strike linked to doubts over ‘bunker buster’ bomb, officials say
"But the defense officials who received the briefing were told that using conventional bombs, even as part of a wider strike package of several GBU-57s, would not penetrate deep enough underground and that it would only do enough damage to collapse tunnels and bury it under rubble.
Those in the briefing heard that completely destroying Fordow, which Israeli intelligence estimates to go down as far as 300ft (90 metres), would require the US to soften the ground with conventional bombs and then ultimately drop a tactical nuclear bomb from a B2 bomber to wipe out the entire facility, a scenario Trump is not considering.
The assessments were made by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), a component of the defense department that tested the GBU-57, as it reviewed the limitations of US military ordinance against a number of underground facilities."
In some respects, this Guardian piece is exactly the type of war porn imperialist marketing garbage I don't believe should be printed in public newspapers, but I'm sharing it here because it tells us a lot about the nature of the war Trump is considering launching, and the conduct of our "ally" Israel, who just started a war with Iran they can't "win" without us. The background you need to understand here is that Israeli PM wants Trump to use "bunker busting" bombs only the United States has, to destroy an underground Iranian nuclear facility built into the side of a mountain, called Fordow. Launching such a strike would of course immediately result in the US being *officially* at war with Iran, but it likely appeals to the Swine Emperor because it does not involve the deployment of ground troops or tactical nuclear weapons we shouldn't ever use under any circumstances.
Netanyahu has assured Trump that American B2 bombers dropping bunker buster bombs will destroy Iran's nuclear program entirely, and so have all the anti-Iran warpigs in Trump's government or personal orbit. There's just one problem: it's almost certainly not true. The US military says the GBU-57 bomb (the bunker buster) can penetrate depths up to 60 meters; Israeli intelligence openly says the Iranian facility at Fordow goes as deep as 90 meters (a meter is kinda like a yard, in American.) It also sounds like we have no idea how dropping it on the side of the mountain will affect the results of a bombing run on Fordow, but it doesn't sound like it'll be good. Furthermore, according to at least one military expert, it's not even clean dropping bunker busters would actually set the (nonexistent if our intelligence agencies are to be believed) Iranian nuclear weapons program back all that much.
"It would not be a one and done,” a former Dtra deputy director, retired Maj Gen Randy Manner, said of the GBU-57’s limitations, adding that Fordow could be quickly rebuilt. “It might set the program back six months to a year. It sounds good for TV but it’s not real.”
I don't know about you, but literally nothing about "dropping a tactical nuke" sounds like a good idea to me, and this whole thing sure seems like a well-crafted scheme to use American troops on the ground in Iran to topple a regime Christian nationalists in the Trump administration, a bipartisan swathe of US warhawks, and the Israeli government have wanted to take out for decades. Given the access to intelligence that everyone involved here has, from Netanyahu to guys like Tom Cotton, I'm pretty sure the shitty math behind a bombing run on Fordow is not news to them, but they're encouraging Trump to give it a try anyway. I'm not a mind reader, but it sure does seem like the anti-Iran wing of the Trump regime, and the government of Israel are trying to walk Trump into a forever war against Iran on purpose, by promising our absolutely moronic fascist president a quick and easy victory that casts him as *the* hero for the Pig Empire.
Folks, I can't stress this enough: Iran is not building nuclear weapons. The Kelpto Kaiser's own DNI Tulsi Gabbard recently reported as much and that Iran is at least three years away from being able to do so if the government decides to give it a try. There is absolutely no valid reason for Trump to bomb Fordow, but the fact that doing so is on paper a fool's errand speaks strongly to what these bloodthirsty warpigs are trying to walk you and your kids into as we speak. After all, it won't be Barron Trump getting drafted.
