The IDF on Tuesday said that it has a ready plan for striking Iran's underground Fordow nuclear facility the moment that the political echelon gives the order.
Until now, IDF officials have been evasive when asked about when they would attack Fordow, though there were a few open denials that the IDF had already attacked Fordow, when such false reports came out over the weekend.
Fordow is the most important Iranian nuclear facility, which the IDF has not yet touched, but it poses unique challenges, as it lies underneath a mountain.
Since the IDF lacks a mega 30,000 bunker buster bomb, which the US possesses, Israel has been trying to convince Washington to take out the facility.
However, despite lacking that bomb, the air force has other techniques for damaging or causing cave-ins at Fordow, such as repeatedly dropping 5,000-pound or 2,000-pound bombs over and over again in the same spots.
IDF may finish eliminating most important nuclear sites
Besides Fordow, the IDF said that it may finish eliminating the most important Iranian nuclear sites within one more week.
The IDF divided Iran's nuclear program into three sets of targets: scientists, enrichment facilities, and other nuclear tasks and command facilities.
To date, the IDF has hit dozens of nuclear sites, including the large facilities at Natanz and Isfahan, two of the most prominent facilities besides Fordow.
