Iran acquires US ‘bunker-buster’ bomb

In Iran’s Yazd province, an unexploded “bunker-buster” bomb has been safely defused, according to the country’s Tasnim News Agency; the report states that the bomb, dropped during a recent strike, failed to detonate and remained lodged about 13 meters underground beneath a residential area, causing concern among local residents; Iranian officials said the high-risk operation was jointly carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and local bomb disposal teams, and after a lengthy and careful process, the device was successfully neutralized without any accidents; experts note that bunker-buster bombs are designed to penetrate deep into the ground before exploding to destroy fortified underground structures, making unexploded ones extremely dangerous; it is worth mentioning that the United States military has previously used powerful bombs like the GBU-28, which weighs around 5,000 pounds, according to sources.
