Next Axis of Evil Target: Iran, Part III
Iran tells US nuclear sites cannot be destroyed
TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran warned the United States that its nuclear sites cannot be destroyed by air or missile strikes, as Britain entered the fray by declaring that Tehran is a state sponsor of terrorism.Well thanks for sharing. So you've got a nuclear program for strictly peaceful reasons because you need nuclear reactors for electricity. You need nuclear electric power plants because you don't want to keep using all of that inexpensive oil you have to generate electricity like you have been so far. That makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is that now you're just letting us know that your facilities for your peaceful humanity-loving not-at-all-intended-to-incinerate-Tel-Aviv program are in deep underground hardened bunkers and under population centers. How much you gonna charge per kilowatt-hour?

For what it's worth, a deep underground hardened bunker will not withstand an atomic explosion at surface level within one half mile.
Oven: That's right. And we've been working on smaller tactical nuclear weapons for exactly such targets that minimize collateral damage. Who knows if we already have them or not... But it still puts us (or Israel) in the position of having to kill a lot of civilians -- civilians that are largely (unlike in the Arab world) very pro-America.
