    From all the way this side of the Atlantic, I am quite amazed that Israel has all these bunkers that can keep its people safe in times of war.

    Haven't read anything about whether Iran's people have bunkers to go into, or any casualty numbers from Iran.

    Here in the USA, I don't even know whether there is bunker near me.

        @Axtremus building code here requires every house and apartment to have a secure room or shelter. This has been true since Israel’s founding. Public buildings of course have to have larger areas ready. And every few blocks there r public shelters So here it’s considered normal.

        Although I must say, I remember growing up in New York and seeing signs for fallout shelters

            Not convinced the exiled members of Iran’s Pahlavi dynasty have had or have earned any more influence in present day Iran than the descendants of the Romanovs have had in Russia since the fall of the USSR.

            In fact, I would not put too much on the Iranian people rising up to challenge and oust the Islamic theocrats any time soon. I think that is only wishful thinking on the part of a smattering of a few in the West.

                  She must have deleted the tweet. It was about private planes leaving Tehran with well connected people on them.

                      @jon-nyc said in The Iran Nuclear Program thread:

                      She must have deleted the tweet. It was about private planes leaving Tehran with well connected people on them.

                      Similar things happened in 1979.

                                  Only the B2 can deliver the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) and only the US operates the B2.
