Israel's escalating conflict with Iran over its increased nuclear as brought up speculation about the possible use of one of America's powerful weapons in the conflict.

Only the U.S. military has the 30,000-pound bomb capable of reaching the facility and the bomber that can carry it.

The U.S. is considering targeting Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, five sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.

The president is now openly threatening Iran and reportedly seriously considering committing U.S. forces to Israel’s attack. Here’s the latest.

National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi says he does not know if the US will participate in the operation in Iran, but 'the plan is blue and white, including all elements of the offensive.'

The International Atomic Energy Agency had initially said that the Friday attack had destroyed the aboveground part of the Natanz fuel enrichment plant, but its latest statement indicates more significant damage.

President Donald Trump in about eight hours went from suggesting a nuclear deal with Iran remained “achievable” to urging Tehran’s 9.5 million residents to flee for their lives as he cut short his visit to an international summit to return to Washington for urgent talks with his national security team.

Fordo is Iran's extremely fortified underground nuclear facility, built inside a mountain to protect it from air attacks. It plays a key role in enriching uranium, which, according to the IAEA, has reached a level of 83.7% in 2023 - almost the threshold for nuclear weapons.
