Gottheimer, Lawler Present Bill to Send Bunker-Buster Bombs to Israel
- On Wednesday, Representatives Josh Gottheimer and Mike Lawler put forward the Bunker Buster Act, a bill that would authorize the transfer of B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs to Israel.
- This bill follows recent U.S. airstrikes in late June against Iran's nuclear sites and aims to respond if Iran resumes rebuilding its nuclear supply.
- The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a type of bunker-busting bomb, is capable of reaching depths of up to 200 feet underground, making it effective against Iran's deeply concealed nuclear sites.
- IAEA Director Rafael Grossi warned that Iran could restart uranium enrichment within months, stating, "The capacities they have are there".
- If enacted, the legislation would allow unprecedented U.S.-Israel military cooperation, enabling Israel to defend itself independently against Iran's nuclear threat.
