225. I offered evidence not proof
No one has proof, because the research is ongoing. Iran has most likely been consulting with China and Pakistan ... and perhaps even N. Korea. All three of these countries probably are aware at some level of the R&D going on with bunker busters and the true capabilities of such weapons. Iran has probably prepared deeply buried bunkers, since the Bush Administration has been saber rattling Iran for the past five years.

I would also remind you that you were the person that wrote back in response to the animation I provided, claiming it was nothing but supposition without you offering a counter argument to defend such a response.

As I read someone explain on another site, the problems associated with bunker busters is one of scaling up of the mass/kinetic energy of the weapon. So it's not just the penetration, but the material of the weapon doing the penetrating, which at this point would have to be a material made out of unobtainium. Unobtainium doesn't exist, since scientist use the term to refer to something perfect for their needs but cannot find in the real world.
