The Associated Press, September 15, 2008 – The U.S. has agreed to sell 1,000 buster-bunker bombs to Israel – a deal that could significantly improve Israel’s ability to strike at Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Military experts say an Israeli strike would require bombs that could blast through underground bunkers where some of the Iranian nuclear facilities are located.
Last week, the U.S. Defense Department notified Congress that it has agreed to sell Israel small diameter bombs that are capable of doing that.
