The video reveals nothing on the penetration capacity of this new bomb. Two layers of what looks like 1 m or so concrete, with empty space betwene them, in no way compare to 65 m of dense armoured material like steel concrete, solid mountain rock, or anything like that.

And the comment also said something that rang my alarm, their remark that the bomb was announced one week after the latest report about Iran hiding new facilities in mountains. It sounds as if the author of this anouncement wanted to disarm any alarm calls and any words of warning over Iran making its program invulnerable: "See, they can run, but they cannot hide from our new superbomb. No need to attack right now. We still have time left."

Penetrating 65 m of massive concrete or mountain rock, geez, come to your sense, try tio imagine that! I think it is a massive propaganda stunt designed to avoid a conclusion that Iran either is allowed to become invulnerable with its program or needs to be struck right now. Obama certainbly wants now war against Iran right now, before being reelected. But the Israelis maybe cannot wait that long anymore. Obama's detemnrination on Iran I question since very long, and that the West imo is more or less openly anti-Israel anyway.

I fear that the dislike for needing to wage war on Iran will determine the issue in favour of Iran, and that the decision to arrange oneself with a nuclear race in the ME and with a nuclear armed Iran already has been made.

And Obama's words?

Words - that is air in motion.

I do not trust him, not after his foolish Cairo-speech at the latest.

In case these bombs are as effective as claimed, I only hope that Obama allows them to be delivered to Israel, like Israel has put an order for them just recently. If he does not, then we can safely assume that Obama will protect Iran from Western strikes, no matter what his motives are. And that he is accepting a nuclear armed Iran and a nuclear race in the ME with all the risks involved.
