I am not absolutely sure Markus but I think the US recently equipped the Israelis with a new F-15 variant that could carry an extra large bomb for bunker busting.

USS McFaul (DDG-74) According to the U.S. Navy, on 5 July 2023, McFaul interrupted and prevented the attempted seizure of two commercial tankers in the Gulf of Oman. In two incidents, three hours apart, Iranian naval vessels closed on the tankers — and, in the second incident, fired upon the tanker. In both cases, the Iranian vessels departed the scene upon the arrival of McFaul. The Navy released aerial video of the incidents. Iran's government did not immediately comment on the incident. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_McFaul VIDEO: Iranian Navy Warship Fires on Oil Tanker in the Strait of Hormuz https://news.usni.org/2023/07/05/vid...rait-of-hormuz The US says since 2021, Iran has 'harassed, attacked or seized 20 internationally flagged merchant vessels' around the Strait of Hormuz, a key transit hub in the global energy market [Al Jazeera] https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/...ze-oil-tankers

These videos you have posted gave me a recall of the 1984 movie Countdown to Looking Glass.
What we need now is Russia send a sub or two into the Hormuz. Markus
