US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday (June 5) that America won't let Iran get nuclear weapons, reiterating the Biden administration's firm stance against Tehran

Well Iran is very much determined on developing their own nukes-So what can USA do ?

Bomb them back to stone age ?

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.

Quote:

GBU-57, called Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), was developed in early 2000 and is the most potent bunker-busting weapon.

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

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.
