The bunker buster bombs were made for Fordow, so they bombed Fordow with them, and talked Fordow, Fordow, Fordow, "obliteration", blah blah blah.
Military-industrial complex, rinse and repeat.
Meanwhile the threat remains, and the not serious people remain in charge.

New U.S. assessment finds American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites
WASHINGTON — One of the three nuclear enrichment sites in Iran struck
by the United States last month was mostly destroyed, setting work
there back significantly. But the two others were not as badly damaged
and may have been degraded only to a point where nuclear enrichment
could resume in the next several months if Iran wants it to, according
to a recent U.S. assessment of the destruction caused by the military
operation, five current and former U.S. officials familiar with the
assessment told NBC News. ...
U.S. officials believe the attack on Fordo, which has long been
viewed as a critical component of Iran’s nuclear ambitions, was
successful in setting back Iranian enrichment capabilities at that site
by as much as two years, according to two of the current officials.
Much of the administration’s public messaging about the strikes has focused on Fordo. ...
U.S. officials knew before the airstrikes that Iran had structures
and enriched uranium at Natanz and Isfahan that were likely to be beyond
the reach of even America’s 30,000-pound GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs,
three of the sources said. Those bombs, which had never been used in
combat before the strikes, were designed with the deeply buried
facilities carved into the side of a mountain at Fordo in mind.
As early as 2023,
though, there were indications that Iran was digging tunnels at Natanz
that were below where the GBU-57 could reach. There are also tunnels
deep underground at Isfahan. The United States hit surface targets at
Isfahan with Tomahawk missiles and did not drop GBU-57s there, but it
did use them at Natanz. ...
Trump was briefed on the so-called all-in plan, but it was rejected
ultimately because it would have required a sustained period of
conflict. ...
Before the June airstrikes, the regime had enough fissile material for
about nine to 10 bombs, according to U.S. officials and United Nations
inspectors. ...
