(SF novel) East of Nakba (28)

Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran (25)

Chapter 7 Aerial bombing against Natanz nuclear plant (3) Bunker Buster (2/2)

Finally, a bunker buster and an ultimate missile were remained unlaunched inside the fighter of “Abdullah”. The ultimate missile had a destructive power far exceeding that of the bunker buster. It planned to be launched only if the attack by bunker buster failed in destroying the enemy's facilities. There was no doubt that the ultimate missile would completely destroy the facility once it was exploded. It meant the total death of the people working in the facility. It was inevitable that the surrounding area would be also seriously damaged for a long time. The damage would be caused by radioactive contamination. It was a missile equipped with a small nuclear warhead.

The compact nuclear missile was developed as a pinpoint bomb by Israel. Nuclear warheads had been stored in deep underground at unknown place in Israel. Once Israel used its nuclear missiles for Natanz airstrike, it would raise an international issue. But Israel government might insist that the radioactive contamination was due to nuclear material in Natanz plant. In addition, Israel might insist that it was the clear evidence that Iran enriched uranium. Israel was always good at eloquence and sophistries.
