Once completed, I suspect the US Military is ready to give it a thorough test.

Nothing is bomb proof. Not so - look at the Maginot Line, for example.
Oh. Yeah. Never mind.
To: JackRyanCIA
"Nothing is bomb proof."Exactly. It might take quite a large number of strikes, but eventually you can remove a mountain if need be. Or at least seal it up so absolutely tight that no one can ever get in or out again, or make the whole thing so unstable that it is rendered useless.

When that 20,000 lb penetrator crushes the first 1000 feet of that entry shaft, there will be a lot of lonely Iranian scientists and technicians down below.No doubt. If you can't get in or out the facility won't be of much use. Reopening it could be tough too with missiles dropping in on a random schedule.

I read once that there are nukes that are so accurate that you could,from 5000 miles away,aim one at the pitcher's mound at Yankee Stadium and it would hit somewhere within the stadium.You are right. Our special weapons were very, very , very accurate and the CEP (circular error probability) was dozens of yards.
Read Odom's book "Collapse of the Soviet Military" and they have a chapter dedicated to American nuclear weapons. Soviets knew how damn accurate our missiles were because the monitored the Kwalejewan (sp) test site when they launched ICBMs (Minutemen and MX) from Vandenberg AFB in CA. The MIRV warheads would splash down within YARDS of the floating buoy out in the ocean after travelling 5000 miles.
This is why, if you research American nuclear weapons, why we have 100-400 KT (not more MT devices in inventory after retiring Titan II) warheads and the Russians still retain 1MT "counter value" warheads that are accurate to say, half a mile. Thats still pretty good IMHO. You have to get close to kill a missile silo, and ours are pretty deep, and the Russian one's are even deeper and harder.
Check out www.wikimapia.org. and type in "ICBM" and keep searching for Russian ones. I mapped most of the RUssian ICBM and Topel M fields. Also look at the Typhoons and Delta IV in Nerchipa and Murmansk area. Me and a guy named Jeff at DIA mapped out most Russian Nuclear forces.

Check out Able Archer. We came close to war with the Soviets in 1983. One guy, an equivalent to a Air Force Major stopped the Soviets from launching b/c the missile warning system fouled up when the Soviet satellite detected missile launches when actually, it was picking up high level clouds with the moon in the background.
The Soviet Major was fired for rebooting the missile warning software and not notifying higher. He actually saved both nations when he realized that this MUST be a glitch b/c America would not launch a half-dozen ICBMs.

Bomb-proof nuclear siteIt sounds like they're daring someone to make it a nuclear-proof bomb site.

Since they’re building it with Russia’s help they’d better worry about some strategic failures at inconvenient moments ...

All of your points about the Pershing II certainly apply to the Soviet medium range nukes, which the Pershings were introduced to counter. It was the Soviets that first introduced them, and it was the introduction of the Pershing II that brought the Soviets quickly to the table to get rid of all of them. If you want to call a bluff, you’ve got to throw some chips on the table.
Incidentally, the same capability always applied to the Soviet SSBN’s operating off our coasts.
