192 massive 2000lb Blu-117 bombs.

Massive?

Get real!

10,000 lbs is just the beginning of bunker buster.

Depends upon how many times you hit the same spot.

Plus, with the various nukes sites dispersed, there are a lot of primaries.

But your baseline comment is correct — a 1 ton BLU is small stuff in the category.

BLU-110s and BLU-117s would not seem to be an answer to Iran, unless Joe Biden is doing the target planning.

Somehow I cannot work out how all of those items will be stuffed in just 10 boxes.

Blu 110 & 117s are the standard penetraters. Yes, you’ll need the big more exotic bombs to get to the stuff that I’ve read underground in Iran...perhaps use B-61 mod 11s. ;-)
