Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has revealed that unexploded U.S. GBU-57 “bunker-buster” bombs remain trapped inside Iran’s damaged nuclear sites following the intense 12-day war with Israel. The shocking disclosure highlights a dangerous legacy of deep-strike warfare, raising fears of accidental detonation, radiological exposure, and long-term safety risks around sensitive nuclear infrastructure. Analysts warn that undetonated American bombs could also become an intelligence windfall for Tehran, potentially allowing Iran to study advanced U.S. penetration engineering, guidance systems, and warhead design. If recovered intact, the weapons could accelerate Iran’s indigenous missile development and improve its own bunker-busting capabilities.
