The US military did not use bunker buster bombs to attack Iran's nuclear facility in Isfahan, ostensibly because they were ineffective at the depth at which the facility is located.
This was stated by the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Kaine, CNN writes.
Did the US Use Bunker Busters to Strike Iran?
As noted in the publication, the US military hit the nuclear facility in Isfahan with Tomahawk missiles. At the same time, they tried to attack the facilities in Fordow and Natanz with B2 bunker buster bombs.

US Senator Chris Murphy claims that some of Iran's capabilities are located so deep underground that the US will never be able to reach them.
“They have the ability to move a significant portion of what was salvaged to areas where there is no American bombing capability that can reach them,” he said.
The US attacks reportedly damaged infrastructure at all three of Iran's nuclear sites. But the enriched uranium remained intact, leaving the country free to return to its nuclear program if the necessary infrastructure is restored.
Congressman Michael McCaul believes the United States must make a full inventory of the uranium that remains in Iran.
That's why Iran must sit down directly with the United States, he said, so the International Atomic Energy Agency can account for every ounce of enriched uranium.
The IAEA recently confirmed that an Israeli attack in Isfahan hit a facility producing uranium enrichment centrifuges.
However, the attack on the Isfahan facility did not cause any radiation effects, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said.
