“The main left to realize Israel in the war against Iran is to destroy uranium enrichment plants in Fordo, which are deep underground” – emphasized the daily.
The Israeli authorities hoped that US President Donald Trump will send to Fordo bombers carrying deeply penetrating bombs, which could only destroy this object. On Thursday, however, Trump announced that he would abstain with his decision for two weeks.
This delay puts Israel in a difficult situation, because the longer the Trump is waiting for, the more heavily burdened with his air defense. Israel must focus on defending some places at the expense of others, consumes the supply of interception shellsis also measured with the increasing risk of Iranian attacks on civil and strategic facilities – NYT mentioned. War is also a burden for the Israeli economy.
Israel could decide to independently attack the Fordo facility, but according to experts, this would not bring the results expected by the Israeli authorities.

Another solution could be the unilateral ending of the war by Israel and the Fordo's failure, which, however, would involve the survival of a significant part of the Iranian nuclear program, the possibility of building a nuclear bomb by Iran and the use of it against Israel.
According to the statements of representatives of the Israeli authorities, Israel is planning further strikes on Iran in the coming days.
