Conventional bunker busters wont get their sites. The only one that MIGHT is the 30,000 pound bunker buster bomb the US created. Iranian sites are buried deep in rock.

The Americans have the ability to repeatedly hit the same location, so they would work. Israel unfortunately doesn't have the resources to hit more than one or two sites a single time.

And you don't have to destroy the bunker, you can also just mangle the tunnel and all the rock above it. I don't think it's that easy to build deep tunnels in gravel.

Also the psychological effects of the US showing they know exactly where the facilities are would probably cause them to panic and try to move facilities elsewhere, which takes a while.
