Israel needs US bunker busters to destroy Iranian enrichment facilities
'Some time ago I spoke to an Israeli official and we talked about the fact that Israel would attack Iran at some stage but it could not be done without the United States because as it was put to me all need is one Bomb … that one bomb we now know is this bunker buster bomb,' Mr Uhlmann told Sky News Australia.
'A weapon that can penetrate into enrichment facilities which are buried under a mountain … the Israelis can't get to them because they don't have the plane that can carry it and they don't have weapon that can do it.'

‘False campaign': Israel insists there is ‘no starvation' in Gaza
Israel's embassy in Australia has declared there is no starvation in Gaza despite calls by world leaders for more aid to be allowed into the ravaged strip and reports of surging malnutrition levels among Palestinian civilians. The Israeli embassy also rejected Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's claim that Israel has breached international law in Gaza by curtailing food aid, insisting the nation has complied with its humanitarian obligations since the conflict began 21 months ago. The intervention came as the Israeli military began a limited pause in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza for 10 hours a day and began airdrops to increase the supply of aid to Gazans. Deputy Israeli ambassador Amir Meron told journalists in a briefing on Monday that claims of starvation amounted to Hamas propaganda and relied on 'false pictures' presenting a distorted view of the situation in Gaza. 'We don't recognise any famine or any starvation in the Gaza strip,' Meron said. Loading 'This is a false campaign that is being [led] by Hamas, taking advantage of sick children in order to show a false claim and false presentation of hunger and starvation in the Gaza strip. 'This is not the situation that is happening today, and we are monitoring very carefully the situation in the Gaza strip so we know'. Meron said that Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007 and launched the shock October 7 attacks on Israel that led to an estimated 1200 deaths, was 'deceiving the media, deceiving international organisations, the international community, and it is deceiving its own people'.
