What US typically discloses in the press regarding sensitive matters is very limited in details.
Here are some hints for you:
HINT 1: “It has great capability now and we are continuing to make it better. It is part of our arsenal and it will be a potential if we need it in that kind of scenario,” said Lt. Gen. Carlisle at a US defense conference on Thursday.
HINT 2: The weapon, known as “the massive ordnance penetrator”, is capable of smashing through 65 meters of reinforced concrete before detonating its target.
Do not assume that they are telling you guys everything and that too in magazines.
Again, I've spent time on this, you haven't and you're refusing to take a time out to educate yourself.
"reinforced concrete" is regular concrete with metal bars running through it. A mop can go through 60 meters and more of that with ease.
But it can only go 8 meters into concrete that is just twice as strong.
UHPC concrete is many times stronger than regular reinforced concrete so even the 8 meters figure is very unlikely.
FORDO is under 10 meters of UHPC concrete and inside of a mountain. There are also 20 MOPS to go around in total for all of Iran. You do the math.
