#2 They evidently don't realize that original 'bunker busters' in the Gulf War were produced from surplus artillery barrels. The biggest difficulty was working out the weight and balance so the guidance software would understand how to drop it and hit the target. They did this by mimicing a different bomb. Worked on the first try.
The original non explosive test piece is still in the desert floor in Nevada. Drove itself in, and there's no actual need, so they just left it 113ft down in the caleche.

#4 Short of kamikaze flights or 'unchaining Samson', Israel could proceed with causing maximum relative damage to slow the 'Breakout Time' of Iran's bomb, until the Trump has time to assume power, and prey to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to delay Iran in lieu thereof!
