Iran's IRGC says it salvaged US GBU-57 bunker buster bombs

Original: Iran's IRGC reported that they had managed to salvage multiple American GBU-57 bunker buster bombs dropped on itaniaytar

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps says it recovered multiple American GBU-57 bunker buster bombs dropped on Iranian targets, claiming it salvaged the bombs' electronics and guidance systems for reverse engineering, with the metal components handed over separately. If accurate, the claim would give Iranian engineers rare access to one of the most advanced US munitions, following the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Why now: The reported salvage of US GBU-57 bombs follows recent American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, raising concerns about sensitive US weapons technology falling into Iranian hands.
