In response to the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel, military expert Yuri Knutoov, in an interview, allowed for the possibility of the US using tactical nuclear weapons. According to him, the Americans could deploy the B61-12 bomb to strike Iranian enriched uranium storage facilities if losses among their forces become too high and other action options fail to deliver results.

The expert also drew attention to Israel's nuclear arsenals, which are presumably stored in underground facilities near the city of Dimona. He warned that in the event of further strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Iran could retaliate with more powerful missiles, potentially destroying these storage sites, causing radioactive contamination, and triggering a severe ecological disaster that threatens not only Israel but also neighboring countries.

Furthermore, Knutoov noted that amid increasing reports of drones appearing over the US airbase housing strategic nuclear bombers B-52, the US could use the drone incident as a pretext to accuse Iran of preparing sabotage or a terrorist attack. In his view, such a provocation could serve as grounds for larger-scale military actions, up to and including the use of nuclear weapons. The expert believes the sides have already crossed the "point of no return," and prospects for peaceful resolution are currently absent.

Some bloke who noone else has heard of said something but there's no source for anything and nothing said has any bearing on reality anyway.
