Lawmakers push to send bunker-busting bombs to Israel
The bill would require the Pentagon to consult with Israel and report to Congress on its ability to deter "a full range of threats."

A pair of lawmakers is readying legislation that would pave the way for the U.S. to provide Israel with bunker-busting bombs that could strike Iran's underground nuclear facilities.

The legislation, offered by Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Brian Mast (R-Fla.), would make it possible to transfer the 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrator to Israel as a defense against Iran if Tehran pursues nuclear weapons.

Gottheimer, on a conference call with reporters Tuesday, said the legislation would "shore up Israel's qualitative military edge" in the Middle East.

The bill would require the Pentagon to consult with Israel and report to Congress on its ability to deter "a full range of threats" including whether the U.S. providing bunker-buster munitions would advance U.S. and Israeli security.

"There should be absolutely no doubt that our ally Israel must be prepared for every contingency if Iran seeks ... a nuclear weapon," Gottheimer said.

The news of the legislation was first reported by Jewish Insider.
