Bunker Busters

I think it's safe to say that I am opposed to any kind of military strike against Iran, including so-called precision bombing. Even so-called "surgical strike" precision bombing results in too many civilian casualties and would very likely lead to a military response from Iran that would only result in even more deaths. But as Diane Feinstein points out in the LA Times, reports have suggested that some people in the administration may be considering the use of "tactical, battlefield nuclear weapons" against Iran. This animation by the Union of Concerned Scientists shows why this is a bad idea (via Crooks and Liars).
