For spy guy, the F-15 can deliver a 5,000 lb GBU 28 bomb. The Iranian air force is not yet where it'd like to be, but sure, the Russian S-300 system is a real beast. But where you fail is over-estimating the common sense of morons like Netanyahu and his newest bosom buddy, Trump, surrounded with Iran haters full of hubris in his so-called 'national security' team. Will leave it here.
"Israel has developed and tested its own bunker buster bomb, that has been described as “a very credible military option,” to use against Iran"
The article is from 2012. Not surprising with the USA dragging its feet delivering the GU 28 to Israel (some sources claim in fact the USA has delivered bunker busters but the Israelis have to work out Saudi cooperation to make the necessary sorties... Bibi is certainly crazy enough)
Kurds are the largest stateless 'minority' in the world, with colonial era borders dividing their majority region between Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran. Certainly the Kurds do and have had a right of self-determination. However the forces in play point to bad luck in its achievement at present; the USA will give lip service to the 'territorial integrity' of Iraq to appease Baghdad and Ankara, even as it will exploit the Kurds in cynical geopolitical machinations on behalf of western multinationals with an eye (in the same moment) to poke Iran with a sharp stick (if only out of habit.)
And, of course, there is always some sort of mafia-like involvement, in this case the KRG's behind the scenes deal with Daesh and Exxon-Mobil where Islamic State oil has been laundered via the pipelines to Turkey in return for certain 'security' assurance for the pipelines themselves.
In the land of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' .. there is always a stage set for a backstabbing next scene -
"It was to protect the anti-regime Turkmen fighters of Turkmen mountain that last fall the Turkish air force shot a Russian fighter jet out of the air"
You lost me right there. It was to drag NATO into posturing and intimidating Russia to cover for Erdogan's now threatened illicit imports of Islamic State oil:

"Israel has not developed any non-nuclear “bunker busting” bombs because it does not have the lift capability to deliver them to Iran"
