‘Red Lines’

Wonder whether the UK and France also assisted or whether Israel only has the US left as ally now?
I am wondering:
– How much damage Israel has actually done, or will be able to do, to Iran’s nuclear program. If Iran wasn’t working intently on nuclear weapons before, it certainly will be now. It’s been my impression that Israel lacks the ordnance to penetrate the Natanz and especially Fordow underground facilities. Will Trump give Israel the MOP bombs, can Israel deliver them, and are they even capable of penetrating Fordow?
– How Israel will stop Iran from rebuilding its nuclear program. New centrifuges can be built, facilities buried even deeper, if there is the required will and resources. Or will current events be repeated every few years?
– When Iran’s crossing of Israel’s so-called “red line” leads to Israel targeting Iran’s oil facilities, and will that be just sending a message, or will Iran be out of the oil producing business?
Ah I see Israel has started striking Iran’s nat gas refineries – those are used for domestic power.
