    I’m sure the military has plenty of other options.

    The other option is the GBU-57 bunker buster bombs, which is what they used - but a single bomb like that isn’t capable of reaching deep enough on its own. So they had to use a significant portion of their stockpile to achieve their objective that way.

    The alternative would have been to drop in special forces and have them break into the heavily defended facility the traditional way.
