    I don’t think they need to be particularly targeted, any part of the processing facility that is damaged is going to stop production until fixed.

      Well, there can be some redundancy, and some parts are harder to replace than others. Just going off of of what I know, I’d target a big pipe or the heating/cooling systems. A distillation tower or chemical reactor could be redirected around.

      They have to be targeted. They wouldn’t shut the whole facility down if the bomb landed in the remote employee parking lot.

      But I don’t see that it’s likely that Iran wouldn’t target their strikes. They clearly have the capability. Hit the targets that maximize disruption.
