Bunker busters. The current MIRV'ed warhead suite includes inert ballistic penetrators that smash the rock and a follow-on fission-fusion-fission warhead that exploits it. We've got 'em, Russkies got 'em, Brits got 'em, etc. That's how Cheyanne Mountain would get taken out. Replace the depleted uranium with tungsten carbide (so the issue isn't confused) and the mushrooms with conventional explosives and Iran has problems. The missile cost is cheap compared with the possiblity of losing one of those $2bn B-2 bombers.
