Yes, they can destroy objects that are well underground, and if they are too far underground then there are special bombs designed to clear the way for them before they arrive. Despite their chest pounding bravado, the Iranians would be completely defenseless to stop a US attack of any sort.

Agreed. Obama isn't the type to do such a thing, and the Iranians know it. If however they continue to develop nukes, and a crisis ensues, then they will likely have to deal with a Republican in the White House (probably Mitt Romney), at which point they'll be in trouble.
