U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Don't think the C-130s can fly high enough with a single 30,000lb bomb. The graphic at bbc site show it would be dropped from about 12km (~40,000 ft) in order to gain the speed needed to drive it some 60m underground.

From 40,000 feet, the bomb would take ~ 50 seconds to fall and would impact at mach 1.5.
