Why wouldn't I ran just put reactive armor on the side of the mountain where their bonkers are to stop any bunker buster missile just like tanks do?

If you don't know what reactive armor is it's basically explosive that is strapped to the side of a tank so that when a missile that's going to hit the tank and would normally penetrate metal armor hits the reactive armor the explosion from the reactive armor explodes the missile before it gets to penetrate the armor.

So everybody's talking about this big bunker buster bomb that we the US has that only we can apparently drop because it's so heavy and it can penetrate 200 ft of Earth and I'm thinking to myself why the hell wouldn't they Iranians just put explosives on the side of the mountain so that the explosions blow the bunker buster bomb to bits long before it has any chance to penetrate the Earth at all

Just like a tank

Because the Iranian regime was installed by the CIA and all Iranian security forces are infiltrated by Mossad and this is all publicly available information.

The entire conflict is fake.

The war is on free energy and Iran is made an example of on the world WWE stage so that no one frees themselves from the energy cartel.

Nuclear power is cheaper and safer than ever, but costs keep going up.

On the whole mountain? The short answer is it would be too expensive to cover a whole mountain with explosives thick enough to affect that bomb.

Bunker busters are pretty tough so that they can penetrate 50-200ft and still function. Reactive armor wouldn’t scratch them. The GBU-57 MOP bomb is the only munition that can penetrate that deep and only the B-2 can carry them. The Fordow nuclear centrifuge facility in Iran is too deep. It’s been suggested that multiple low yield nuclear warheads would be necessary to destroy it. Bunker busters were ruled out.
