Also centrifuges are delicate if they are running, I don't think them being in a stored position makes them delicate.

They certainly are finely crafted, but if they're not spinning I would imagine they can be "packed" into a storage/shippable state. What makes them so vulnerable while spinning is that they spin at >50,000 RPM and the smallest bump can send all that kinetic energy out of control. 

Given the degree of saber rattling leading up to this attack I would be shocked if Iran had em spun up. No doubt getting bombed is not great for high grade technical equipment, but once they're that far up the enrichment cascade it doesn't take as many centrifuges to get to bomb grade so they could probably lose a few without severely setting things back.

Oh, I don't think we were necessarily aiming for a vent shaft or anything like that. But we were definitely aiming to have each pair of bombs follow the other to maximize the overall penetration.
