In a stunning show of military stealth and precision, the United States has revealed details of a covert operation targeting Iran’s most fortified nuclear facilities.
The mission, codenamed “Operation Midnight Hammer,” involved seven B-2 stealth bombers flying undetected across continents in what experts are calling one of the most advanced airstrike operations in recent U.S. history.
According to a Pentagon briefing reported by the BBC, the mission began at 00:01 EDT as B-2 bombers launched from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. The jets, equipped with bunker-busting bombs capable of penetrating over 60 feet of concrete, were tasked with hitting sites like Fordo — Iran’s heavily fortified underground nuclear enrichment facility buried beneath a mountain.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated, “American bombers went in and out and back without the world knowing at all,” revealing that the mission included decoy deployments toward Guam to distract global intelligence from the real operation over the Atlantic.
General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, outlined the 18-hour round-trip flight, which included multiple mid-air refuels and extreme coordination. The bombs deployed are believed to be part of the U.S.'s exclusive deep-penetration arsenal — technology unmatched by any other nation.
Although the extent of the destruction is still unconfirmed, the strategic strike marks a new era in U.S. military capability and could have significant implications for international diplomacy, particularly as tensions rise across the Middle East.
