Update: New Details Confirm Air Force’s Precision During ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’...Newly released Pentagon briefings reveal the inside story of the most ambitious U.S. air operation in decades. Operation Midnight Hammer began with a silent takeoff just after midnight Saturday from Whiteman AFB, Missouri, where seven B-2 Spirit bombers departed on a roughly 37-hour round-trip mission to Iran and back, making it one of the longest stealth strike missions in U.S. history. Each bomber carried two GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators—30,000-lb bunker-busters—marking the first operational use of this weapon.
.
The strike package coordinated with fighters, surveillance aircraft, and tankers—over 125 U.S. aircraft in total. As the B-2s approached Iranian airspace, a U.S. submarine in the region launched more than two dozen Tomahawk missiles targeting the Isfahan site. Simultaneously, fighters cleared the airspace and used deception tactics (including the decoy B-2s flying west toward Guam).
.
At 6:40 p.m. ET, the first MOPs hit Fordo. In the next 25 minutes, all 14 bunker-busters struck Fordo and Natanz. No Iranian air defenses engaged. “Iran’s fighters didn’t fly, and their SAM systems didn’t see us,” said Gen. Dan Caine. “We retained the element of surprise throughout.”
.
Satellite imagery now confirms catastrophic damage to all three sites. Isfahan’s facilities show widespread destruction from Tomahawks, while Natanz and Fordo sustained deep crater damage consistent with bunker-penetrating warheads.
.
President Trump praised the mission as a “spectacular military success” while calling for renewed negotiations—then warned that “far greater” strikes could follow if Iran escalates.....We’ll keep you updated: thevigilantheroes
