The operation, named <strong>Operation Midnight Hammer<\/strong>, involved over <strong>125 aircraft<\/strong>, including <strong>B-2 stealth bombers<\/strong>, and <strong>14 GBU-57 bunker buster bombs<\/strong>. The Pentagon confirmed the strike began at around <strong>5:00 p.m. EST<\/strong> (12:30 a.m. Iran time), with the final missiles hitting targets by <strong>7:05 p.m. EST<\/strong>. President Donald Trump called the attack \u201cvery successful,\u201d claiming Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities were \u201ccompletely and totally obliterated.\u201d However, Iranian officials acknowledged the strikes but denied any significant damage.<\/p>\n<p>According to <strong>General Dan Caine<\/strong>, the operation required <strong>18 hours of flight<\/strong>, with bombers refueling multiple times mid-air. A U.S. <strong>submarine launched over two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles<\/strong> at Esfahan as the main strike package entered Iranian airspace. Decoy aircraft were used to mislead Iranian defenses, while <strong>fourth- and fifth-generation fighter jets<\/strong> cleared the way for the bombers. At <strong>2:10 a.m. local time<\/strong>, the lead B-2 dropped bunker busters on Fordow. In total, <strong>75 precision-guided weapons<\/strong> were used in the attack. Defense Secretary <strong>Pete Hegseth<\/strong> praised the stealth aspect of the mission, though social media users had posted sightings of the bombers. Iran has called the attack \u201cdangerous\u201d and warned of \u201ceverlasting consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Operation Midnight Hammer: US Strikes Iranian Nuclear Sites On Friday night, the U.S. launched a large-scale military operation against Iran, targeting three of its key nuclear facilities\u2014Fordow,&#8230;
