Operation Midnight Hammer: The Surprise Strike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities

  • On early Sunday morning, the US military launched Operation Midnight Hammer, striking Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites from Missouri and submarines nearby.
  • The operation followed months of preparation to ensure readiness and relied on stealth bombers, submarines, and over 125 aircraft for a surprise, highly coordinated strike.
  • Six B-2 Spirit bombers flew 18 hours undetected, dropping 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, while submarines launched about 30 Tomahawk missiles at the targets.
  • General Dan Caine reported the attack caused severe, extensive damage with no Iranian counterattacks detected, and President Trump claimed the nuclear program was devastated.
  • Gulf states heightened alert amid uncertain Iranian retaliation risks, with US officials warning of further strikes if Iran resumes nuclear activity or attacks US interests.
