Overview

  • Pentagon released official video showing seven B-2 Spirit bombers departing Whiteman Air Force Base and returning after the strike mission.
  • Seven B-2s flew east undetected for 18 hours with minimal communications and mid-air refuelings while decoy bombers and fighter escorts preserved surprise.
  • B-2s dropped 14 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators on the Fordow and Natanz nuclear sites as a US submarine fired over two dozen Tomahawk missiles at Isfahan.
  • Initial Pentagon assessments describe "extremely severe damage" at all three Iranian facilities while the IAEA assesses underground destruction.
  • Iran responded with ballistic missile attacks on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and US forces in the region have been placed on heightened alert.
