The US successfully carried out its fastest and dangerous military campaign ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’ against Iran. In this operation, three important nuclear bases of Iran were targeted in just 25 minutes. The US Air Force has carried out airstrikes on three nuclear bases located in Fordo, Natan and Isfahan, Iran. The attacks were carried out from 7 stealth B-2 bombers, in which 12 heavy bombs were dropped. This highly confidential military mission consisted of more than 125 aircraft and a special ‘deception’ was also adopted.
What did the American General say?
During the press conference at the White House, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Dan Kane said that 7 stealth B-2 bombers participated in the operation. These bombers dropped 30000 pounds (about 13,608 kg) at Iran’s Fordow and Natanz atomic sites. While Isfahan was attacked with tomahoc cruise missiles.
Mission start and route
American B-2 stealth bombers flew from the airbase in Missouri. This 18 -hour long mission was carried out in a very calm manner. General Dan Kane said that there were 2-2 crew in seven B-2 bombers and the entire mission was done by keeping the communication low, so that the enemy does not even get to know.
How did the attack take place?
The US attack began at 4:10 am on Sunday at Indian time. These B-2 bombers first dropped two big bunker buster bombs on the Fordow nuclear site. Soon after, other B-2 bombers attacked Natanz and Esfahan. All American aircraft had left the Iranian airspace by 4:35 am on Sunday.
These aircraft flew from Missouri Airbase in America, which was the longest B-2 mission flight since the 9/11 attack. According to Can, US attacks on Iran included 14 bunker-bomb bombs, more than 2 dozen tomhoc missiles and more than 125 military aircraft. This is the first example of the US using such ammunition against Iran in the Middle East struggle.
Dodge with ‘decoy’ strategy
According to General Kane, some bombers were sent to the Pacific Ocean intentionally so that Iran could be kept in confusion. It was called a decoy mission and it was only known to a few senior officials.
Trump ordered the attack
The attack took place after US President Donald Trump’s statement in which he said that he would decide in the next two weeks whether the United States will support Israel in attacks on Iran. But two days later, he ordered the attacks from the private house situation room.
‘We kept Ean in confusion till the end’
Kane said that Iran did not attack America while going inside or out. He also said that the Tomahk missile was the last missile attacking Isfahan to ensure that the US could keep Iran confused. He said that we can say that the missile system that caused the air from the surface of Iran could not catch us.
Iran’s nuclear program ended: American Defense Minister
American Defense Minister Pete Hegseth described the operation as a historic success and said that Iran’s nuclear program is now completely destroyed. He said that President Trump has made it clear from the first day that Iran will never be allowed to get nuclear weapons.
