On Sunday the Pentagon revealed new details of its secret "Operation Midnight Hammer" attack on Iran's nuclear sites.
Here are the key details:
- The Pentagon says at 2:10am local time, the lead B-2 bomber dropped 2 GBU-57 bunker buster bombs on the first aim point at Fordo.
- 14 total massive ordinance penetrators were dropped on Iranian targets, followed by Tomahawk missiles.
- It was the largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history.
- 75 precision guided weapons were used during the operation.
- More than 125 U.S. military aircraft took part in the mission.
- The Pentagon says it deployed several deception tactics over Iran as it moved to strike nuclear facilities.
- The U.S. is unaware of any shots fired by Iran at U.S. warplanes on their way into Iran's airspace.
- Iran's surface-to-air systems did not see the U.S. planes throughout the mission.
- The initial assessment indicates all three nuclear sites sustained extreme damage and destruction.
The Pentagon reports U.S. forces in the region remain on high-alert.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says "This mission was not, and has not, been about regime change."
The top U.S. general warns any Iranian retaliatory strikes would be a "poor choice."
