Attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, US reveals arsenal used in Operation
Dan Caine

The US military operation against Iran on Saturday, codenamed "Operation Midnight Hammer," was carried out with more than 125 aircraft.

 A deception tactic was also used, involving the deployment of bombers over the Pacific as a distraction. Details of the operation were revealed to reporters on Sunday by the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine.

The unprecedented operation involved seven B-2 bombers. These bombers dropped more than 20 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs weighing 13,600 kg each on two Iranian nuclear targets, Fordow and Natanz, according to Caine. Tomahawk missiles were also launched towards Isfahan.

In total, more than 125 aircraft participated, including B-2 bombers, aerial refueling tankers, reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets. The strikes on Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan began at 6:40 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) and the planes were out of Iranian airspace by 7:00 p.m. ET, Caine added.

Taking off from an air base in Missouri, this was the longest mission of B-2 bombers since the September 11 attacks, he said.

Dozens of Tomahawk missiles were also launched at other targets inside Iran as part of the operation, Caine said.

“At midnight Friday into Saturday, a large group of B-2 bombers took off from the continental United States,” Caine said. “As part of a plan to maintain tactical surprise, part of the group headed west toward the Pacific as a distraction, a deception effort known only to a very limited number of key planners and leaders in Washington and Tampa. The main strike group, consisting of seven B-2 Spirit bombers, each with two crew members, headed east with minimal communication,” he added.

Caine added that a total of 16 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators were dropped, two from B-2s at Fordow and 14 from other bombers at two other bases. The planes then began their journey home, without receiving any strikes from Iran.
