In a meticulously planned strike dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, U.S. forces executed a surprise attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, utilizing B-2 stealth bombers and cruise missiles. The operation involved deceptive tactics to mislead Iran about the imminent assault, ensuring that it took place with minimal detection. U.S. officials claimed the strike significantly crippled Iran's nuclear ambitions, while Iran denied any substantial damage and promised retaliation. The operation followed a series of Israeli attacks that weakened Iran's defense capabilities, enhancing the surprise and effectiveness of the U.S. action.
"Dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer, U.S. officials characterized it as a 'precision strike' that 'devastated the Iranian nuclear program,' even as an assessment was ongoing."
"U.S. officials said Iran neither detected the inbound fusillade, nor mustered a shot at the stealthy American jets, marking a significant tactical success."
