The article discusses the recent U.S. military action against Iran directed by President Trump, which involved multiple bombings of Iranian nuclear sites. Amid the serious implications of this attack, the author highlights a notable aspect: at least one female pilot was involved in the operation, pointing to a stride toward gender equality in a traditionally male-dominated field. The operation, named "Operation Midnight Hammer," delivered an enormous payload, but its success regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities remains uncertain, with mixed reports emerging from both sides about the damage inflicted.
While I appreciate the alliteration, Hegseth could have just said 'pilots,' or even 'warfighters,' which would have been awkward with the U.S. insisting this was not an act of war.
The mission, named Operation Midnight Hammer, delivered 420,000 pounds of explosives, and while it was meant to destroy Iran's nuclear program, no one really seems to know how successful or unsuccessful it was.
