🇮🇷 General Dan Caine, head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed that the #Pentagon’s strike—dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer—inflicted “extremely severe damage” on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
According to Caine, part of the operation involved sending #B2 bombers westward over the Pacific as a decoy, while the actual strike group approached Iran undetected.
He claimed #Iran’s air defenses “did not see us,” implying the country was caught entirely off guard.
Only a small circle of American leadership knew about the strike in advance, highlighting the covert nature of the planning. The B-2s reportedly flew 18-hour missions and required multiple in-air refueling sessions to reach the target and return.
