How does America say that it kills Iran’s nuclear sites

Each way, an 18-hour flight, a series of middle-hlea fuel, and decoy-is how the Supreme Ranking Officer in the US Army, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to four-star General Dan Can, how is the mission to bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Although the United States is calling the ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’, its full impact is still not clear, a timelyline of how the complex mission was revealed, in the Pentagon briefing on Sunday morning, a few hours after the strike.

American bombers “without going out and back and back and back and back and back, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters.

All this began after midnight when Secretary Hegseth joined US President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, State Secretary Marco Rubio, and Elite Pentagon employees in the position room at the White House, who watched as an American airbase in the rural Missouri as the aircraft fleet.

According to the Pentagon, under the cover of darkness, B -2 Stealth Bombers flew from Whitman Air Force Base 00:01 EDT (05:01 BST).

Their final goal: Iran’s safest nuclear site.

Subconic jets, which travel just below the speed of sound, flew over the Atlantic Ocean, which is filled with powerful “bunker buster” bombs, capable of entering more than 18 meters (60 feet) concrete.

It needs the required weapon to hit Iran’s nuclear enrichment facility in Fordo, which is buried under the deep underground of a mountain and is considered the subscription of the country’s nuclear program. America is the only country in the world which is known to this type of weapon.

But the world was not watching – still. Everyone’s eyes were facing the West, towards the Pacific Ocean, after the report, the bombers were sent to the American island area of ​​Guam.

The BBC wrote at the time, while the deployment is not officially getting involved in the discussion around the US to join Iran’s Israeli war, some people will suspect the link. “

But it was just one Russia – according to the account given by the Pentagon – a decoy to distract directly from the top -Gupta flights to Iran on the Atlantic.

General Cain said that the aircraft that flew on Pacific to the west, “an attempt to deception is only known for a very small number of planners and prominent leaders”.

He said, “The main strike package consisted of seven B -2 Spirit Bomes, each of which two crew members were, with minimal communication, he went silently,” he said.

They do not show military aircraft flight tracking websites, making it difficult for the BBC to independently verify the details of the pentagon of the events.

And although satellite pictures can help show the limit of loss on overnight sites, they cannot tell us the exact time when they are a hit.

When the fleet made it in the Middle East, around the time 17:00 EDT (22:00 BST), it was included by the aircraft, which helped to protect the bombers by sweeping the enemy’s fighters and in front of the surface to see the missile hazards in the air, which the General Cain said “Complex, tightly exaggerated.

According to US officials, the Iranian fighter jets did not leave the flight and no air rescue fired in a shot.

“Israeli dominance on Iranian airspace, a missile defense expert from the Center for Strategic and International Studies at Washington DC, pronounced Israeli dominance on the Iranian airspace.

The next hour and forty minutes were described by General Can during the Pentagon briefing, which was not normally manifested to the public.

Although briefing provided time for some incidents, the map showing the journey of bombers was not a specific flight path and slightly different among the two versions presented.

The Trump administration has declared the later events as a total victory, claiming that the US had “obliteration” to Iran’s nuclear rule. But the correct limit of damage, and after that, has not yet been measured.

While Iran has confirmed the attacks, it has reduced the range of damage and has not provided a specific account of the sequence of events.

At around 17:00 EDT (22:00 BST) US officials say that more than two dozen Tomahock land attack cruise missiles were launched from an American submarine posted in the Arabian site towards the nuclear site near the city of Isfahan.

While the nuclear facility is at a distance of hundreds of kilometers, submarines were enough to impress the cruise missiles at the same time when the B -2S secretly dropped its “bunker buster” on the other two nuclear sites, Dr. Stacei Petizon said, a defense specialist for a new American security.

All this meant that the US was able to provide “an attack of a coordinated surprise on many sites”, he told BBC Verifai.

Meanwhile, a fleet of bombers entered the Iranian airspace, where the US employed many other deception strategies, including more decoy, according to the Pentagon.

Then the wind attacks started.

The lead bomber dropped two GBU -57 large -scale arms of Ordnance Intendor’s weapons on the first two GBU -57 of several goals in Fordo at around 18:40 EDT (23:40 BST) after 02:00 am in Iran.

According to experts, the MOP bomb is capable of leaving about 18 m (60 ft) concrete or 61 meters (200 ft) of the earth. This means that although it is not a guarantee of success, it is the only bomb in the world that may come close to affect the depth of the tunnels in the Fordo feature-below the case is considered 80–90 meters (262–295 ft).

This was the first time the “Bunker Buster” bomb was ever dropped in a real match operation.

The remaining bombers hit their goals – according to the Pentagon, with a total of 14 mops on the Fordo and a second nuclear feature in Natanz. And at the Isfahan atomic site, 200 km from Fordo, Tomahawk missiles hit their goals.

According to the Pentagon, after spending 18 hours in aircraft, all the goals were killed to be taken out of EDT (00:30 BST) about 25 minutes ago, to return to America according to Pentagon.

Overall, around 75 accurately directed weapons and over 125 American aircraft were used, and Secretary Hegseth claimed that the mission provided “powerful and clear” destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

But it would take time to assess the evidence of the full scope of the strike – with more footage to see how deeply the bunker Buster bombs were capable of entering on underground underground atomic sites.

Dr. Petizon said, “It was an incredibly complex and very sophisticated attack that could not perform any other country in the world.”

“Despite the success of the operation, it is not clear that it will achieve the goal of setting up Iran’s nuclear program permanently.”
