US B-2 Bombers Strike Iran’s Nuclear Sites in Massive 37-Hour Mission – What You Need to Know
In a dramatic and high-stakes military move, US B-2 Spirit stealth bombers launched a bold 37-hour non-stop strike mission targeting Iran’s most secure nuclear sites. The bombers, taking off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, flew thousands of miles and were refueled mid-air multiple times to reach their final targets deep inside Iranian territory.
Key Nuclear Sites Targeted According to the New York Times and official US sources, the bombers successfully struck three critical Iranian nuclear facilities:
Fordow – a heavily fortified underground site
Natanz – Iran’s primary uranium enrichment center
Esfahan – a known nuclear research and development hub
President Donald Trump confirmed the strike Sunday morning, calling it an “amazing success” and warning Tehran to “make peace immediately or get hit again.”
The Strike Details The operation included a mix of:
Six bunker-buster bombs targeting the Fordow facility
30+ Tomahawk missiles hitting Natanz and Esfahan
These advanced weapons were selected to penetrate deep underground bunkers — especially Fordow, long believed to be nearly impenetrable.
Strategic Positioning from Guam Ahead of the attack, the US had repositioned its B-2 bombers to Guam, a Pacific island known for its strategic importance. These stealth aircraft can carry the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, built to destroy deep-set targets like Iran’s nuclear bunkers.
🇮🇷 Iran Responds An Iranian official acknowledged significant damage to Fordow, as reported by Tasnim News Agency, confirming that “enemy airstrikes” had partially destroyed the site.
This US strike came just days after a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Experts say that while Israel has been active covertly, only the US had the capability to break through defenses like those at Fordow.
🇺🇸 US Coordination with Israel The US and Israeli governments reportedly coordinated closely on the operation. After the strikes, President Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, reaffirming their strategic alliance.
Regional Impact – Deaths and Escalation The strikes follow escalating violence between Israel and Iran. According to initial reports:
Over 400 people killed in Iran
3,500+ injured
In Israel, 14 people killed, 1,200+ injured in retaliatory missile strikes
This is now considered one of the most dangerous escalations between the two nations in years.
What’s Next? President Trump is expected to address the nation in a primetime Oval Office speech later today, outlining the reasons for the strike and the US’s position moving forward.
