In one of the most decisive airpower operations in modern military history, the United States launched a covert strike against Iran under the codename Operation Midnight Hammer. Executed while most of the world slept, this mission showcased unmatched coordination, stealth, and technological dominance. Iran’s critical nuclear infrastructure was crippled—before it could even respond.
🔹 Main Operation Highlights (List Mode)
• 125+ U.S. aircraft participated in the strike, encompassing multi-branch coordination.
• Seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers conducted an 18-hour mission with multiple aerial refuelings.
• 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs) targeted Iran’s underground nuclear sites at Fordow and Natanz.
• Over 24 Tomahawk missiles were launched by a U.S. Navy submarine at surface-level military facilities in Esfahan.
• Decoy bombers were flown west to distract Iranian defenses, while the real strike force entered silently from the east.
• Iran’s air defense systems remained inactive—no radar locks, no missile launches, no interceptors deployed.
• Surgical execution was achieved through collaboration across Cyber Command, Strategic Command, Space Command, European Command, and CENTCOM, with near-zero internal communication.
• Outcome: Iran’s nuclear capabilities suffered a severe operational setback. Key enrichment facilities are now disabled.
General Razin Caine stated it clearly: “No other military in the world could have done this.”
Operation Midnight Hammer reaffirmed the global superiority of American airpower and intelligence integration. In silence and with precision, a strategic threat was neutralized.
