In a groundbreaking escalation, the United States has confirmed the first-ever combat use of the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs, striking Iran’s Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant with six bunker-busting precision-guided munitions. The strike was executed by B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, operated by the 509th Bomb Wing and 393rd Bomb Squadron out of Whiteman AFB.
Conservative broadcaster Sean Hannity disclosed this unprecedented use of the MOP following direct confirmation from President Donald Trump, shortly after the successful mission.
📍 Key Details:
• Target: Fordow nuclear site near Qom, Iran — buried deep beneath mountains.
• Weapon Used: GBU-57A/B MOP — 30,000 lb bomb designed to penetrate reinforced underground bunkers.
• Delivery Platform: B-2 Spirit — each aircraft can carry 2 MOPs.
• Unit Involved: 509th Bomb Wing / 393rd Bomb Squadron (Whiteman AFB).
• Significance: First-ever confirmed combat deployment of the MOP; previously reserved for critical underground targets.
📍 Parallel Strikes:
• Tomahawk Cruise Missiles were launched from a U.S. Navy Ohio-class guided missile submarine, likely the USS Florida (SSGN-728).
• Targets: Iran’s Natanz and Isfahan nuclear complexes.
• Impact: Roughly 30 Tomahawk missiles reportedly struck uranium enrichment infrastructure, aimed at disrupting Iran’s nuclear capability.
🧠 This marks the most significant U.S. strategic airstrike against Iranian nuclear infrastructure to date. The use of the MOP signals Washington’s willingness to engage ultra-hardened underground targets that were once considered out of reach.
