How the U.S. Carried Out a Precision Strike on Iran’s Nuclear Sites

The United States has launched a high-precision military strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, targeting three major sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

The operation involved B-2 stealth bombers flying more than 13,000 kilometers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, stopping at strategic locations in Guam and Diego Garcia.

Supported by four aerial refueling tankers, the aircraft entered Iranian airspace undetected and released GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs, each weighing over 13 tons and capable of penetrating 60 meters of reinforced concrete.

The most fortified target, Fordow, buried beneath 80 meters of mountain, was hit with six such bombs, causing significant destruction and reportedly halting uranium enrichment. Meanwhile, 30 Tomahawk cruise missiles struck Natanz and Isfahan, known for their surface-level nuclear infrastructure.

The strike is widely viewed as a warning to Tehran, both for its advancing nuclear program and its ongoing tensions with Washington. The operation combined advanced stealth, long-range planning, and precise targeting, and marks one of the most technically sophisticated airstrikes carried out by the U.S. military in recent years.
