Truth Behind The Strike | Inside Operation Midnight Hammer
What is Operation Midnight Hammer?
The United States stated on June 22, 2025, about their significant secret military attack on Iran to destroy their three nuclear sites. This mission was named “Operation Midnight Hammer” This mission was planned carefully and with silence to achieve the goal.
The goal was to surprise Iran by destroying its underground nuclear facilities, which later became a bigger threat to America and Israel.
How the operation started
At midnight, when everyone was sleeping, the US attacked Iran quietly to prevent detection with seven B-2 stealth bombers that took off from the Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri and took 18 hours to fly towards Iran.
This operation has almost
- 125+ US aircrafts
- A lot of fuel tankers
- A submarine that gets underway with over 24 Tomahawk cruise missiles.
All the missiles attacked together to destroy the nuclear facilities of Iran, which were Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Bombs used in the mission
The US launched the 14 massive GBU-57 bunker bluster bombs with a weight of 30,000 pounds to attack the underground nuclear facilities of Fordo and Natanz.
During the same time, a submarine attack on Isfahan was another critical location with Tomahawk missiles.
Moreover, to seek attention from Iran’s defenses, the US launched decoy planes and fake radar signals that took away their attention. It helped the real strike force enter Iran without detecting and destroying their underground nuclear facilities.
Iran’s reply to the US attack
US Military officials gave the statement that:
- Iran’s defense system can not detect the bombers.
- Iran’s Defense missiles didn’t fire.
- They did not attack back and also didn’t launch any fighter jets.
This operation was conducted in complete silence and achieved great success.
Pete Hegseth, US Defense Secretary, said that the US president approved this operation to save the US and its allies.
He admired the planning and secrecy of the operation.
Gen. Dan Canie, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, stated that the planes launched silently to avoid detection from the enemy for a successful operation. He also said that the distraction in Iran at its nuclear sites was severe.
Donald Trump, former US president, later said on social media that the Iranian government can’t save the country. It’s time for a new government.
He wrote:
If Iran’s current leaders can’t make the country better, then maybe they should be replaced. MIGA– Make Iran great again
This statement was an implied threat to Iran. Iran still didn’t answer anything.
Israel involvements
Israel was part of this operation
There was a war started between Israel and Iran. Israel had already attacked Iran and its military sites.
When Iran answered back to Israel, Israel asked the US for help because Israel did not have the technology to destroy underground nuclear facilities, so he agreed to the US to help Israel by using their technology and destroying the underground nuclear facilities of Iran. There was a reason behind the US helping Israel.
That is, if Iran becomes a nuclear power, it would be a threat to both the US and Israel.
In this operation, Israel was also involved. Israeli jets entered Iran to seek defence attention towards them, and the US bombers entered Iran without detection. Even after the US strike, Israel attacked Iranian military targets like weapon launchers, radar, etc.
Will Iran attack back?
Are their nuclear facilities completely destroyed?
Everyone is now waiting for Iran’s reaction
Will Iran attack back at the US?
Will they stay quiet, or the situation gets worse in Iran, and the government will change, as US President Donald Trump said.
