Part 3/8:

The military mission, hailed as America’s largest B-2 strike in history, deployed over 125 aircraft and employed advanced weaponry, including the first operational use of the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator. This level of precision required meticulous planning, with minimal communications to maintain operational security. The strikes, which occurred between 6:40 PM and 7:05 PM Eastern time, were executed on Iranian soil under the cover of darkness, demonstrating the capabilities of US military technology.

According to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Raisen Kaine, the successful mission was not without its complexities, including the subsequent launch of Tomahawk missiles to target critical infrastructure.
