Although the full influence of what the US calls the “Northern Hammer” operation is still incomprehensible, the term of the difficult mission has been set out at a briefing in the Pentagon on Sunday morning, a few hours after strokes.
The US bombers went “and back and forth without knowing the world,” Defense Minister Pete Hegseta told reporters.
It all started immediately after the north, when Heagset secretary joined US President Donald Trump, JD Vance Vice President, Secretary of State Mark Rubio and Elite Pentagon staff in a white house to watch the aircraft’s fleet from the US Air Force.
Under the cover of darkness, B-2 stel-bombers flew out of the Whiteman Air Force base at 00:01 EDT (05:01 BST), the Pentagon reports.
Their ultimate goal: the safest nuclear areas of Iran.
Baby planes moving just below the speed speed flew over the Atlantic Ocean, loaded with powerful “bunker” capable of penetrating the concrete at 18 m (60 feet) depth.
It is a kind of weapon needed to get to Iran’s nuclear facility in Ford, which is buried under the mountains in the depths of the mountain and is considered the epicenter of the country’s nuclear program. The US is the only country in the world that owns this type of weapon.
But the world has not yet looked – yet. All eyes were turned west to the Pacific Ocean, After the reports were sent bombers to the USA in Guam.
“While the deployment is not officially related to the discussions that have entered Israel’s war with Iran, few will doubt the link,” the BBC writes at the time.
But it was just a trick – according to the Pentagon’s account – belonging to divert attention from secret flights directly to Iran over Atlantic.
The aircraft flying to the West over the Pacific were “the efforts of deception, known only for the extremely small number of planners and key leaders,” Gen Kane said.
“The main strike package consisting of seven B-2 bombers, each of the two crew members, quietly walked east with minimal messages,” he added.
These military aircraft do not appear on the flight tracking sites, which makes the BBC self -check the Pentagon’s events.
And albeit Satellite images can help show the degree of damage On the sites for the night they can’t tell us the exact times when they were hit.
When the fleet reached the Middle East, at about 5:00 pm EDT (22:00 BST), it was joined by support planes that helped protect the bombers, sweeping in front of them to seek enemy fighters and rockets, in the fact that Caine’s gene called “a densely translated maneuver.”
But Iranian fighters did not fly, and, according to US officials, there was no air defense.
“Israeli dominance over Iranian air space has downloaded a pump for US bombers with impunity,” said Patrycja Bazylczyk, a missile defense expert at the Washington Strategic and International Studies Center, BBC Verife.
The following hours and forty minutes were described by Caino Gen during a Pentagon briefing at the level of parts that are not usually revealed to society.
Despite the fact that the briefing provided the timing for certain events, the card showing the bombers’ journey was not a certain way of flight and was slightly different in two versions presented.
Trump’s administration announced the following events as a complete victory, saying the US had “destroyed” Iran’s nuclear regime. But the true degree of damage and its consequences still need to be measured.
While Iran confirmed the attacks, he minimized the degree of damage and did not submit a specific accounting sequence.
Around 5:00 pm EDT (22:00 BST), US officials say more than two dozen land management missiles on Tomahawk land were launched from a US submarine, located in the Arabian Sea to the Nidzfahan Nuclear Playground, a city of about two million.
While the nuclear establishment exists hundreds of kilometers deep, the submarines were close enough for cruise missiles to the same time as the hidden B-2s reduced their “Bunker Buster” bombs over the two nuclear sites, said Dr.
All meant that the United States was able to provide a “coordinated unexpected attack on several sites,” she said the BBC Verify.
Meanwhile, the bombers’ fleet entered the Iranian air space, where several other deception tactics worked in the United States, including more bait, the Pentagon reports.
Then the air strikes began.
The lead bomber dropped two massive GBU -57 weapons known as MOP – for the first of several goals in Ford at about 18:40 EDT (23:40 BST), immediately after 2:00 in the morning in Iran.
According to experts, the MOP bomb can pass about 18 m (60 feet) concrete or 61 m (200 feet) land. This means that although this is not a guaranteed success, it is the only bomb in the world that may approach the depth of the tunnels at the Fordo object-considered 80-90 m (262-295 feet) below the surface.
It was the first time when the Bunker Buster bombs fell out in a real combat operation.
Then the rest of the bombers got into their goals – a total of 14 MOPS fell on the Fordo and the second nuclear facility in Natanto, Pentagon reports. And on the nuclear platform Isfahan, 200 km from Ford, Tomahawk rockets have achieved their goals.
After the planes spent 18 hours in the air, all the goals were reached approximately 25 minutes before they left Iran at 19:30 EDT (00:30 BST) to return to the US, the Pentagon reports.
In total, about 75 accurate weapons and more than 125 US aircraft were used, and Secretary Hugset claimed that the mission provided a “powerful and clear” destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
But the evidence of the full scope of the strikes will take time to evaluate – with the additional frames needed to see how deep the underground bunker bombs were able to penetrate the key nuclear places.
“It was an incredibly complicated and very difficult attack that no other country could do in the world,” said D -Petzhon.
“Despite the success of the operation tactically, it is unclear whether it will be able to achieve the goal of Iran’s nuclear program constantly.”
