General Raizing Cain discusses Operation Midnight Hammer, the US Strike Against Iranian Nuclear Sites

- Operation Midnight Hammer involved seven B-2 Spirit bombers flying from Missouri to Iran, requiring multiple in-flight refuelings and coordination with U.S. escort aircraft.

- The mission targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities: Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, marking a significant escalation in the Iran-Israel conflict.

- The operation included 125 U.S. military aircraft and employed 75 precision-guided weapons, including 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs), marking their first operational use.

- No shots were fired at U.S. aircraft during the mission, highlighting the element of surprise and operational security maintained throughout.

- Initial battle damage assessments indicate severe destruction at all three sites, though final assessments are pending.

- The mission's success was attributed to stringent operational security, with few in Washington aware of the timing or nature of the plan, preventing any leaks.
