America attacked three nuclear places inside Iran using powerful bombs and missiles. President Trump says the military mission worked perfectly and destroyed all the targets. The operation took 18 hours as bombers flew from American bases to reach Iranian territory. Israel helped plan the attacks and worked closely with American forces during the strikes. Iranian officials admit their facilities were hit but claim the damage was not severe.
The Pentagon used 125 military planes for the massive bombing run against Iran. Seven special stealth bombers carried the heaviest weapons to break through underground bunkers. American submarines also fired cruise missiles at one of the nuclear sites before the bombers arrived. Military leaders say Iranian fighter jets never took off and their defense systems failed to spot the attacking aircraft. The bombers safely returned to America after completing their mission.
Fordo nuclear site sits deep underground like a hidden fortress beneath the mountains. American forces used giant bunker-buster bombs that weigh as much as trucks to try breaking through the thick concrete. These special weapons can punch through many feet of solid rock and concrete before exploding. Each bomber carried two of these massive bombs to maximize the destruction at each target. The Pentagon says this was not an attempt to change Iran's government but to stop their nuclear program.
