"Operation Midnight Hammer"
Targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities "high risk and complex" mission
Included significant deception operation
After months of…
A 'decoy' package went west as part of the deception operation
Main Strike Package went east with minimal communications
"Not aware of any shots fired on the Strike Package on the way in"
"Unaware any shots fired on the way out."
Iran 's Surface to Air systems "did not see us" and "maintained element of surprise"
Initial damage assessments "extremely severe damage and destruction"
Largest B2 operational strike in US history
Also one of the longest next to Operation Enduring Freedom post 9/11
Gave Iran every opportunity to negotiate for Peace but "met by stonewalling"
"Incredibly poor choice" to retaliate against US
NOTE: IN 2020, Iran did retaliate with the largest ballistic missile strike against American forces in US history after a US drone strike killed its top General Qasem Soleimani.
Leaked military memos exclusively obtained by our team last fall indicated at least one of Iran's war heads was contaminated, a "dirty" warhead, and exposed US forces to potentially toxic agents including radiation.
