The US conducted a large-scale covert military operation, Operation Midnight Hammer, involving B-2 bombers and cruise missiles to target Iran's nuclear facilities, with Iran denying significant damage. The operation was highly secretive, employing deception and stealth tactics, and marked the largest B-2 strike in US history.

The US did not use bunker-buster bombs on Iran's deep underground nuclear site in Isfahan last weekend because they likely would have been ineffective due to the site's depth. Instead, the US targeted other sites with missiles, and assessments suggest some nuclear material may still remain underground, with Iran possibly moving some of it beforehand. The strikes damaged above-ground structures but did not eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities, which remain a concern.
