The US used six B-2 bombers to drop a dozen “bunker buster” bombs on the Fordow nuclear site in Iran, a US official told CNN.
Navy submarines fired 30 TLAM cruise missiles at two other sites, Natanz and Isfahan, and a B2 dropped two bunker busters on Natanz, the official said.

Also here is a short video of one of the bombs, looks like one of the nuke blasts from the WWII era:
the First Video from U.S. Strike on Fordow? — WATCH NOW!
Iran moved the materials out of “Fordow” a few days ago? And “Natanz” was the harder underground target to breach....GBU-57’s should have been used there...T-LAMS not that effective for an underground target like Natanz.
14 total BB’s
Bombing a nuclear facility? What happens to
the atmosphere with the spread of the waste?
I’m gonna argue that there were a lot of eyes between Israel and Washington watching those sites constantly since Israel first started this campaign. It would have been extremely difficult for any of those materials to be moved without notice.
No, three separate ‘drill’ sites, 2 each.
Details matter.
Should’ve used B61-11’s, just to be sure.
Well, some of it makes it to the surface. Duh.
But most all of it was buried under a million tons of rock and concrete.
Would you prefer that radiation be spread over Israel or a US city?
Think about it.
2 MOPs were used at Natanz.
>> Iran moved the materials out of “Fordow” a few days ago?
No.
And anyway, it’s not the partially enriched “nuclear materials” that matter... it’s the enrichment cascade. It’s broke! Permanently!
>> What happens to the atmosphere with the spread of the waste?
Oh, I dunno... guess we’re all gonna die. We only had 4.63 years left anyway because of all the CO2 in the air and stuff.
>> Details matter.
When FReepers are hyperventilating and speculating and armchair-quarterbacking, details just get in the way of proper fabulist scenario-building!
A lot of armchair generals on your post “shoulda done this, shoulda used that”.....hilarious. SMH
Well put.
You’re exactly right.
“It was the wrong strike package because Nantaz was the hardest facility!”
“No is isn’t, ISFAHAN is the hardest!”
“Oh yeah, they’re ALL too hard for the US to defeat. Irna is simply invincible in this regard.”
“You guys are all wrong, because Iran moved all their materiel away DAYS ago.”
“You’re all wrong; THREE nuclear nations have vowed to provide Iran with the world’s most powerful nuclear bombs. What do you think those 747s from China were carrying idiot???”
“Well it was unconstitutional anyways, because Trump is a King.”
Did I cover most all of it? ;-)
I left out. “CNN anonymous sources inside the State Department said ...”
They dropped two MOPs on Natanz in addition to the smaller missiles.
Nothing material.
It’s underground and gets buried in rock.
Concern trolls work off a list of talking points they’ve been provided.
Nice of Trump to avoid the Muslim sabbath for them.
