'Bullseye': Donald Trump hails op Midnight Hammer; says 'monumental damage' done to Iran's nuclear sites
US President Donald Trump on Sunday said that the recent airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities delivered a devastating blow to Tehran's nuclear programme. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said: "Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran, as shown by satellite images. Obliteration is an accurate term! The white structure shown is deeply imbedded into the rock, with even its roof well below ground level, and completely shielded from flame. The biggest damage took place far below ground level. Bullseye!!!" Operation 'Midnight Hammer' The attack on Iran's Fordow nuclear site, carried out Saturday evening at 6:40 pm ET, involved dropping a total of 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs), also known as 'bunker busters,' from multiple B-2 bomber jets. The mission marked the first time the US has used the massive 15-ton GBU-57 bombs in combat. US President Donald Trump praised the mission in a statement on Truth Social, writing: 'There is not another military in the world that could have done this.'
