B-2 bombers from Iran mission return home to Missouri
The B-2 bomber pilots who carried out strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities have returned to the U.S., President Trump confirmed on Sunday. CBS News crews captured video of several B-2 Spirit Bombers flying back to the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on Sunday afternoon. Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said earlier in the day that seven of the aircraft flew east from the base to Iran to bomb three nuclear sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. The mission, dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer," was the "largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history," Caine said. "Thank you for a job well done!!!," Mr. Trump wrote Sunday in a Truth Social post confirming the pilots' return. He also said Sunday that the damage to Iran's nuclear sites was "monumental." "The hits were hard and accurate. Great skill was shown by our military," he said in another post. A U.S. military B-2 bomber flies over Missouri as it returns to the Whiteman Air Force Base after the June 21, 2025, mission targeting nuclear sites in Iran. Ian Lee/CBS News At a Pentagon briefing Sunday, Caine said that each of the B-2 bombers carried two GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, or MOPs. Over 25 minutes, a total of 14 MOPs were dropped on two target areas at Fordo and Natanz, while Tomahawk missiles from a U.S. submarine targeted the Isfahan site, he said. Another group of B-2s flew west over the Pacific to act as decoys, Caine said. "More than 125 U.S. aircraft participated in this mission," Caine said, including the B-2 bombers, fighter jets, refueling planes and surveillance aircraft. More than 75 precision-guided weapons were used in the attack, he noted. The following day, satellite images show several large diameter holes or craters on the top of the ridge over the underground complex at Fordo. At Natanz and Isfahan, photos from Maxar Technologies show extensive building damage across the facilities, including a fuel enrichment plant. and contributed to this report.

Tucker Carlson Calls Fox News Propaganda, Internet Chokes On Irony
Tucker Carlson just bit the hand that fed him talking points. The right-wing firebrand called his former network, Fox News, 'propaganda' while criticizing its pro-war message during an appearance on Steve Bannon's 'War Room' podcast on Monday. 'What they are doing is what they always do, which is just turning up the propaganda hose to full blast and just trying to knock elderly Fox viewers off their feet and make them subject to more wars,' Carlson told Bannon. Rattling off a list of 'warmongers' that he said are urging President Donald Trump to intervene in Israel's war with Iran, the retired cable news star host named Fox News anchors Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, as well as the network's owner, Rupert Murdoch, and billionaire Republican donors, Ike Perlmutter and Miriam Adelson. 'At some point, they will all have to answer for this, but you should know their names now,' the pundit went on. Things between Fox News and its one-time headliner seem to have soured since he left his primetime perch at the network in April 2023. Online, people couldn't resist pointing out the irony of Carlson's comments after he spent years pushing conspiracy theories and disinformation on his Fox News shows.
