New Details Emerge in Iran Attack: U.S. Used Submarines, 6 'Bunker Buster' Bombs
The United States bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities on June 21, and now new details are emerging about how the attack was launched. The attack involved submarines and stealth B-2 bombers. Fox News gave additional details on the attacks against the Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan (Isfahan) facilities. The U.S. used six "huge bunker buster bombs" to obliterate the Fordow facility, which is located deep in the mountains, Fox News reported. They were "dropped from American stealth B-2 bombers." Natanz and Esfahan were targeted differently, Fox News reported. They were attacked with '30 tomahawk missiles launched by American submarines from 400 miles away," Fox News reported, saying that the U.S. "completely obliterated" Fordow. What are bunker buster bombs? "The Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is a weapon system designed to accomplish a difficult, complicated mission of reaching and destroying our adversaries' weapons of mass destruction located in well-protected facilities. It is more powerful than its predecessor, the BLU-109," the Air Force says. The bunker buster bombs are also known as GBU-57s, and "can only be carried by B-2 bombers, with each aircraft capable of carrying two of these 30,000-pound weapons at a time," Newsweek reported. Originally, it was believed that only two bunker buster bombs would be needed to obliterate Fordow. What is Natanz? "The nuclear complex, about 250 kilometers (150 miles) south of the capital Tehran, is considered Iran's largest uranium enrichment facility," CNN reported. The network reported that much is not known about Fordow because of its location deep in the mountains. Its "main halls are an estimated 80 to 90 meters (around 262 to 295 feet) beneath the ground," the network added. What is Isfahan? "Isfahan, in central Iran, is home to the country's largest nuclear research complex," the network noted. The network reported that lawmakers' response to the bombing was Details Emerge in Iran Attack: U.S. Used Submarines, 6 'Bunker Buster' Bombs first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 22, 2025

Israel says the remains of 3 hostages have been recovered from Gaza
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Israeli military says it has recovered the remains of three hostages held in the Gaza Strip. It identified them as Yonatan Samerano, 21; Ofra Keidar, 70; and Shay Levinson, 19. All three were killed during Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack into Israel that ignited the ongoing war. The militant group is still holding 50 hostages, less than half of them believed to be alive. Kobi Samerano said in a Facebook post that his son's remains were returned on what would have been Yonatan's 23rd birthday. 'The campaign to return the hostages continues consistently and is happening alongside the campaign against Iran,' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 people in the Oct. 7 attack. More than half the hostages have been returned in ceasefire agreements or other deals, eight have been rescued alive and Israeli forces have recovered dozens of bodies. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed over 55,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which has said that women and children make up more than half of the dead. It does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. ___ Follow AP's war coverage at
