Operation Midnight Hammer targets three key sites in coordinated air campaign

Tehran, Iran – President Trump initially indicated it would take him two weeks to decide whether to proceed with an attack on Iran. However, after just two days, Trump quietly authorized a planned military strike.

With very few people aware of the operation, Trump deployed a fleet of 125 U.S. military aircraft, including seven B-2 stealth bombers. The aircraft flew overseas from the United States in a 16-hour flight, arriving in Iran undetected to attack three strategic locations: Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.

On Saturday night, President Trump posted on his Truth Social profile: “We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of bombs was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the world that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Accompanied by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump later appeared at a late-night press conference and warned Iran against retaliation: “There will be either peace, or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.”
