    Trump used 12 bunker buster bombs and 30 Tomahawk missiles to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s nuclear sites

    Donald Trump ‘completely obliterated’ Iran‘s top secret Fordow nuclear site with 12 massive 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bombs.

    Two other nuclear sites in Iran were also ‘wiped out’ with 30 Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. submarines 400 miles away.

    The details were first revealed by Sean Hannity of Fox News, who spoke to the president shortly after the strikes.

    Hannity added that he had been told by Trump officials that Fordow was ‘gone.’ 

    The extent of the devastating bombing mission was later confirmed by a U.S. military official who suggested Fordow had been ‘taken off the table.’

    It had previously been suggested that only two bunker busters would be needed to destroy the site.

    A dozen B-2 stealth bombers were used to deliver the bunker busters.

    Israel had said their offensive already crippled Iran’s air defenses, allowing them to degrade multiple Iranian nuclear sites.

    But to destroy the Fordow nuclear fuel enrichment plant, Israel appealed to Trump for the bunker busting American bomb known as the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP).

    The device uses its weight and kinetic force to reach deeply buried targets and then explode.

    It has to be delivered by the B-2 stealth bomber, which is only found in the American arsenal.

    The deployment of the bomb was the first time it has ever been used in combat.

    It is precision-guided and designed to attack deeply buried and hardened bunkers and tunnels, according to the U.S. Air Force.

    Military experts say it can penetrate about 200 feet below the surface before going off. 

    The bombs can be dropped one after another, effectively drilling deeper and deeper into the ground with each successive blast.

    On Saturday morning the B-2 stealth bombers left from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and flew non-stop for about 37 hours, refueling several times. 

    The B-2, which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads, is only flown by the Air Force, and is produced by Northrop Grumman.

    It first saw action in 1999 in the Kosovo War, and is rarely used by the U.S. military in combat as each aircraft is worth around $1 billion. 

    The strategic heavy bomber has a range of about 7,000 miles without refueling and 11,500 miles with one refueling, and can reach any point in the world within hours.

    Prior to the attack in Iran, the military used the war plane in October last year to combat Yemen’s Houthi rebels and their underground bunkers. It has dropped bombs in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya as well. 

    Trump did not immediately specify what types of bombs were dropped. The White House and Pentagon did not immediately elaborate on the operation.  

    Iran has pledged to retaliate if the U.S. joined the Israeli assault.  

    Trump had previously indicated that he would make a final choice on whether to bomb Fordow over the next two weeks. 

    Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned the United States on Wednesday that strikes targeting the Islamic Republic would result in ‘irreparable damage’ for America.

    Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei declared ‘any American intervention would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region.’

    Trump has long vowed that he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

    He had initially hoped that the threat of force would bring the country’s leaders to give up its nuclear program peacefully.
