Donald Trump deployed ten massive 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs to have sent into total destruction the top-secret Fordow nuclear complex of Iran.
Two other nuclear facilities in Iran were also “wiped out”, using 30 Tomahawk missiles launched at 400 miles distance by American submarines.
The information first was revealed by Sean Hannity of Fox News who interviewed the president shortly after the strikes.
Trump officials told me that Fordow was gone, said Hannity.
The extent of the devastating bombing mission was later confirmed by a U.S. military official, which suggested that Fordow was no longer on the menu.
It had been suggested before that the site could be demolished using only two bunker busters.
The bunker busters arrived in a half dozen B-2 stealth bombers.
Israel also said that their raid had actually shut down the air defences of Iran, which they had used to bomb some Iranian nuclear facilities.
Nevertheless, Israel has asked Trump to give Israel GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), an American bomb capable of destroying bunkers, to destroy the Fordow nuclear fuel enrichment plant.
Its weight and its kinetic energy allow the gadget to penetrate very deep into the ground, where it later detonates.
It must be carried by B-2 stealth bomber, which is a unique airplane of the United States arsenal.
This was the initial use of bomb in combat ever.
Air force USA asserts that it is a precision-guided weapon developed to attack tunnels and well-fortified and deep bunkers.
Military analysts claim that it can travel to a depth of 200 feet or so before exploding.
As the bombs are detonated again and again, it is possible to leak one bomb onto the other, in order to further dig deeper and farther into the ground.
The stealth bombers with the B-2 faction in Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri left early morning on Saturday and flew around 37 hours nonstop and refueled in various flights.
The B-2 is an Air Force-only airplane built by Northrop Grumman and capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
The military in the United States rarely employs its use in combat situations because each airplane requires more than a billion dollars. This first found use during the Kosovo War in 1999.
The heavy bomber has the capacity to cover any place across the world within hours and it has a combining distance of about 7000 miles without a refill, and 10000 miles with one refuelling.
Before attacking Iran in October of last year, the military was using the war plane to battle the Houthi rebels in Yemen and their sub-basement tunnels. It has also bombed Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Trump did not clarify at first what type of bombs had been dropped. The Pentagon and White House did not yet give more details of the operation.
In case the United States joined the Israeli attack, Iran has vowed to retaliate against them.
In a previous statement, Trump mentioned that he would make a decision within two weeks as to whether to bomb Fordow or not.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian supreme leader, has warned America, against any assaults on the Islamic Republic, saying it would bring an irreparable damage to the United States.
Esmail Baghaei, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, added that, in case of American intervention, the likelihood of all-out war in the region is a recipe.
Trump has been vocal on not letting Iran obtain nuclear weapons.
The first thought was that the authorities of the country would be willing to tacitly drop its nuclear program in favor of the threat of force.
