In a bold show of strength, U.S. B-2 stealth bombers flew 13,000 km from Missouri to Iran to target deeply buried nuclear sites. They dropped two GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs—America’s largest non-nuclear weapons—built to punch through 60 meters of rock or concrete.
The radar-evading bombers were refueled mid-air and reached their target undetected, demonstrating the U.S.’s rare ability to strike fortified sites anywhere in the world within hours. The move sends a strong message as Iran continues to harden its underground nuclear facilities.
