These missiles were launched at important Iranian infrastructure on the ground. The attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities was named ‘Midnight Hammer’.

US officials said that several steps were taken to deceive Iran in Midnight Hammer, fourth and fifth generation aircraft were flown ahead of the B-2 bombers, these aircraft were flying at high altitude and were flying fast.

According to the Pentagon, the strike package was supported by the US Strategic Command, the attack was supported by the US Transportation Command, Cyber ​​Command, US Space Command, and Space Force Command.
