After days of Israeli threats to act independently, Trump announced at midnight that American forces had struck three Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan using B-2 bombers and 182 tons of ordnance. The operation, codenamed "Midnight Hammer," represented the largest B-2 attack in US history. Iran retaliated within hours, firing 30 missiles across Israel that wounded 86 people in Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Nes Ziona. The strikes marked Iran's first major response to direct American involvement. By noon, Defense Secretary Hegseth declared Iran's nuclear program "destroyed," though Israeli sources suggested Iran had evacuated uranium from Fordow beforehand. Assessment reports conflicted on the actual damage to the underground facilities. Netanyahu signaled the war's potential conclusion, stating Israel was "close to completing objectives" and would not continue beyond requirements. Trump directly challenged Iran's leadership, asking why the regime shouldn't be replaced if it cannot make the country "great again."
