Several B-2 stealth bombers were spotted approaching Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on Sunday following the U.S.’ strikes against Iran.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Sunday, the Pentagon shared details about\u00a0Operation Midnight Hammer, the massive, complicated mission that struck three key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, calling it the “largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history.”<\/p>\n

The operation commenced when B-2 stealth bombers launched from\u00a0Whiteman Air Force Base\u00a0in Missouri at 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning.<\/p>\n

\nOperation Midnight Hammer used more than 125 aircraft in the mission, including seven B-2 stealth bombers, multiple fourth and fifth generation fighters, dozens of air refueling tankers, a guided missile submarine and “a full array” of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft, Caine said.<\/p>\n

U.S. forces launched approximately 75 precision-guided munitions, including 14 GBU 57 massive Ordnance penetrators, which weigh 30,000 pounds each. The operation marked the first-ever operational use of this weapon, Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,<\/p>\n

“This mission demonstrates the unmatched reach, coordination and capability of the United States military in just a matter of weeks,” Caine added. “This went from strategic planning to global execution.”<\/p>\n

The Pentagon told Fox News Digital that they could not confirm if the planes captured in the video were involved in the Iranian strikes.<\/p>\n
