On June 22, 2025, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine held a press briefing detailing "Operation Midnight Hammer," a U.S. Central Command precision strike ordered by President Donald Trump targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Executed overnight on June 21-22, the operation involved over 125 aircraft, including seven B-2 Spirit bombers deploying 14 Massive Ordnance Penetrators and a U.S. submarine launching over 24 Tomahawk missiles, achieving “extremely severe damage” to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure without targeting civilians or troops. Described as a historic success demonstrating U.S. military prowess and Trump’s “peace through strength” policy, the operation maintained strict operational security, coordinated with Israel, and aimed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, while warning against retaliation and urging diplomatic resolution. #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld #usstrike #iran #nuclearcrisis Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/3VHIl37 Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
