Operation Midnight Hammer was the codename for a highly classified U.S. military mission aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The operation featured an intricate combination of stealth B-2 Spirit bombers, Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from submarines, and advanced electronic warfare measures. Carefully planned and executed, the mission targeted key Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—with surgical precision. It demonstrated America's ability to carry out complex strikes involving in-flight refuelling, global coordination, and deception strategies to maintain the tactical surprise. The operation also highlighted the U.S. military's strategic objective of neutralizing threats without provoking a full-scale conflict.
