This location marks the site of a significant U.S. military strike conducted on June 22, 2025, as part of Operation Midnight Hammer. Seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers deployed 14 GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs targeting Iran's Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant and Natanz Nuclear Facility. The GBU-57, weighing 30,000 pounds, represents the most powerful bunker-busting munition in the U.S. arsenal, designed specifically to destroy deeply buried and hardened targets.
This strike demonstrated the capability to neutralize fortified underground nuclear facilities that conventional weapons cannot reach.
