Pentagon Details Multipronged Attack on Iranian Nuclear Sites
(New York Times) Helene Cooper - Senior Pentagon officials on Sunday described a coordinated military operation targeting Iran that took place under utmost secrecy and showcased what the American military was capable of. The B-2 stealth bombers took off in secrecy on Friday night from Missouri for the more than 7,000-mile trip, which involved multiple refuelings. They struck the heavily fortified nuclear site at Fordo, as well as facilities at Natanz. A U.S. Navy submarine also launched more than two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at a third site, Isfahan. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said that Iran had not deployed fighter jets or surface-to-air missiles to hit back at the American planes. "We are currently unaware of any shots fired at the U.S. strike package on the way in."
