The U.S. bombing of nuclear sites in Iran included more than 125 aircraft, missiles launched from a submarine and a decoy flight of B-2 stealth bombers that flew over the Pacific on Saturday to draw attention away from the mission, defense officials said Sunday.
Caine appeared alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who delivered his first news conference at the Pentagon after five months in office. He called it a “precision strike” that occurred in the middle of the night and said the United States has devastated the Iranian nuclear program.
Hegseth said the operation required “misdirection” and the first operational deployment of the bunker-busting MOP bomb, designed for attacks on underground targets. Most of those bombs were used at Iran’s Fordow nuclear enrichment facility.
