'Pivot of History': US Attacks Iran Nuclear Sites, Trump Hints at Regime Change - CBN NewsWatch - June 23, 2025

JERUSALEM, Israel – America's "Midnight Hammer" met Israel's "Operation Rising Lion" on Sunday, as three U.S. B-2 bombers hit Iran's main nuclear enrichment sites.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the strike a "pivot of history."

The Pentagon detailed the attack, the largest B-2 bomber operation ever, and the first use of the 15-ton massive ordnance penetrator bunker-buster bomb.

U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine declared on Sunday, "At approximately 6:40 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, 2:10 a.m., Iran time, the lead B-2 dropped two GBU-57 massive ordnance penetrator weapons on the first of several aim points at Fordo (nuclear facility). As the President stated last night, the remaining bombers then hit their targets as well, with a total of 14 MOPs dropped against two nuclear target areas.”

Before and after satellite images show the destruction to all three sites, but there are concerns Iran might have moved some of the enriched uranium beforehand.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth observed, "The scope and scale of what occurred last night would take the breath away of almost any American if you had an opportunity to watch it in real-time. Planes flew from the middle of America and Missouri overnight, completely undetected over three of their most highly sensitive sites, and we were able to destroy nuclear capabilities, and our boys in those bombers are on their way home right now.”
