The U.S. Air Force has shown off the devastating effects of their bunker-buster bombs as used in Iran.
Air Force Gen. Dan "Razin" Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, offered a detailed account of the U.S. military’s unprecedented strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, codenamed Operation Midnight Hammer.
The Pentagon press conference, held Thursday (June 26), saw Gen. Caine show off test footage of the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or "bunker buster," used for the first time in combat during the strike.
At the briefing, held alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Gen. Caine recounted the 15-year effort by U.S. defense experts to analyse and develop weapons capable of penetrating Iran’s deeply buried Fordo nuclear site.
The U.S. Air Force said the bomb test shown "demonstrated the Air Force’s ability to severely damage or destroy targets, including those concealed heavily within reinforced underground facilities, or hardened mountain complexes."
