‘2000-lb bombs’: B-2 Bomber executed merciless, Earth-shattering bombardment on Iran during Operation Epic Fury
During Operation Epic Fury, US B-2 stealth bombers dropped 2,000-lb bunker-busters on Iran's hardened ballistic missile facilities. US Central Command confirmed the earth-shattering bombardment
Operation Epic Fury begins
The United States and Israel launched a massive joint military campaign against Tehran, officially dubbed Operation Epic Fury. Over 900 strikes were recorded in just 12 hours, targeting critical Iranian defence infrastructure.
Deploying the B-2 Spirit
To breach deeply buried targets, the Pentagon deployed its $2 billion B-2 Spirit stealth bombers. These aircraft are uniquely designed to evade advanced radar systems and deliver heavy munitions into highly defended airspace.
2,000-lb bunker busters
The stealth bombers were armed with massive 2,000-lb bombs, explicitly engineered to act as bunker busters. These earth-shattering munitions successfully penetrated Iran's hardened subterranean complexes before detonating.
Targeting missile facilities
The primary focus of this specific B-2 deployment was Iran's hardened ballistic missile facilities. Eradicating these fortified underground sites aims to drastically reduce Tehran's ability to launch retaliatory long-range attacks.
CENTCOM's stern warning
US Central Command officially confirmed the nighttime raids on social media, releasing footage of the bombers. CENTCOM declared that "no nation should ever doubt America's resolve" following the devastating bombardment.
A transcontinental mission
Military analysts indicate the bombers likely flew non-stop from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. This grueling, round-trip combat mission demonstrates America's unmatched global strike capabilities and mid-air refuelling logistics.
An escalating conflict
The deployment of heavy stealth bombers signifies a major escalation in the Middle East war. Despite the massive destruction of its missile bases, Iran has immediately attempted to retaliate against US forces stationed across the Gulf.
