The Pentagon on Sunday shared details about Operation Midnight Hammer, the massive, complicated mission that struck three key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, calling it the “largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history.”

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon that “the scope of this was intentionally limited” in his first formal remarks following the strikes, though he added that the capabilities of the American military “are nearly unlimited.”

Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, detailed the operation’s timeline and the deception tactics employed that went into striking Iran’s Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.

Caine called the operation the “largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history,” and that “no other military in the world could have done this.”

“This mission demonstrates the unmatched reach, coordination and capability of the United States military in just a matter of weeks,” Caine said. “This went from strategic planning to global execution.”

Caine also said this was the second-longest B-2 mission ever flown, exceeded only by missions flown in the days following 9/11.
