‘Operation Midnight Hammer’: America Obliterates Iranian Nuclear Sites as Russia/Iran Push for WWIII

In a move widely expected by many, President Trump ordered the bombing of three Iranian nuclear facilities via ‘Operation Midnight Hammer,’ obliterating the sites and triggering both Iran and Russia to issue threats of war.

Trump decimated Iran’s nuclear facilities

Trump had originally declared a two-week deadline to consider diplomatic relations with the Iranians over their nuclear weapons program. Many in the military and intelligence communities believed that he would move sooner rather than later and that the declaration was perhaps a head-fake to buy time to move assets into place for an attack. It turns out they were correct.

President Trump and top US officials claim that all three sites, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, were destroyed and urged Iran to surrender. Iran has other ideas, however.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” President Trump stated on Truth Social.

He also noted on the platform after the bombing, “I will be giving an Address to the Nation at 10:00 P.M., at the White House, regarding our very successful military operation in Iran. This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!”

‘Operation Midnight Hammer’ was historic

‘Operation Midnight Hammer’ was, by all accounts, a stunning success. It was carried out Saturday night using a fleet of B-2 bombers that dropped 14 bunker-buster bombs on Fordow, Iran’s primary enrichment site. The other two sites were hit with over two dozen Tomahawk missiles. The Iranians allegedly didn’t fire on the over 125 US military aircraft involved.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan ‘Razin’ Caine held a press conference early Sunday morning, calling the strikes “bold” and “brilliant.” He warned Iran that there would be severe consequences if it refused to come to the negotiating table and attack our forces.

“Last night, on President Trump’s orders, U.S. Central Command conducted a precision strike in the middle of the night against three nuclear facilities in Iran, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in order to destroy or severely degrade Iran’s nuclear program,” Hegseth said Sunday morning during the briefing at the Pentagon. 

“It was an incredible and overwhelming success,” Hegseth added. “The order we received from our commander in chief was focused. It was powerful, and it was clear we devastated the Iranian nuclear program. But it’s worth noting the operation did not target Iranian troops or the Iranian people for the entirety of his time in office.” 

Hegseth made it clear that if we are attacked, we will reciprocate, “The mission demonstrated to the world the level of joint and allied integration that speak to the strength of our alliance and our joint forces. As President Trump has stated, the United States does not seek war, but let me be clear we will act swiftly and decisively when our people, our partners or our interests are threatened. Iran should listen to the United States and know that he means it.”

Caine also spoke to the fact that not only were deceptive measures used, but very, very few people knew what was planned:

“At approximately 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time last night and just prior to the strike package entering Iran, a U.S. submarine in the Central Command area of responsibility launched more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles against key surface infrastructure targets as often as the Operation Midnight Hammer strike package entered Iranian airspace,” Caine said. “The U.S. employed several deception tactics.” 

“This was a highly classified mission with very few people in Washington knowing the timing or nature of this plan,” he continued. “I’ll refer you to the graphic on the side as I walk you through some of the operational details. At midnight Friday into Saturday morning, a large B-2 strike package, comprised of bombers, launched from the continental United States as part of the plan to maintain tactical surprise. Part of the package proceeded to the west and into the Pacific as a decoy. A deception effort, known only to an extremely small number of planners and key leaders here in Washington and in Tampa.” 

It is too early to verify that Iran’s nuclear capabilities are destroyed, but given the firepower launched on its sites, it’s a good bet they are kaput unless they have assistance from North Korea, China, and Russia.

Iran vows vengeance and war, turns to Russia

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi labeled Trump as a “lawless bully” who “betrayed” diplomacy. He is threatening that the world is now in an “unprecedented level of danger” due to the bombings. Iran is still hitting Israel with missiles after America’s defensive attack.

Araghchi stated that he’ll travel to Moscow later Sunday to meet with Putin, with whom Iran enjoys “a strategic partnership.”

Chinese President Xi Jinping accused Trump of violating international peace, and the UK’s socialist Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged for de-escalation.

As socialists, communists, Islamists, dictators, the majority of Democrats, and evil entities in general tear out their hair and scream bloody hell over America attempting to stop the existential threat of a nuclear Iran, Russia said, “Hold my beer.”

Former President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia (who is nothing more than a mouthpiece for President Vladimir Putin) threatened that other countries could supply Iran with nuclear warheads:

What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?

1. Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage.

2. The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.

3. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.

4. Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking.

5. The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.

6. Iran’s political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger.

7. The people are rallying around the country’s spiritual leadership, including those who were previously indifferent or opposed to it.

8. Donald Trump, once hailed as ‘president of peace,’ has now pushed the US into another war.

9. The vast majority of countries around the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States.

10. At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize — not even with how rigged it has become. What a way to kick things off, Mr. President. Congratulations!

Conservatives laud Trump for his bold leadership

Despite threats from America’s enemies and spineless world leaders, Republicans and one cheeky Democrat cheered Trump’s move to contain Iran.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) applauded Trump’s decisive move and leadership:

The military operations in Iran should serve as a clear reminder to our adversaries and allies that President Trump means what he says. The President gave Iran’s leader every opportunity to make a deal, but Iran refused to commit to a nuclear disarmament agreement. President Trump has been consistent and clear that a nuclear-armed Iran will not be tolerated. That posture has now been enforced with strength, precision, and clarity. The President’s decisive action prevents the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, which chants “Death to America,” from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet. This is America First policy in action. God bless our brave men and women in uniform – the most lethal fighting force on the planet – as we pray for their safe return home. May God bless America.

The chairs of the Senate and House intelligence committees also supported Trump’s decision:

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) praised the President for the move against Iran:

As the conflict grows and expands, so too do the direct threats to America which could pull it into a protracted war.

The Daily Wire is reporting that the Iranian Parliament has approved the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. If that happens, there will be war, as it is the primary passageway for oil to the world, including us.

The Iranian navy could use the island of Kharg to stage attacks to lock down the Strait of Hormuz. At that point, it is conceivable that taking out its navy would be an option for the U.S.

President Trump has left the door open to further attacks on the regime if they refuse to negotiate or attack our forces or Americans.

Iran has vowed not to back down and is enlisting the Axis of Evil (North Korea, China, and Russia) as their allies in the conflict.

War drums are now deafening.
