Iran Nuclear Facilities Damaged: Operation Midnight Hammer

June 22, 2025January 27, 2026

On June 22 at night, the United States joined Israel in the war against Iran. Iran nuclear facilities damaged in this operation represent a turning point in Middle Eastern security. They completed their minimum task and did what Israel physically couldn’t do. The US used heavy bunker-buster bombs on the Fordow nuclear complex. According to some data, they also flew to the nuclear facility in Natanz. In addition, about two dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles hit nuclear infrastructure in Isfahan and Natanz. There’s no final clarity yet about the strike configuration. The American press produces several versions, and the numbers never match.

Fox News reported that the American attack on Fordow dropped six bunker-buster bombs. They launched 30 Tomahawk-type cruise missiles at other nuclear facilities. According to the report, “Iran’s nuclear ambitions are officially dead” after US Air Force B-2 bombers “completely destroyed” the secret Fordow facility. It’s also reported that two other nuclear facilities — in Natanz and Isfahan — were attacked and destroyed using about 30 Tomahawk missiles. US submarines launched them from a distance of approximately 650 kilometers. According to this data, strategic B-2 bombers delivered heavy bunker-buster bombs to the drop site.

CNN provided a different version: the US dropped 12 bunker-buster bombs on the underground nuclear facility in Fordow using six B-2 bombers, not six bombs as Fox News reported. Then an American source, cited in American media, provided a third version: six B-2 bombers dropped 12 heavy bunker-buster bombs on the nuclear facility in Fordow. An additional bomber dropped two more bunker-buster bombs on the facility in Natanz.

The Strike Only America Could Execute

In any case, the US Air Force worked out missile and bomb strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities exactly as only they could do it. Everything that could be done with “light” ammunition, the IDF completed a week ago. The matter was only with heavy ammunition that only the US has.

In addition, Israel practically cleared the space for American strategic bombers from Iranian air defense. But it seems the Americans decided to play it safe. They didn’t start using B-52s, transferred to the region in sufficient numbers. Instead, they worked with B-2 “invisibles.” And possibly, the newest B-21 participated in the raid.

Old Donnie immediately gave a speech in which he, as expected, took all the laurels for defeating the Iranian nuclear program. This isn’t important to us. What’s important is that the nuclear threat to Israel moved from the category of probable to the category of inevitable.

Yes, Israel had options to prevent a nuclear strike by destroying the corresponding missiles at launch. After all, intelligence probably already obtained data about which types of carriers are designated for this task. If so, then of all the launcher options, not that many remain. Therefore, they watched them with increased attention. Most likely, stationary launchers already suffered massive strikes. Mobile ones get destroyed first and foremost where they were detected. All means are thrown at this.

The Extreme Scenarios Israel Faced

In addition, Israel probably had an idea about which launched missiles could carry nuclear warheads. Therefore, all air defense/missile defense work would be concentrated on them. And if now ballistics get shot down in 1/1 mode, that is, one missile — one interceptor missile, if the trajectory leads to populated areas, then a missile that could carry a nuclear warhead would be shot down with two, three, and more interceptor missiles. Moreover, it doesn’t matter where it would fly. After all, most often the detonation of the warhead is set to a certain height above the surface.

Therefore, missiles suspected of having nuclear warheads would be intercepted by missiles of various systems. Moreover, Israeli and American air defense personnel on land and American destroyers — four units standing off the coast of Israel — would work on them at full capacity.

The scenarios described above are too extreme for Israel’s small area. Events of the last week show that achieving 100% ballistic interception doesn’t succeed. Therefore, even one missile with a nuclear warhead, missed by air defense means, would be enough for catastrophic consequences. It’s clear that somewhere at sea in strike positions stand Israeli submarines. They would immediately turn Tehran, Isfahan, and other large Iranian cities into rubble. But this would already be retaliation, not prevention.

And today, exactly what should have happened in this situation happened — Iran nuclear facilities damaged beyond repair. In general, the use of precisely specialized weapons should in principle throw the towelheads’¹ nuclear program decades back. The question remains open about where the half-ton of highly enriched uranium that the IAEA recorded is located.

Iran Nuclear Facilities Damaged: Intelligence Success

Therefore, we’ll simply hope that Mossad had the answer to this question. Because the Americans acted in close cooperation with Israel, most likely it hit precisely “the cashier.” All events developing since June 13 indicate that Israeli intelligence services have if not exhaustive, then sufficient information to designate targets for maximally effective strikes. These ensure the overall success of the operation. Probably during the day there will be more details about precisely this phase of the operation. But already now you can reason about some consequences and realities following from these events.

The first of them is obvious. The destruction of Iran’s nuclear program removes almost the only question to Iran that dragged sanctions and other unpleasant things. This means that now a quite strong turn in relations with Iran can happen. It no longer carries a nuclear threat. This is a new reality both for the main participants of the confrontation and for the world in general. But the main thing is this is a new reality for Iran itself. Just now a period was put on decades of feverish movement toward a nuclear bomb, on which enormous amounts of money were spent. Now all this turned out destroyed, and the money — irretrievably lost.

That is, instead of arranging beauty for themselves, as countries on the other side of the Gulf did, using their oil and gas reserves, Iran invested in rubble. This remained after destroying missile and especially nuclear assets. And after this defeat, the calls of the bearded Towelhead in the style of “Death to America!” or “Death to Israel!” look like the ravings of a deranged senile.

Zugzwang: Iran’s Impossible Position

Now the bearded ones have a classic zugzwang situation. It seems they’re diving into it without fully understanding they came to school, but there’s a second shift. As the Israeli press reports, in response to the American attack, Iran struck… Israel. Overall, it fired 25 ballistic missiles at central Israel. Most were intercepted, but there were hits. Israeli press reports:

Rocket falls were recorded in the center of the country, and there are reports of wounded. In Nes Ziona, three buildings suffered and 10 people received light injuries. In Tel Aviv, two buildings were heavily damaged. Rescuers reported that only ‘mamads’ (protected rooms in residential buildings) survived. Then an additional volley of 10 missiles was made on the north of the country. They report rocket falls in several areas of Haifa. At the same time, the siren in the city didn’t sound. Residents say they ran to the bomb shelter immediately after receiving a warning on their phone, and this saved their lives. According to the latest MADA reports, as a result of the last volleys on Israel, 11 people were injured. One was hospitalized in moderate condition, the rest suffered light injuries.

So far, it’s visible that the towelheads’ courage was enough only for an increased batch of missile strikes on Israel. And what about “Death to America”? Where’s the implementation of loud threats that the beard threatened from under his black towel? After all, now all the neighbors are looking at Iran and making up the real price of its coolness.

But answering with strikes on Americans is scary. Donnie stated that if Iran dares something similar, the limited strike on nuclear facilities will grow into a large-scale one. That is, on all military targets. And if they try to block the Strait of Hormuz, they’ll already get “fuck you” not only from Israel and the USA but also from those willing to unwind the towelheads. And by the way, the Emirates or Arabia also have a mass of expensive military toys. So the sun won’t be visible over Iran from missiles and aircraft.

Therefore, the Towelheads simply draw a picture on TV showing the location of American bases in the region:

Behind the Scenes: Pentagon

And now — some observations, as they say, hot. Over the last ten days, data came from the US that a coup happened in Trump’s team. The “hawks” finally took the upper hand. First of all, we’re talking about high-ranking career military who went around Defense Secretary Hegseth. He became the fifth wheel in the Pentagon. So leaks from the White House said that meetings regarding the Middle Eastern node are conducted without Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard.

This duo has already established itself in the most negative way. Not only do their tongues not stay behind their teeth, but they demonstrate such depths of ignorance that even Donnie himself isn’t capable of reaching. That is, from the process of preparing measures on the Iranian problem, they removed persons who in the professional community of diplomats and military received an indelible, shameful brand. And back then, when a record number of air tankers went from the US to the East, we made an assumption that the military received powers to manage without the defense minister and his operetta mob of stylists and makeup artists.

Actually speaking, the current course of events showed this was the right move. Military and conservative diplomats pushed aside the idiots headed by Moscow parrot Tucker Carlson, who screeched about nukes. This is an important moment. Now Donnie will get drunk on his “feat”. Moreover, in case of anything, now he’ll agree to something similar more easily, and this is good. That is, they pulled him over that barrier of using force that the old man feared simply to diarrhea. And now he might even like it.

Consequences for Ukraine and Beyond

And now — some consequences of this situation that, even if not directly, still concern Ukraine. The first and probably the main one, considering Donnie’s behavioral model, is removing pootin from the Iranian topic as an intermediary. Pootin can no longer sell this topic. And if so, this is the second large-scale catastrophe of pootin’s foreign policy after the fall of Assad’s regime in Syria.

In addition, now the whole world is watching the dismantling not just of Iran’s nuclear program but the destruction of facilities created with the help of China and the Swamps². This can be viewed as an independent value. And for us — the weaker the Swamps’ positions, the better. And today’s Iranian strike on Israeli territory has important significance precisely for us. After all, after American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Israel can already free up its forces and means to destroy other military infrastructure of Iran. Perhaps even those where they manufacture Shaheds.

Well, and the overall result is approximately this. Israel took out of active play Iranian bitches — Hamas and Hezbollah. Serious strikes were delivered on the Houthis. Considering that logistics, for known reasons, will now collapse, the Houthis will come to nothing simply on their own. The Syrian regime fell, and now Iran itself suffers devastating strikes. All this says that the regional agenda is changing beyond recognition before our eyes. And what’s important for us — defeats are suffered by all those whom moscow supported and for whom it stood up. But now moscow is forced to shut up and watch how its own piss flows straight into its own slippers. Iran nuclear facilities damaged in Operation Midnight Hammer demonstrate that the era of regional bullies protected by moscow is over.

¹Towelhead – a derogatory term for supporters of Iran’s regime. Offensive? Yes. Context matters when the same people supply Shahed drones used to kill civilians.

²Swamps – an ironic name for Russia, emphasizing decay, stagnation, and filth. The Commander of the USF, Robert Browdie, and most soldiers use this word.
