ALBAWABA - US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine revealed the name of the operation targeting nuclear facilities in Iran - "Midnight Hammer." 

According to Dan Caine: "The U.S. employed deception tactics against Iran as it moved toward the strike. Currently, we are not aware of any fire directed at American fighter jets on their way to Iran." 

He also noted that "all three nuclear facilities that were attacked suffered significant damage and destruction. Forces remain on high alert. This was the largest B-2 stealth operation in U.S. history."

US President Donald Trump said that the country's forces had attacked three Iranian nuclear sites in a "very successful attack".

"We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan," Trump revealed via Truth Social, adding that the military planes were now on their way home.
