The air war over Iran has reached a critical climax as the U.S. Air Force deployed B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to drop specialized Bunker-Buster bombs on the regime’s most fortified nuclear installations. As of March 9, 2026, Operation Epic Fury has expanded its target list to include deeply buried facilities previously thought to be “invulnerable.”
Targeting the Core: Multiple strikes have been confirmed at the Fordow and Natanz enrichment sites. Heavy GBU-57 Mᴀssive Ordnance Penetrators (MOP) were utilized to collapse underground halls housing thousands of centrifuges and the 460kg of 60% enriched uranium.
Seismic Impacts: Residents in central Iran reported ground tremors equivalent to a mid-range earthquake following the impact of the 30,000-pound munitions.
Regional Spread: As the nuclear sites burn, the conflict is spilling across borders. Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria have launched retaliatory drone swarms against U.S. bases, while Israel has intercepted dozens of missiles launched from Lebanon.
