In a powerful joint operation on day 28 of the 2026 US-Iran war, U.S. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers and Israeli strike aircraft have delivered a devastating coordinated attack on Iran’s critical underground missile tunnel network, dealing a major setback to Tehran’s ballistic missile program.

The precision strikes targeted heavily fortified tunnel complexes in central and western Iran, where Tehran stores and launches its most advanced weapons — including the 2-ton hypersonic missiles and Al-Qadr ballistic missiles recently used against U.S. naval forces and Israeli cities. Multiple mᴀssive explosions rocked the sites as deep-penetrating bunker-buster munitions collapsed tunnel entrances and destroyed internal storage chambers. Thick smoke and secondary detonations continued for hours, indicating significant damage to Iran’s hidden missile infrastructure.

U.S. Central Command described the operation as “highly successful,” stating that several key tunnels used for protecting and firing long-range missiles have been rendered inoperable. Israeli officials confirmed their fighter jets provided critical support in suppressing Iranian air defenses during the B-2 raid.

This major counterstrike comes just one day after Iran’s Al-Qadr missile successfully hit a U.S. Aircraft Carrier Strike Group in the Strait of Hormuz. It also follows Iran’s earlier victories: the downing of three F-22 Raptors, destruction of five U.S. KC-135 tankers at Prince Sultan Air Base, devastating cluster attacks on Tel Aviv, and the fiery destruction of large US and Israeli weapons stockpiles.

U.S. Central Command reports nearly 200 American troops injured across the theater with 13 confirmed deaths. President Donald Trump praised the mission, calling it “a very strong and precise answer” to Iran’s aggression and stating that “Iran’s missile tunnels are no longer safe.”

The USS Tripoli continues operations near Iran’s coast to help reopen the critical Strait of Hormuz, where burning tankers still disrupt global shipping. Brent crude remains above $112 per barrel amid ongoing uncertainty.

With this coordinated blow to Iran’s underground missile network, the United States and Israel have demonstrated their ability to strike deep into fortified Iranian territory and degrade Tehran’s most dangerous capabilities.

The war remains extremely intense as both sides continue high-tempo operations.
