The United States deployed six GBU‑57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs via B‑2 Spirit stealth bombers in airstrikes targeting Iran’s heavily fortified Fordow uranium‑enrichment facility near Qom . Each 30,000‑lb bomb is engineered to penetrate deep underground—up to 200 ft of earth or 18 m of concrete . President Trump publicly confirmed the operation, which also included 30 Tomahawk missiles aimed at Natanz and Esfahan nuclear sites . Despite the show of force, experts caution the bombs may not fully neutralize Fordow’s deeply buried structures.
