125 Jets, B-2 Bombers And A Decoy Plan: Inside Trump's 'Operation Midnight Hammer' Against Iran

Last Updated: Operation Midnight Hammer, which involved 125 aircraft and several B-2 bombers, also included a deception plan that likely gave the US Army a strategic advantage against Iran Operation Midnight Hammer: The world witnessed US intervention in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict on Sunday, as strikes were carried out on Tehran's key nuclear sites under the codename 'Operation Midnight Hammer'. But the operation, which involved 125 aircraft and several B-2 bombers, also included a deception plan that likely gave the US Army a strategic advantage during its strikes on Iran. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, said the American forces used several B-2 Spirit stealth bombers during the operation to destroy Iran's buried network of nuclear research facilities. 'At midnight Friday into Saturday morning, a large B2 strike package comprised of bombers launched from the continental US," he said during a press briefing at the White House. How US Deceived Iranian Intelligence Caine said that, to maintain a tactical surprise, part of the main strike package was directed westward into the Pacific as a 'decoy"—a deception effort known only to an 'extremely small number of planners and key leaders in Washington and in Tampa." Here's a detailed explanation of Washington's 'decoy" plan against Iran: Deception Strategy: A portion of the strike package was directed westward into the Pacific Ocean as a decoy, creating the illusion of a different operational focus. This move helped preserve tactical surprise. Final Approach and Coordination: Upon entering Iranian airspace, the B-2s linked up with escort and support aircraft in a precisely timed and complex manoeuvre, requiring exact synchronisation across multiple platforms in a narrow corridor of airspace. Further detailing the operation, Caine noted that this level of tight integration with minimal communication highlights the 'unmatched coordination capabilities of the U.S. joint force." He further issued a stern warning to Iran, saying: 'Our forces remain on high alert, and are fully postured to respond to any Iranian retaliation or proxy attacks which would be an incredibly poor choice. We will defend ourselves. The safety of our service members and civilians remains our highest priority." Meanwhile, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth called Washington's 'Operation Midnight Hammer' against Iran an 'overwhelming success", adding that they 'devastated" Iranian nuclear facilities at multiple locations.

Railway police chiefs deliberate upon crime control, passenger safety

New Delhi, The Government Railway Police and the Railway Protection Force deliberated upon enhancing passenger safety by leveraging modern technologies during the 6th All-India Conference that concluded here on Sunday. Railway police chiefs deliberate upon crime control, passenger safety Officials said the Railway Protection Force comes under the railway ministry with a mandate to ensure safety of passengers and rail properties, while the Government Railway Police is under state governments to coordinate with the RPF and investigate cases of crime. According to a press statement issued by the railway ministry, the All-India Conference of Government Railway Police chiefs, organised under the aegis of RPF, witnessed the participation of DGPs, ADGPs, and senior officers from the GRP of various states and union territories, alongside representatives from the Ministry of Railways. 'This important gathering marked a concerted effort to address the growing challenges of crime control on Indian Railways and to strengthen collective mechanisms to ensure the safety and security of millions of railway passengers commuting daily through its vast network," the press note said. It added, "The central theme of the conference revolved around enhancing intelligence sharing, formulating joint operational strategies and fine-tuning inter-agency coordination to counter the evolving modus operandi of criminal elements exploiting the vast railway network." The ministry said a key focus area was the intensification of passenger awareness campaigns to educate travellers on common tricks and traps employed by thieves and fraudsters. "The conference resolved to push for the seamless conversion of passenger property theft complaints lodged on the Rail Madad portal into formal FIRs, thereby boosting detection rates and discouraging repeat offences," the ministry said. In a bid to dismantle organised interstate criminal networks targeting high-value passenger belongings, the police chiefs held detailed deliberations on deploying proactive surveillance, coordinated operations across states, and leveraging technology-backed solutions, including facial recognition systems. "The necessity of a unified response system among GRP units of different states and UTs was strongly emphasised to prevent jurisdictional gaps that are often exploited by the offenders," the press note said. "Special attention was devoted to the worrying trend of crimes against women passengers, with the participants agreeing on robust preventive measures, including targeted patrolling, CCTV cameras in stations and coaches and deployment of Meri Saheli teams to enhance the sense of security among women travellers,' it added.
