The U.S. Used Its Biggest Bunker Busters in Warfare for the First Time
The U.S. bombers that attacked Iran's nuclear sites dropped GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, bunker-busting bombs designed to destroy hardened underground targets, for the first time in warfare. A dozen of the bombs were dropped on the Fordow enrichment facility, which is buried under a mountain, and another two were used against the enrichment site at Natanz, a defense official said. Tomahawk cruise missiles also were fired from submarines at Natanz and Isfahan, the official said.
