US B-2 Pilots Return After Successful Iran Nuclear Strikes

President Donald Trump praised the B-2 stealth bomber pilots for their flawless nighttime strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, describing the hits as "magnificent" and perfectly executed without any light or moon. He criticized CNN and other media outlets for downplaying the success, calling their coverage disrespectful to the pilots who flew through significant danger. The bombers, part of "Operation Midnight Hammer," targeted facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, using Massive Ordnance Penetrators to destroy hardened underground structures. Trump thanked the pilots upon their safe return to Missouri and shared footage of their landing, emphasizing the monumental damage inflicted on Iran's nuclear capabilities. The mission involved over 125 aircraft, with B-2 bombers deployed from Whiteman Air Force Base, and signals a potential escalation as Trump considers further actions in the Israel-Iran conflict. Additionally, Trump indicated he might meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during the NATO summit but declined to preview their discussion.
