US used B-2 bombers in the air strikes
According to Reuters, a US official confirmed that B-2 stealth bombers were used in the strikes. On Friday night, multiple B-2 bombers were seen taking off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and heading west, reported CNN.
By Saturday, the aircraft had been seen flying over the Pacific Ocean, allegedly heading toward Guam. The report went on to note that the B-2 Spirit bombers can carry the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which is a 30,000-pound "bunker buster" bomb, believed to be the only weapon capable of breaching Iran's heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility.
Each B-2 is capable of transporting two of these bombs.
