B-2 Bombers Target Iranian Revolutionary Guard in 36-Hour Mission

B-2 bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base carried out a nonstop 36-hour mission over the weekend. They struck an underground compound where commanders from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard had reportedly gathered.

The strike and the order

An unidentified U.S. official told Filmogaz.com that Adm. Brad Cooper ordered the attack. Intelligence indicated a nexus of senior IRGC leaders was meeting at the site.

The bombers released GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators. These 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs are built to defeat deeply fortified structures.

Flight and previous operations

The B-2s flew roughly a 7,000-mile round trip for this sortie. The same weapon helped power last June’s Operation Midnight Hammer.

During that operation, bunker busters struck three Iranian nuclear installations. The latest mission followed a similar long-range trajectory.

Aircraft, payload and capabilities

The B-2’s flying-wing design aids stealth and reduces detection. Its payload capacity allows strikes at depths beyond conventional munitions.

Other long-range platforms also took part in the campaign. Pentagon officials said B-1 and B-52 bombers played prominent roles.

Campaign scale and concurrent events

At the six-week mark of the assault, CENTCOM reported over 13,000 targets struck across Iran. The campaign has involved sustained strikes nationwide.

The B-2 operation coincided with a search-and-rescue for two U.S. airmen. The pilots ejected from a fighter jet over Iranian territory on Friday.

Officials described the extraction as complex. Hundreds of personnel assisted in the recovery, the president later said.

Political messaging and responses

President Donald Trump compared the rescue to a Hollywood scene during a White House briefing. He also warned that U.S. forces had wide-ranging options.

Trump threatened to target Iranian critical infrastructure, listing bridges and power plants as potential targets. He later posted a dire warning on Truth Social.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Filmogaz.com that only the president knows his next moves. The comment followed the president’s escalating rhetoric.
