国防部长赫格塞斯和参谋长联席会议主席凯恩将军披露“午夜之锤”行动细节
美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯和参谋长联席会议主席丹·“拉津”·凯恩在美国完成对伊朗三个关键核设施的袭击后,在五角大楼举行新闻发布会。
五角大楼周日公布了“午夜之锤”行动的细节。这项规模庞大、任务复杂,于周六袭击了伊朗三个关键核设施,并称其为“美国历史上最大规模的B-2轰炸机空袭行动”。
国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯在空袭后首次正式讲话中告诉五角大楼的记者,“此次行动的范围是故意限制的”,但他补充说,美国军方的能力“几乎是无限的”。
参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军详细介绍了此次行动的时间表,以及袭击伊朗福尔多、纳坦兹和伊斯法罕核设施时所采用的欺骗战术。
“诡计”——诱饵飞行于美国东部时间周六凌晨 12:01 起飞

行动始于周六凌晨 12:01,当时B-2隐形轰炸机从密苏里州怀特曼空军基地起飞。
一些轰炸机作为诱饵向西飞入太平洋。凯恩称这是“只有极少数策划者和关键领导人知道的欺骗行动”。
赫格塞斯和军方高层形容美国对伊朗的打击取得了“令人难以置信的压倒性胜利”。
主力打击——18小时的飞行
凯恩表示,由七架B-2“幽灵”轰炸机组成的主力打击编队,每架载有两名机组人员,在极少通讯的情况下,悄无声息地向东飞行,向目标区域进行了18小时的飞行。
该编队中的飞机在飞行过程中多次加油。在陆地上空,该打击编队与中央司令部的护航和支援飞机会合。

凯恩将此次会合描述为“一次复杂、时间紧迫的机动,需要在狭窄空域内跨多个平台进行精确同步,所有这一切都是在极少的通信条件下完成的。”
扫清道路——美国东部时间周六下午5点
美国东部时间下午5点左右(伊朗时间凌晨12:30),随着主力打击群进入伊朗领空,一艘美国潜艇向伊朗主要水面基础设施目标发射了20多枚“战斧”对陆攻击巡航导弹。
凯恩表示,美军使用了更多欺骗战术,支援飞机以高空高速飞越主力打击群前方,扫荡敌方战斗机和地对空导弹威胁。

当B-2主力打击群接近福尔多和纳坦兹时,支援飞机使用了高速压制武器,以确保其安全通过。
凯恩告诉记者:“我们目前尚未发现任何针对美国打击计划的炮击。”
袭击 - 美国东部时间周六下午 6:40
福尔多核设施于美国东部时间下午 6:40 左右遭到袭击,当时伊朗时间大约是凌晨 2:10。

领头的 B-2 轰炸机向福尔多的几个目标点中的第一个目标投下了两枚 GBU 57 巨型钻地弹(MOP),俗称“地堡炸弹”。
凯恩说,其余轰炸机也击中了目标,共向福尔多和纳坦兹投下了 14 枚 MOP。

美国潜艇发射的战斧导弹是最后一次袭击,击中了位于伊斯法罕的目标。
返程——周六至周日
在此次大规模空袭中投放武器后,飞机离开伊朗领空,返回怀特曼空军基地。凯恩表示,美军并未立即发现该打击群在离开伊朗领空途中遭到任何炮击。
“伊朗战斗机没有起飞,而且看起来伊朗的地对空导弹系统在整个任务过程中都没有发现我们,”凯恩说。“我们保持了出其不意的优势。”

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan 'Razin' Caine hold a press briefing at the Pentagon after the U.S. completed an attack on three key Iranian nuclear sites.
The Pentagon on Sunday shared details about Operation Midnight Hammer, the massive, complicated mission that struck three key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday, calling it the "largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history."
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told reporters at the Pentagon that "the scope of this was intentionally limited" in his first formal remarks following the strikes, though he added that the capabilities of the American military "are nearly unlimited."
Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, detailed the operation’s timeline and the deception tactics employed that went into striking Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities.

The operation commenced when B-2 stealth bombers launched from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri at 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning.
Some of the bombers flew to the west and into the Pacific as a decoy. Caine called it a "deception effort known only to an extremely small number of planners and key leaders."

The main strike force of seven B-2 Spirit bombers, each with two crew members, flew silently eastward with minimal communications as it undertook the 18-hour flight to the target area, Caine said.
The aircraft in the group were refueled multiple times while in flight. When overland, the strike group linked up with escort and support aircraft from Central Command.

Caine described the link-up as "a complex, tightly timed maneuver requiring exact synchronization across multiple platforms in a narrow piece of airspace, all done with minimal communications."
Around 5 p.m. ET (12:30 a.m. in Iran), a U.S. submarine launched more than two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles against key surface infrastructure targets as the main strike force entered Iranian airspace.
More deception tactics were used, Caine said, and support aircraft pushed out in front of the main strike group at a high altitude and speed to sweep for enemy fighters and surface-to-air missile threats.

As the B-2 main strike group approached Fordow and Natanz, support aircraft used high-speed suppression weapons to ensure its safe passage.
"We are currently unaware of any shots fired at the U.S. strike package on the way in," Caine told reporters.
The Fordow nuclear facility was struck at around 6:40 p.m. EST, or about 2:10 a.m. in Iran.

The lead B-2 dropped two GBU 57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) weapons, commonly known as bunker-busters, on the first of several aim points at Fordow.
The remaining bombers also hit their targets, with a total of 14 MOPs dropped on Fordow and Natanz, Caine said.

The Tomahawk missiles launched by U.S. submarines were the last to strike, hitting their targets at Isfahan.
After releasing their weapons in the massive strike, the aircraft exited Iranian airspace to return home to Whiteman Air Force Base. Caine said the U.S. military was not immediately aware of any shots being fired at the strike group on its way out of Iranian airspace.
"Iran's fighters did not fly, and it appears that Iran's surface-to-air missile systems did not see us throughout the mission," Caine said. "We retained the element of surprise."

Operation Midnight Hammer used more than 125 aircraft in the mission, including seven B-2 stealth bombers, multiple fourth and fifth generation fighters, dozens of air refueling tankers, a guided missile submarine and "a full array" of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft, Caine said.

U.S. forces launched approximately 75 precision-guided munitions, including 14 GBU 57 massive Ordnance penetrators, which weigh 30,000 pounds each. The operation marked the first-ever operational use of this weapon, Caine said.
Caine called the operation the "largest B-2 operational strike in U.S. history," and that "no other military in the world could have done this."
"This mission demonstrates the unmatched reach, coordination and capability of the United States military in just a matter of weeks," Caine said. "This went from strategic planning to global execution."
Caine also said this was the second-longest B-2 mission ever flown, exceeded only by missions flown in the days following 9/11.
