U.S. Deploys Bunker‑Buster Bombs Against Iran’s Hidden Facilities | Global Watch News

The United States has launched Operation Epic Fury, utilizing B-2 Spirit stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base to strike fortified underground facilities in Isfahan, Iran. These precision strikes targeted Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) assets, specifically subterranean ammunition depots near the Badr military airbase. By deploying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP), U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) successfully penetrated targets buried 200 feet deep, triggering significant secondary explosions that destroyed strategic military infrastructure.

This tactical escalation aims to neutralize nuclear infrastructure and military assets previously deemed unreachable. While the Pentagon maintains that the mission is precision-oriented, Tehran has condemned the strikes as a violation of sovereignty. Analysts at Global Watch News suggest that the use of these bunker-buster munitions, featuring advanced delayed-action fuse technology, signals a transformative shift in the Middle East strategic landscape. As the international community remains on high alert, the success of this campaign may redefine modern subterranean warfare.
