An Israeli official tells the Axios news site that to conduct the overnight strike against Iran’s nuclear sites, the US used B-2 stealth bombers, the advanced aircraft known for being capable of delivering huge bunker buster bombs that are potentially capable of destroying Iran’s underground nuclear facility in Fordo.

Hours earlier, open-source flight trackers showed that a number of B-2 bombers were heading from the US toward Guam in the Pacific Ocean.

Given that those bombers would have needed more time to reach Iran, it appears that other ones were used in tonight’s strike.
