A group of elite B-2 Spirit stealth bombers that took flight from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri early on the morning of June 21 headed for Iran, taking part in a mission to bomb three nuclear sites that President Donald Trump revealed hours later.
The B-2 bombers conducted a series of strikes on targets in Iran, a senior Defense official confirmed.
Those targets were Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan in Iran, the president revealed in a social media post just before 8 p.m. ET, saying it was a "very successful attack."

The B-2s, valued at roughly $2 billion a piece, are known not only for their stealth technology, but for their ability to fly long range and carry big "bunker busting" bombs designed to penetrate deeply-buried bunkers and facilities.
