Timeline: How US Conducted Bombings on Iranian Nuclear Sites
- The US military launched Operation Midnight Hammer early Sunday morning, striking Iran's key underground nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan from bases including Missouri and submarines near Iran.

- The mission inflicted substantial damage on Iran’s nuclear program without provoking any Iranian counterattacks, but the US cautioned that it is prepared to conduct additional operations should Iran respond aggressively or restart its nuclear activities, leaving the future of regional stability and potential consequences unclear.
