i24 News unveiled a striking AI-generated video that recreates the U.S. military operation dubbed "Operation Midnight Hammer," targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow and Natanz. The video offers a vivid portrayal of the historic airstrike, the first direct U.S. action against Iran’s nuclear program, capturing the intensity and precision of the assault as reported in real-time communications.

The AI footage centers on six B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, which dropped 14 massive bunker-busting bombs, each weighing 13 tons, on Iran’s nuclear sites. According to Daphna Liel, 12 bombs struck Fordow, a heavily fortified uranium enrichment facility buried deep under a mountain near Qom, while two targeted Natanz, another key enrichment site.

The video depicts the B-2s gliding silently through the night, releasing their GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs, which detonate with earth-shaking force, sending clouds of dust and debris billowing from the impact sites.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stating it was the largest B-2 mission ever and the second-longest flight for these aircraft since the 9/11 attacks.

The operation’s success is highlighted by the absence of reported U.S. losses, with all aircraft returning safely. However, Iran’s claim of evacuating enriched uranium from Fordow 48 hours prior suggests the facility’s deep underground structure may have partially survived the bombardment.
