The US military has deployed 'bunker-buster' bombs in its recent attack on Iran's Fordo nuclear fuel enrichment plant. A U.S. official, requesting anonymity, disclosed the use of the massive ordnance at the underground facility.

The GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, weighing 30,000 pounds, is designed to penetrate underground before exploding. This marks the first combat deployment of the bomb, demonstrating its formidable potency.

Additionally, US submarines played a role by launching around 30 Tomahawk land attack missiles at various targets in Iran, including Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites. The specific targets of these missiles remain unclear.
