According to the American leader, the entire stockpile of bombs was dropped on Iran's main nuclear facility, Fordow.
In addition, it is indicated that all crews returned home safely.
What is important to understand is that Fordow is Iran's most secure nuclear complex, located deep underground.
As the Pentagon told reporters, it was struck by B-2 strategic bombers. It is possible that they used special ammunition capable of penetrating this type of fortification.
