At around 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday, shortly before the plane entered Iranian airspace, a U.S. submarine launched a large number of Tomahawk missiles against targets at the attack site in Isfahan. As the bombers approached their targets, the U.S. used “several deception tactics, including decoys,” and fighter jets cleared the airspace ahead of them, checking for enemy aircraft and surface-to-air missiles.

At approximately 6:40 p.m. Eastern Time, or 2:10 a.m. in Iran, the lead B-2 dropped two "bunker-buster" bombs known as GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, or MOPs, on the attack site at Fordow. Over the next 25 minutes, a total of 14 MOPs would be dropped on targets at Fordow and Natanz. The Tomahawk missiles fell on Isfahan after the bombs were dropped on the other two sites.

The Isfahan facility was hit with multiple Tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles (TLAMs) launched from a single submarine somewhere in the region. Although it was not explicitly stated at today's briefing, the only ships in U.S. service with the capability to launch that many TLAMs at once are the U.S. Navy's four Ohio-class nuclear-powered guided missile submarines, or SSGNs./CNA
