In late June 2025, the U.S. Air Force launched Operation Midnight Hammer — a high-stakes, coordinated strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. This mission combined stealth bombers, cruise missiles, electronic warfare, and fifth-generation fighters. Central to its success was the role played by the F-35A Lightning II.
