Fox News Pentagon correspondent Jennifer Griffin credited President Donald Trump, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the military with the operational security around the strikes on Iran’s nuclear facility.

“My phone has been ringing off the hook, but what I would say is that it’s notable how much deception was involved in this operation,
 she said on Fox News after the attack.

“All eyes were looking west toward Guam and the B-2s that took off late last night toward Guam. It’s possible that the distance there would suggest that the B-2s may have also flown east from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri,” the correspondent said.

“Remember, the air refuelers—many of them were placed in Europe and in the Middle East—and that is what is known as an air refueling bridge. All of those B-2s would require much air refueling in order to make it. They usually fly round-trip from Whiteman. And so what we can say—and the president said this in his Truth Social post—is that a full payload of bombs, those massive ordnance penetrators, the 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs, were dropped at Fordow,” she said.

“As we have reported, there are two entrances to Fordow, so at least two bombs at each entrance, which suggests at least two B-2s were involved over Fordow. My suspicion is that there were more. And then you have the two other sites: Natanz, which also has an underground enrichment facility. The Israelis had not been able to reach or take out that facility despite the last 10 days of bombing. And so now, U.S. warplanes—likely another B-2 bomber—had dropped that MOP, the 30,000-pound bunker buster, on Natanz,” the correspondent said.

“Then you also have Isfahan, a third site south of Tehran, and that is also a very significant enrichment facility. So those B-2 bombers—it’s possible that as everybody was looking west for the B-2s flying toward Guam, in fact there was another package, a squadron of B-2s, that were flying east from Whiteman. It’s about a 15-hour trip from Whiteman in Missouri to the Middle East, to Iran. And those bombers often fly round-trip. It takes them about 30 hours to get home, but they are out of danger tonight. They are not in Iranian airspace anymore, according to the president,” Griffin said.

“The other thing I can point out is that this is an operation—in the last 18 years since I’ve been at the Pentagon—I’ve never seen such operational security. There was nobody speaking about this, any of the preparations. There was a complete lockdown—almost a blackout—of information for the last few days,” she said.

“I’m sitting here in the Pentagon right now. I can tell you the hallways are empty. All of the information is coming right now out of the White House. That is a significant achievement because there were no leaks about the timing,” she said.
