The U.S. Air Force is moving to restock one of the world’s most powerful bombs — the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator. These bunker-busting bombs were used for the first time in combat during Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025, striking deeply buried Iranian nuclear facilities. Now, the Pentagon says it’s urgently replenishing its supply. But why, and what does this mean for global security? Let’s break it down.

In June 2025, seven B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropped 14 GBU-57 bombs on Iran’s most secure nuclear sites. 12 bombs targeted the Fordow uranium enrichment plant, and 2 hit the Natanz facility. The strike was part of a massive mission involving more than 125 aircraft, including F-35 escorts, aerial refueling tankers, and even a barrage of submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles hitting the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center.
