Operation Midnight Hammer was designed as a power to attack. The US carried out this high-stick attack with the help of accurate drone and cyber-description equipment with the aim of weakening Iran's nuclear capacity. However, according to the latest reports, this mission was only partially successful. Of the three nuclear sites that were targeted, only one suffered severe damage from which this operation became a major shock for American strategic purposes.
Military experts and analysts are now questioning the reliability of the intelligence that fed into the operation and whether execution gaps undermined its effectiveness. The two undamaged sites reportedly resumed normal activity within 48 hours, casting doubt on the overall impact of the assault.
Inside the Pentagon, there’s frustration. This wasn't just about sending a warning it was about sending a message. But when only a third of the plan hits the mark, that message loses volume.
People close to the operation defended the intent and called it a “first wave” approach. Still, for many observers, this partial success exposes vulnerabilities not in capability, but in coordination.
Iran, meanwhile, has denied any major damage and has used the event to rally nationalist sentiment. This attack on global forums has once again given a wind to debate on pre-preponderant military action vs. diplomacy.
What is clear is that Operation Midnight Hammer, even though he was courageous in its objective, but he missed the implementation - and this has already created a need for a review of strategies in the already sensitive region.
