据环球时报报道，一名美国官员告诉美国有线电视新闻网 (CNN)，美国动用6架B-2轰炸机向伊朗福尔道核设施投掷了12枚“掩体炸弹”。
此外，美国海军潜艇还向纳坦兹和伊斯法罕的核设施发射了30枚“战斧”巡航导弹。
The US used six B-2 bombers to drop a dozen “bunker buster” bombs on the Fordow nuclear site, a US official told CNN. Fox News host Sean Hannity said Tomahawk missiles from US submarines struck the Natanz and Isfahan sites.

美媒所说的“掩体炸弹”，即GBU-57A/B巨型钻地炸弹 (MOP)，重达30000磅（约合13.6吨），装有6000磅（约合2.7吨）炸药。
The bombs used in the strikes were GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators, known as a “bunker busters”, two sources familiar with the operation said. Experts have highlighted them as the only type of bomb potentially capable of destroying Iran’s underground Fordow nuclear facility.
根据美国空军的情况说明书，MOP的设计目的是“接触并摧毁对手位于严密保护设施中的大规模杀伤性武器”。这是该型号炸弹首次投入实战。

此前，美国官员和专家表示，“掩体炸弹”是唯一能够摧毁福尔道地下核设施的武器，该核设施建在山上并延伸到地下深处。美国空军的B-2轰炸机是唯一能够实际使用这种炸弹的飞机。
The MOP — a 30,000-pound bomb with 6,000 pounds of explosives — was designed for “reaching and destroying our adversaries’ weapons of mass destruction located in well-protected facilities,” according to a fact sheet from the US Air Force.
The B-2 is the only aircraft in the US inventory that can carry the GBU-57A/B.
Saturday is the first known instance of the bomb being used operationally.
据CNN报道，伊朗福尔道核设施历来被视为敏感目标，此前多届美国政府虽曾考虑打击，最终均放弃行动。特朗普此次直接下令攻击，使其深陷不断升级的中东危机漩涡，而此前他曾主张通过外交途径化解矛盾。
The move to target the Fordow facility in particular, which successive US presidents had considered but ultimately decided against, will now insert Trump directly into a growing crisis that he had once hoped to defuse through diplomacy.
