US B-2 bombers were involved in strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites announced by President Donald Trump today, a US official tells Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Reuters had reported earlier in the day the movement of B-2 bombers, which can be equipped to carry massive bombs that experts say would be ideal to strike the sites.
