B-2 bombers dropped a number of Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs -- known as "bunker busters" -- during the U.S. mission over Iran, a U.S. official confirmed.
A number of Tomahawk cruise missiles were also fired at targets inside Iran from a U.S. Navy submarine, the official confirmed.
Following the strikes, Trump addressed the nation, calling it a "spectacular military success."
Multiple B-2 stealth bombers head for Guam: Sources
Multiple B-2 stealth bombers were headed to Guam Saturday, according to two sources familiar with their movements.
At this point, the U.S. aircraft have no orders beyond that, the sources said.
Eight refueling tankers took off just before midnight in Oklahoma and flew over Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico before turning around and landing at the same base they took off. In addition, three more refueling tankers took off from Hawaii around 10:20 a.m. Saturday morning and then turned off their transponders and disappeared from radar.

Trump rebuke of Gabbard is 'shocking,' Sen. Reed says
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., told ABC News that President Donald Trump’s rebuke of his own intelligence chief is "shocking" and suggested Trump is disavowing his intelligence community for political reasons.
"It’s shocking to me that the president would dismiss his intelligence chief, who he picked," Reed, who is a ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told ABC News.
"This might not be a question of intelligence. This might be a question of political positioning, regardless of the intelligence," Reed said.
Weeks ago, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified that the intelligence community continues to assess "Iran is not building a nuclear weapon, and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003."
On Friday, Trump said both Gabbard and his intelligence community are flat out "wrong."

Trump is "in a position now where he’s contemplating an attack against Iran, and he has to have the conclusion that they do in fact have a nuclear – or the capacity to develop a nuclear weapon very quickly and the intent to do so – so that I think is prompting him to reject the intelligence community’s conclusions," Reed said.
Reed added that if Gabbard made a false statement in her testimony, “there would be an obligation to correct the record immediately, not just in the wake of this activity by the Israelis to suddenly conclude that she was totally wrong.”
