How Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' eerily foreshadowed Trump's stealth bomb raid on Iran's nuclear lab Donald Trump's unprecedented airstrikes deep within Iranian territory have opened a floodgate of comparisons to a Tom Cruise blockbuster. The 2022 'Top Gun' sequel, 'Top Gun: Maverick,' trended on social media over the weekend for its similarities to the president's Operation Midnight Hammer. Taking place decades after the original 1986 film, the second installment features Crusie's protagonist, Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell, returning to the armed forces to prepare a new class of Navy pilots for a mission far behind enemy lines. The mission: destroy a massive underground uranium enrichment facility before the unnamed hostile nation can create a nuclear weapon. And just like the ones Trump hit over the weekend, the labs were located deep underground in a mountainous region guarded by surface-to-air missiles and next- generation fighter jets. Both missions were carried out by the latest high-tech stealth aircraft, including B-2 spirit stealth bombers and a number of 4th and 5th generation fighter jets. Perhaps most odd of all - both operations involved laser-guided bombs targeting ventilation shafts to reach the subterranean facilities. 'This Iran bombing raid of the nuclear sites included dropping bunker busters into the facilities’ AIR VENTS,' journalist Raymond Arroyo posted on X. 'Did someone watch Top Gun Maverick during planning?!' Trump called the U.S. strikes on Iran a 'spectacular military success'
