Counting Craters - the numbers just don't add up [1]

The Trump regime has claimed that during ‘Operation Midnight Hammer’ seven B-2 bombers flew from Whitman AFB in Missouri to Iran, where they dropped 14 MOPs on the Fordo and Natanz nuclear sites in Iran. If that was actually the case, there should be 14 bomb craters. However, in the post operation satellite images, I can count only seven craters.
Satellite photos before and after the attack show six bomb craters at Fordo and just one crater at Natanz. By my math 6+1=7, which is the number of B-2 bombers we are told flew this mission. So what gives? Either the marksmanship was uncanny — and each of the 7 target points resulted in a “Robin Hood” with two bombs precisely hitting each target — with those bomb hitting exactly one atop the other. Or, somebody isn’t being truthful about the bomb count.

I suppose that that the first bomb if laser guided could hit its mark. But once that bomb detonated, it seems unlikely that the second bomb could be similarly guided through the blast debris. Perhaps these bombs have ultra high precision GPS guidance — or the Airforce has cloned Luke Skywalker, you tell me.
A “Robin Hood” in target archery is a rare accomplishment, where one arrow in the bullseye is directly struck by a second arrow in the bullseye.
I cannot fathom why Trump would claim 14 MOPs were used in this operation, when it appears that it was really just seven, but then again Trump isn’t exactly famous for his truthfulness or honesty.
