US EditionU.S. Begins Overland B-52 Missions Over Iran as Air Superiority Grows
Defense officials said more than 11,000 targets were struck in 30 days as degraded Iranian air defenses allowed the first overland B-52 missions.
- On Tuesday, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine announced that B-52 Stratofortress bombers have begun overland missions over Iran for the first time since the conflict started in late February.
- American and Israeli forces have systematically degraded Iranian air defenses and missile capabilities, enabling heavy bombers to operate safely within the country's airspace with increased air superiority.
- Previously, U.S. forces relied on stealth and speed with the B-2 and B-1 to minimize exposure to Iranian air defenses, firing standoff weapons from distance.
- This escalation coincides with President Donald Trump's ten-day ultimatum for Iran to accept a peace agreement or face strikes against the nation's energy infrastructure.
- War Secretary Pete Hegseth recently visited troops involved in Operation Epic Fury, signaling that Washington anticipates intensifying hostilities if Tehran fails to meet the administration's terms.
