The United States military has reportedly resumed the use of B-1 Lancer strategic bombers in its operations targeting Iranian-linked assets, according to recent claims.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that the news outlet Axios, citing US officials, indicated that the US has redeployed B-1 bombers to conduct strikes against targets associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
According to the information, the aircraft departed from a military airbase in the United Kingdom. Flight tracking platforms monitored the aircraft's trajectory, observing their presence over the region. While the US previously confirmed the use of B-1 bombers during strikes against Iranian-linked targets on February 28, there had been no official confirmation regarding their deployment in operations that commenced 12 days ago.
The B-1 Lancer, a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber, is a cornerstone of the US Air Force's long-range strike capability. Known for its ability to carry a significant payload of conventional weapons, the B-1 has been frequently utilized in Middle Eastern theaters of operation to project power and conduct precision strikes against designated military targets, reflecting the strategic importance of these assets in current US regional security policy.
