Reports indicate a US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress entered Saudi airspace and activated its radar while heading toward Iran, as expectations grow for new strikes within hours. The reports come amid fresh warnings from US and Israeli officials, and threats from Iranian leaders. The Home Front Command says defensive guidelines are unchanged through June 14.
A US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress has reportedly entered Saudi airspace and activated its radar while heading toward Iran, according to unverified reports circulating on social media and cited by the source Israel RealTime Updates. The reports suggest that a new wave of US airstrikes on Iran may begin within the next two hours, part of the ongoing 'Operation Epic Fury.'
As The Zioneer reported at 18:58 on June 10, a B-52 bomber had already landed in Bahrain amid an Iranian missile barrage. Earlier, at 18:29, we reported that multiple B-52s had taken off from Diego Garcia toward Iran. The new report of a bomber entering Saudi airspace represents a further evolution of the campaign's operational posture.
US and Israeli figures have signaled escalation. US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said: 'Things may get a bit spicy in the neighborhood soon.' A US official told Axios that 'the White House warned Iran that time was running out.' Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said: 'The campaign against Iran is far from over. If Iran attacks Israel, it will suffer a severe blow... The IDF is prepared to strike Iran with great force.'
Iranian leaders have responded with defiance. Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated: 'We're not afraid of fighting losers.' President Masoud Pezeshkian said Iran would stand firm against pressure or threats.
Israel's Home Front Command announced after a situational assessment that defensive guidelines remain unchanged and in effect until Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 20:00.
The reported B-52 movement, the official statements, and the unchanging civil-defense posture are all separate facets of the same ongoing escalation thread — the US-Israel-Iran military campaign. This bulletin reports the new B-52 position as the distinct event; the other developments provide the official context.
