The United States has deployed a B-1 heavy bomber for the first time in 12 days as part of its ongoing campaign against Iran, striking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets, according to i24NEWS.
The deployment of the B-1 heavy bomber marks a significant escalation in the US military campaign against Iran, which has been ongoing for 12 consecutive nights. The bomber, capable of carrying large payloads, was used to strike IRGC targets. The Zioneer has previously reported on the intensification of US strikes, including the use of B-1 bombers against Iranian targets in recent days. The US has conducted hundreds of strikes since the campaign began, targeting IRGC infrastructure, drone positions, and naval assets. The B-1's introduction signals a possible shift to heavier ordnance as negotiations remain stalled. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated earlier this week that Iran is not negotiating seriously, as The Zioneer reported.
