US Used B-2 Bombers in Strikes on Iran

The United States used B-2 bombers in recent strikes on Iran, targeting underground ballistic missile facilities. Four B-2 aircraft flew from and back to the US, dropping 2,000-pound bombs. The B-2 is an advanced stealth aircraft, known for its ability to carry large payloads of weapons and penetrate heavily fortified facilities. It has a long range, a two-person crew, and has been used in previous conflicts, such as in Yugoslavia and Iraq. It is considered a key component of US deterrence strategy.
