US used long-range B-1 Bomber to strike IRGC targets in Iran: Report
The US military used a B-1 long-range bomber to strike targets linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday.
The B-1 bomber flew from a US airbase in the United Kingdom and was tracked by online flight-monitoring platforms before the operation.
CENTCOM stated that assets targeted Iranian military operations centers, maritime capabilities, aircraft hangars, drone storage facilities, and logistics infrastructure.
During Operation Epic Fury, multiple B-1 bomber missions struck missile bases, command-and-control centres, weapons storage facilities, and air defence systems across Iran.
The deployment of B-1 bombers, capable of carrying up to 24 2,000-pound bombs or cruise missiles, marked a significant escalation in the US military campaign against Iran.
