US Escalates Iran Campaign With First B-1 Bomber Strike Since Conflict Resumed, Sources Tell ‘Post’

Sources say the U.S. conducted an escalation against Iran by carrying out what it described as the first B-1 bomber strike in the renewed phase of the conflict. The reporting cites U.S. military confirmation that B-1 “Lancer” bombers were used to hit targets deep inside Iran to degrade ballistic-missile capabilities. Officials also indicated that bombers like the B-1 could feature more prominently as operations continue, framing the move as both practical for striking hardened facilities and as signaling deterrence.
