US Air Force Deploys B-52 Amid Rising Tensions in Middle East Conflict

The US Air Force deployed a B-52 Stratofortress for a night mission under Operation Epic Fury, targeting threats from Iran and aiming to prevent the country from rebuilding military capabilities, according to CENTCOM. The conflict in West Asia has expanded, with the US, Israel, and Iran striking each other's energy infrastructure, raising concerns over global oil and gas supplies. Meanwhile, the UK is considering deploying interceptor drones to the Middle East to counter Iranian drone threats. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards launched missile strikes against US bases in response to ongoing hostilities.
