[IsraelTimes] A pair of B-52 bombers fly over the Mideast, the latest such mission in the region aimed at warning Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.

Flight-tracking data showed the two B-52s flew out of Minot Air Base in North Dakota, something Central Command did not mention in its statement on the flights.

The military did not directly mention Iran in its statement, saying the flight was to "deter aggression and reassure partners and allies of the US military’s commitment to security in the region."

IAF F-15s accompany American B-52 through Israeli airspace in show of force against Iran

[IsraelTimes] Israeli F-15 fighter jets escort two American B-52 heavy bombers through Israeli airspace, as part of an ongoing show of force by the United States aimed at Iran.

In recent months, B-52 bombers have repeatedly flown through the Middle East amid concerns that Tehran may launch a large strike against US forces in the region or against Israel.

"This flight is another testament to the strategic cooperation with American forces, which is a cornerstone in the preservation of the security of the airspace of the State of Israel and the Middle East," the Israel Defense Forces says in a statement.

#2  Ah, yes, back to empty gestures to "show them what we could do." But we won't actually do anything. Empty theater.

#1  Many years ago a friend in the Air Guard gave me a T-shirt showing a B-52 flying out of a mushroom cloud with the caption "It's Miller Time!". The BUFF still flies on.
