As tensions increase with Iran, the world's number one sponsor of terrorism, the US flew a pair of nuclear-capable B-52H Stratofortresses over the Middle East on Sunday. They were escorted by air forces from the UK, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, according to US Central Command (CENTCOM).
President Biden forgot to talk about Iran, China, Russia and other threats to the nation in his speech last week.
Anyway, this was the fourth Bomber Task Force (BTF) mission in 2022 and if things don't change with Iran, and they keep messing with us at sea as they did with taking our sea drones, this will not be the last mission to be flown there.
During Sunday's mission, the B-52 long-distance bombers left from England and flew over the Eastern Mediterranean, Arabian Peninsula, and Red Sea.
"This Bomber Task Force is a strong, clear representation of enduring US commitment to the region," Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, 9th Air Force commander, said in a statement.
"Threats to the US and our partners will not go unanswered. Missions like this BTF showcase our ability to combine forces to deter and, if necessary, defeat our adversaries," as in blow them to smithereens.
As fighter jets from the United Kingdom, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia escorted the B-52 bombers overhead, Army Central forces simulated firepower on the ground. This is kind of equivalent to a schoolyard tough guy grabbing his crotch just before he's ready to throw a punch.
The Biden administration has tried to negotiate with Iran for 16 months in order to revive the useless and now defunct Iran Nuclear Deal. While Iran responded to the US proposal to reopen negotiations, the State Department said that it was "not constructive."
Iran may claim that it has no intentions of building a nuclear bomb, they're about as believable as a scorpion promising a frog that it won't sting it when crossing the pond. They have already enriched 3,800 kilograms of uranium up to 60% purity, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Under the previous terms of the nuclear deal, Iran could only have 300 kilograms of uranium enriched up to 3.67%.
Just last Monday, Iran seized an unarmed American sea drone in the Arabian Gulf and the USS Thunderbolt and MH-60S Sea Hawk chopper were dispatched to stop the seizure.
Then last Thursday, an Iranian warship seized and detained two US sea drones, but the U.S. 5th Fleet again dispatched two destroyers and a helicopter to deter them.
