Following Iran’s missile strikes on allied targets across the region, U.S. military forces launched a coordinated response. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers were prepared overnight at a domestic air base, fueled and armed for a deep-strike mission against hardened Iranian bunkers. Escorted by F-35 Lightning IIs and AV-8B Harriers, the bombers departed at dawn and conducted multiple aerial refueling operations en route.
Simultaneously, helicopter-borne forces deployed to a forward base in the Middle East, establishing a new tactical position near the border within hours of landing.
