A pair of B-52 bombers flew over the Mideast on Sunday, March 7, the latest such mission in the region aimed at warning Iran amidst continuing tensions between Washington and Tehran. Four Israeli F-15 jets accompanied each B-52. The US military’s Central Command said the two B-52s flew over the region accompanied by military aircraft from nations including Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Sunday’s flyby through the region by the B-52 heavy bombers was at least the seventh such maneuver in the past six months.
