Watan-The United States carried out airstrikes with “B-1” bombers on locations in Iraq and Syria, as part of what Washington calls retaliatory response to the killing of three American soldiers and the injury of dozens in an attack on a base in Jordan. An Iraqi group affiliated with Iran claimed responsibility for the attack. So, what are these bombers?<\/p>\n
The Director of U.S. Joint Military Operations, Douglas Sims, stated that the strikes were conducted with “B-1” bombers, targeting the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and armed factions allied with it.<\/p>\n
In an interview on CNN, Sims mentioned that the bomb-carrying aircraft of the B-1 model took off from the United States and reached these locations in a non-stop flight. He spoke about indicators of losses at the targeted sites, with secondary explosions associated with ammunition and logistical sites.<\/p>\n
Sims added that the selection of the day for the strikes, Friday, represented the “best opportunity” in terms of weather conditions. Despite the capability of American ammunition to operate in any condition, good weather was chosen to ensure hitting all the right targets.<\/p>\n
