The US used B-2 stealth bombers in recent strikes on Iran, according to analysts monitoring open-source flight tracking data.

The information is published by the founder of the Military Air Tracking Alliance, a team of about 30 open-source analysts that analyzes military and government flight activity.

There has not yet been a confirmation of the report by American officials.

The US used B-2s, the advanced aircraft known for being capable of delivering huge bunker-buster bombs, during strikes on Iranian nuclear sites at the end of June 2025’s war between Israel and Iran.

At last, I can confirm that overnight a flight of 4 B-2A "Spirit" bombers flew non-stop from the United States to Iran to attack targets belonging to the regime.
