US B-52 bombers arrive in region as Iran threatens to attack Israel again
The US Central Command announces that B-52 bombers have arrived in its area of responsibility, which mainly consists of the Middle East.
The deployment, announced on Friday, is possibly an attempt to deter Iran from attacking Israel again — as it has promised to do — following several recent direct attacks on each other.
