The US Air Force just used its oldest bomber to attack Iran

"First flown in 1952, the Boeing B-52 has seen service in Vietnam, Desert Storm, the Global War on Terror - and now Iran.

U.S. forces have hit 2,000 targets in Iran since the opening salvos of Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, adding the B-1 Lancer and B-52 Stratofortress bombers to the air attacks, U.S. Central Command reported.
The long-range, heavy bomber has the potential to become the first military aircraft to remain in service for a century.
U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers conducted long-range strikes deep inside Iran. Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters Monday at the Pentagon that the strikes targeting ballistic missile facilities and command-and-control infrastructure resulted in "the establishment of local air superiority." msn
