Demonstration of U.S. and Allied Military Strength

  • By Steph. G. Halston.
  • (General Dispatch) –  The US military forces carried out aerial tactics in conjunction with its allies Qatar, Israel and Saudi Arabia along the Persian Gulf with the aim of making Iran visualize the military power of these nations.
  • The B-52 bomber flew over the Persian Gulf escorted by F-15 aircraft of its allies, being a clear signal and a warning gesture to the Iranian government, which has not complied with the nuclear treaties and has defied the US.
  • The B-52 has been in service for a great number of years, it was used in the cold war, becoming an icon for aviation, usually used in missions in the East.
  • This mission was the 7th to use the B-52 after six months, Israeli aircraft have assisted with the missions, and it was the second time under the Biden administration that it was authorized for use.
  • “This exercise highlights capabilities, air control and operational integration, and is a continuation of joint cooperation between the Royal Saudi Air Force and the U.S. Air Force to maintain security and stability in the region” said a Saudi media outlet Al-Riyadh.
  • These types of actions are carried out as Iran promotes terrorist groups that have attacked US bases and its allies for the same reason the US carried out an airstrike in Syria in February, also Israel was the victim of a naval attack on a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Oman.
  • “These missions reiterate the United States Air Force’s global reach capability and commitment to regional security,” said a US Air Force statement.
