Four B-2 Stealth Bombers Confirmed in Operation Epic Fury — Struck Underground Iranian Missile Sites

A U.S. defense official confirmed that four B-2 Spirit stealth bombers flew round-trip missions from the continental United States and dropped dozens of 2,000 lb bombs on underground ballistic missile sites in Iran as part of Operation Epic Fury. Radio communications tracking placed the aircraft — designated PETRO41 flight — over the Strait of Gibraltar on return. The B-2 deployment indicates the US targeted deeply buried infrastructure inaccessible to conventional munitions.
