The Pentagon on Wednesday successfully conducted a strategic bomber’s patrol mission from Louisiana to the Middle East to showcase U.S. commitment to regional security, military officials said.

The crew of the U.S. Air Force B-52H “Stratofortress,” a long-range heavy bomber, departed from Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana on Tuesday and reportedly completed a continuous flight into the Persian Gulf region.
