The U.S. military sent B-1 bombers “deep inside Iran” to target the Iranian regime’s ballistic missile systems on Sunday night, the U.S. Central Command said on Monday.

CENTCOM also provided footage of a B-1 bomber, a supersonic heavy bomber known as the Lancer that has been used by the U.S. military since the mid-1980s, being serviced and taking off from an air base.
