Donald Trump’s Administration can be characterized as not having engaging in a new major combat operation, somewhere in the World. In fact, America is reducing its presence in Iraq and in Afghanistan. However, as the time to exchange staffs in the “Oval Room” gets closer, that seems to be changing, because the US deployed long-range bombers to Middle East to deter Iran. This is the second time that the US Air Force launched its B-52 (Stratofortress) heavy bombers for a short-term deployment to the Middle East, in less than a month,.
It appears that these efforts are meant to deter potential hostile Iranian military activity as Washington reduces its military presence in Iraq, roughly a year since the targeted bombing of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad.
The B-52 deployment comes less than two weeks after Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for retaliation for the assassination of a senior Iranian nuclear scientist in an attack that officials in Tehran have blamed on Israel.
