WASHINGTON - The U.S. military said on Tuesday that B-52 bombers will be part of additional forces being sent to the Middle East to counter what the Trump administration says are “clear indications” of threats from Iran to U.S. forces there.
Captain Bill Urban, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said that the bomber task force would consist of B-52 bombers. Iran’s top security body dismissed the U.S. plan to send forces to the region as “psychological warfare.” He said the credibility of those threats was based on sources and methods through which the information was obtained, something the U.S. military was not able to discuss.
