B-52's have a vast payload and arsenal of weapons and they are fairly intimidating weapons even after over 65 years in service.
They are useless against nay country that has even a hint of a modern AA system. Even in the recent conflicts with Iraq, they mostly were used to shoot standoff missiles. Afghanistan was no issue because they never had AA systems anyway, not any that could touch that altitude.

Well, the Iranians are not doing that. They gave green light to the replacement general including hundreds of millions in fund. According to the intelligence, they are moving equipment as we speak.

Ya man, its the neighbors sandbox........

Wherever they are moving them, is it either to protect them from a US attack or prepare to attack US targets.

It's up to them.

They should not have started atacking ships and sponsoring terrorism in the first place and could have avoided sanctions had they not embarked on a nuclear program which is ultimately aimed at developing nuclear weapons.

Trump has made his plans crystal clear in terms of any attacks on the US, her military or her citizens.

The Iranians have a host of enemies in the region already, without adding the US, whilst NATO is about to hold an emergency meeting.

It's not Trump's plan. He was just handed a script, like the four Presidents before him had scripts handed to them.

Trump is no puppet of the CIA, or McMasters, Kelley & Bolton would still have a job.
