Iran’s military may be badly damaged by the U.S. and Israel’s campaign. But that damage has exposed a more enduring threat: asymmetric warfare, in which individuals or small groups of militants can pose threats strategic to the American military.

They’re flying B52s over Iran now.
Trump’s rhetoric can’t stop SAMs so if Iran still has that capability I’d be curious why they’re not using it. Remember it’s still the US military, and squashing air defenses is like their whole deal.
Over, or near? If over what part of Iran? So far, as far as I’m aware, they’ve been using the B-52s with standoff munitions. Maybe they’re using them on Kharg island, but that’s an island off the coast. The air defences are going to get thicker when they get further into the country.
