US B-2 stealth bombers struck Iran’s “hardened ballistic missile facilities” overnight, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Sunday, Anadolu reports.

The bombers were armed with 2,000-pound (907-kilogram) bombs during the operation, CENTCOM said on US social media company X.

It marks the second major deployment of B-2 stealth bombers against Iran. Last June, the aircraft were used to strike Iran’s three main nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan during the 12-day Israel-Iran war, strikes Trump has credited with obliterating Iran’s nuclear facilities.

The latest strikes are part of the joint US-Israeli military campaign launched Saturday that has killed several senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Gulf countries.

Three US service members have been killed and five seriously wounded since operations began.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Sunday denied Iranian claims that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier had been struck by ballistic missiles, calling the assertion a “lie”, Anadolu reports.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it had targeted the carrier with four ballistic missiles, saying its strikes against US forces had “entered a new phase” and that “land and sea will become more and more the graveyard of terrorist aggressors.”

CENTCOM dismissed the claims, asserting the missiles “didn’t even come close” to the Lincoln, which it said continued launching aircraft in support of attacks against Iran.

The exchange of claims came as the US-Israeli joint operation against Iran, launched Saturday, entered its second day. The strikes killed several senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Tehran has been retaliating with drone and missile strikes targeting US assets and Gulf countries.
