Bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base used in attack on Iran

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

B-2 bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base were used in this weekend’s attack on Iran.

The U.S. and Israeli militaries attacked Iran on Saturday morning, with Iran returning fire since.

This is now the second time since the summer that the B-2 bombers have been used to strike Iran. They were also used for "Operation Midnight Hammer" in June.

Whiteman Air Force Base is located in Johnson County.

“Once again, the heroic airmen of Missouri’s own Whiteman Air Force Base lead the way,” Republican state Rep. Mark Alford wrote in a tweet on Sunday. “The Show Me State continues to show the world what Peace Through Strength looks like.”
