ISLAMABAD:<\/strong>
US B-2 stealth bombers reportedly used Indian airspace to conduct strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, according to multiple regional sources cited on Sunday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bombers,<\/a> <\/strong>which took off from Guam Island in the western Pacific, are said to have flown over the Andaman Sea, traversed central India, and entered the Arabian Sea before reaching targets near Iran.<\/p>\n

The reported route highlights a major development in regional dynamics amid an escalating Middle East conflict.<\/p>\n

Sources traced the flight path through coordinates ranging from 15\u00b0N, 145\u00b0E (Guam), through 10\u00b0N, 95\u00b0\u2013100\u00b0E (Andaman Sea), over 20\u00b0N, 75\u00b0\u201380\u00b0E (central India), and finally into the area near Iran\u2019s eastern border at 25\u00b0\u201330\u00b0N, 60\u00b0\u201365\u00b0E.<\/p>\n

While the US and Indian governments have not officially confirmed this airspace usage, the development has sparked considerable geopolitical interest.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s Role Raises Strategic Questions<\/h3>\n

Defence analysts believe the alleged airspace coordination could signal a shift in India\u2019s strategic alignment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis might indicate a new chapter in the regional security calculus,\u201d said one analyst in local media.<\/p>\n

The absence of denial or acknowledgment from New Delhi has left observers speculating on the depth of India-US military cooperation.<\/p>\n

Analysts say such a move, even if logistical, may indicate India\u2019s growing comfort with US-led strategic operations in the region.<\/p>\n

This also raises questions about future airspace sharing, neutrality, and India’s balancing act between Washington and Tehran.<\/p>\n

Operation Midnight and Regional Fallout<\/h3>\n

The US strike on Iran\u2019s nuclear infrastructure included over 125 aircraft, 14 bunker-buster bombs, and two dozen Tomahawk missiles under what was codenamed \u201cOperation Midnight.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump called the operation a “spectacular military success,” claiming Iran\u2019s key nuclear sites were “totally obliterated.”<\/p>\n

Tehran, however, has condemned the attack as a \u201cbrutal military aggression\u201d and accused Washington of violating the UN Charter.<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry warned of serious consequences, holding the US fully accountable for what it described as a \u201cheinous crime.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United States\u2019 involvement follows more than a week of Israeli attacks on Iran, which Iran blames for provoking the current escalation.<\/p>\n

With B-2 bombers potentially crossing Indian skies, defence experts now see this as a sign of India\u2019s evolving strategic posture in a rapidly shifting regional landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
