Summary: The article says Iran’s air defenses did not engage seven B-2 Spirit bombers during a June 2025 strike on Iran’s nuclear complex, and that all seven returned. It argues that the B-2’s combat record across two Iran-related wars shows the U.S. owns too few stealth bombers for the next conflict, supporting a push for more B-21 Raiders.
