Twelve B-1B Lancers remain in the area. The total number of strategic bombers positioned in the region has fallen from 18 to 12.
The bombers had been stationed at the base during a period of heightened tensions with Iran. Their departure leaves fewer heavy bombers available for potential operations in the region. A Telegram channel called WarFront Witness reported the withdrawal.
The account described the move as an indication that the immediate situation is cooling.
