Israel-Iran war: What are B-2 bombers used by US to strike Iran? Here's why they're key
US Air Force B-2 Spirit bomber (File Photo) The United States formally entered the Israel-Iran conflict, as it bombed three nuclear facilities in Iran early Sunday morning local time. US President Donald Trump, who earlier gave himself a 2-week window to decide on whether to strike Iran or not, announced the air strikes in a post on his Truth Social platform. "We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump wrote. Later, in an address to the nation, Trump announced that the US Air Force's B-2 Spirit bombers hit Tehran's nuclear facilities. What are B-2 Spirit bombers? Why were they used? Built by American aerospace firm Northrop Grumman, the B-2 Spirit is more famous as the Stealth. It is capable of entering sophisticated air defenses and conducting precision strikes against hardened targets such as underground nuclear research facilities, like the ones in Iran. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The B-2 is the most expensive military aircraft ever built, as each unit costs about $2.1 billion. It has a range of over 6,000 nautical miles without refuelling, enabling strike capabilities from US continental bases. On the other hand, with aerial refuelling, it can reach virtually any target worldwide. A 2-pilot aircraft, the B-2 has a payload capacity of more than 40,000 pounds, and can thus carry a diverse array of both conventional and nuclear weapons. It is also equipped with large ordnance loads, which could include two GBU-57A/B MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator), and a 30,000-pound precision-guided "bunker buster" bomb. The MOP is the largest conventional bomb in the US arsenal, specifically engineered to defeat hardened underground bunkers.

Refunds Dent Net Direct Tax Mopup
India's net direct tax collections declined 1.39% year-on-year to ₹4.58 lakh crore as of June 19 this fiscal, primarily due to a sharp 58% increase in refunds and muted growth in advance tax payments, official data showed. The figure includes ₹1.72 lakh crore from corporate tax and ₹2.72 lakh crore from personal income tax . India Inc's advance tax payments — a barometer of corporate performance and economic outlook — grew 4% year-on-year to ₹1.55 lakh crore. The rate of growth fell sharply from the year-ago period when advance tax collection grew 27% on-year to ₹1.48 lakh crore. Gross direct tax collections stood at ₹5.45 lakh crore, a 5% increase from the same period last year. However, the income tax department issued refunds of ₹86,385 crore until June 19, compared to ₹54,661 crore a year ago, pulling net collections down. 'The revised tax slabs and reduced personal tax rates that came into effect from April 1, 2025, have provided relief to salaried individuals, and this is naturally reflected in lower TDS collections,' said Samir Kanabar, tax partner at EY India. While higher volume of corporate tax refunds may weigh on short-term collection figures, it is also a sign of administrative efficiency, he said. A more balanced picture may emerge in the coming quarters, he added. Officials expect tax collections to catch up to meet the budget targets in the coming quarters even though global uncertainties amid US tariff threats and escalating Israel-Iran conflict may have some impact on corporate sentiments. 'We expect the collections to improve in the coming quarters as more people will file the returns,' a senior official told ET. The Centre has budgeted ₹25.2 lakh crore in net direct tax revenue for FY26, up from ₹22.3 lakh crore in FY25, when collections rose 13.6%, exceeding initial budgeted target. 'For a number of reasons, India finds itself in the position of strength amidst the ongoing global supply chain reset and, therefore, a turnaround in tax collections in next quarters could be quite likely,' said Sumit Singhania, partner at Deloitte India. Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to engage with principal chief commissioners of the Income Tax Department next week to take stock of zone-wise collection trends and litigation management. The meeting will review age-wise pendency of appeals and push for faster disposal of legacy cases to reduce litigation burden, officials cited above said.
