The US Air Force said it flew a B-1B bomber over strategic maritime straits in the Middle East with allies, including Israel, in an apparent show of force to Iran as is delays in rejoining the nuclear deal it signed with the world powers. The B-1B bomber flew on Saturday over the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, all areas where attacks blamed on Iran have taken place in recent years. Iran has denied the attacks.
