They don't need to go below 40k for a bomb run, especially so if they are doing a JDAM run (which is more advantageous at a higher altitude because it means longer maneuver time)If you are doing a non stand off weapon bombing run then they will be below 40,000 feet.
Which is still in reach of a hidden air defense system, a loitering weapon (358/359), etc.
They wouldn’t take the risk. All the videos I have seen of B-52s during this war they been dropping JSAAMs. Just like the Russians they are just flinging cruise missiles from the border regions with their bombers.
There have been B-1s going deep inside Iran since last week; if they are doing it on B-1, they are doing that in a B-52.
