March 2026: TRUMP PRESIDENCY EA-18G Growlers appear to be flying over Iran with four anti-radiation missiles

EA-18G Growlers appear to be flying over Iran with four anti-radiation missiles
"EA-18G Growler. In fact, the jet is sporting a rarely seen loadout with four AGM-88 anti-radiation missiles, together with an AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System (TJS), two AIM-120C/D Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM) and two external fuel tanks (EFT).

Notably, the AGM-88s are mixed, as two are the older AGM-88C High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM) variant and two are the newer AGM-88E Advanced Antiradiation Guided Missile (AARGM) variant. The AARGM can be identified by green stripes on the mid-body fins and a different color on the nose cone.
It must be noted however, that strikes are hitting Iranian targets progressively farther from the coast, allowing assets to more safely move inland. Thus, there could be areas were threats are still present and need to be treated accordingly.
This would be also in line with a more specific "localized air superiority" mention by CENTCOM, which would indeed imply that some areas are still not fully under control. In turn, this would also possibly explain why B-52H Stratofortress bombers continue to employ the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM). With this weapon, which has also been used in the opening phases by the B-1B Lancer, the bombers can conduct their strikes while remaining out of the threat's range."
