I would prefer endless waves of conventional bombers, landing at Diego Garcia and rearming and flying right back.
It's 4773km between Mecca and Diego Garcia, doubled for round trip is 9546 we will round that up to 10k for time over target and. We have 58 B-52s in service, that's one B-52 every 172km.
A B-52 travels at around 844km per hour, which means one B-52 will arrive over Mecca every 12 minutes and 30 seconds with 10,000 lbs of love.
Maybe less, figure 8,000 lbs of bombs to avoid refueling.
