A question from civilian side of aviation: why coalition needed to use B2s from its US homebase? Does it have any unique capabilities necessary for the mission in question or it is rather a demonstration of expensive technologies?

A 25-hrs mission to a country which air defence level is somewhere on a border between 2nd and 3rd world countries, with targets located just on the border of 100% secured Mediterrianian airspace?
