Don't forget, if this fantasy conflict continued just after V-E day, or maybe later after V-J day, most of our assembly lines would continue producing materials, including the B-32.
or accelerate the introduction of the B-36 or B35 (Woo Hoo!!)? Then the USAAF would have the stand off capability to launch attacks from Iceland, Greenland and Alaska where they would be immune from Soviet retaliation.
 
I'm not sure about Iran - I think the Soviets would have huge logistical difficulties there with Allied air superiority, but Baku can be bombed from Iraq as well. And even from Egypt, if I'm not mistaken.

Iran is a fine natural ground-defense line for the Soviets. High mountains hem in the Persian-Soviet border for the most part.

Baku is reachable from Teheran for bombers but it is not an ideal basing point for several reasons. Basra or Habbaniya would likely be better for the task, or perhaps even Crete?
 
French and British were planning to bomb from Damascus and Mosul in 1940

B-35 - this was to be produced by Martin. In 1944 there were all sorts of development and production delays. Production contract for first 100 was cancelled in May 1944 after it became clear the first deliveries would be in 1947. Dec 1944, USAAF decided XB-35 & YB-35 should be produced as test airframes only. XB-35 flew in June 1946 & June 1947. Most of the YB-35 were scrapped before flight. 3 converted as various jet powered YB-49 prototypes.

B-36 - again development in WW2 was much delayed due to Consolidated's big commitment to B-24 programme and then the development of the B-32. The original Nov 1941 contract for 2 XB-36 called for delivery of the first in May 1944. It was finally rolled out of the factory in Sept 1945 but didn't fly until Aug 1946. It flew with 110" single mainwheels and there were only 3 airfields in the USA capable of taking its weight so amongst other things the undercarriage needed redesigned just to make the monster useable. It had many early developmental problems, in both the airframe & engines.

The initial July 1943 production contract was for only 100 (later reduced to 95) but it survived the late 1945 contract cull.

The first of 22 production B-36A didn't fly until Aug 1947 and even then it was without armament, had a limited max TOW, and had an effective range of only 6,500-7,000 miles with a 10,000lb bomb load. It was June 1948 before these entered service with the 7th BW at Carswell AFB, just across the runway from the factory.

The first version that SAC considered operationally capable was the B-26B, the first of which didn't fly until July 1948 and the last in Sept 1950. These 73 aircraft completed the initial 95 aircraft order from 1943.

To get either of the aircraft into production much sooner requires some other sacrifice in WW2 as well as speeding up Post war development schedules for airframe, engines and defensive armament.
