B-2 stealth bombers are reportedly heading to Guam, just days after President Donald Trump hinted at a possible military strike on Iran’s nuclear sites. According to a Fox News report, six bombers took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and are believed to be en route to the Pacific island, as indicated by flight tracking data and communications with air traffic control.
The movement of these bombers comes at a tense time in U.S.-Iran relations. Trump recently stated through White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that he would decide on potential military action against Iran within the next two weeks. This announcement followed Iran’s rejection of multiple U.S. overtures for negotiations. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi made it clear that as long as U.S. aggression continues, there will be no dialogue.
Analysts suggest that the deployment of the bombers could serve as a pressure tactic on Iran to encourage them to engage in talks. The bombers may be equipped with bunker-buster bombs, which would be essential for targeting Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility.
In the context of ongoing tensions, Trump has expressed support for Israel’s airstrikes against Iran, which have targeted the regime’s nuclear capabilities and military leaders. He has not ruled out direct military action by the U.S. and has even claimed that the U.S. knows the location of Iran’s Supreme Leader.
This situation continues to evolve, and the next steps from both the U.S. and Iran will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
