US Deploys B-2 Bombers to Guam Amid Iran-Israel Tensions

The United States has deployed B-2 stealth bombers to Andersen Air Base in Guam as President Donald Trump contemplates joining Israel's military campaign against Iran, particularly targeting Iran's heavily fortified Fordow nuclear facility. The B-2 bombers are capable of carrying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb that can destroy deeply buried nuclear sites, a capability Israel lacks. Trump has set a two-week deadline to decide on direct US military involvement, amid a widening rift within his party between interventionists urging action and isolationists warning against another Middle East conflict. Israeli forces have recently intensified attacks on Iranian nuclear and military targets, escalating tensions, while Iran has warned that US involvement would be extremely dangerous and refuses to negotiate under threat. Experts are closely watching whether the bombers will relocate further to the Indian Ocean base at Diego Garcia, positioning them strategically for Middle East operations. The Pentagon and White House have declined to comment on the bomber movements, and Trump is scheduled to hold a national security meeting to discuss the situation.
