U.S. B-2s Deployed to Guam Amid Iran Tensions

The United States has deployed B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to Guam as President Donald Trump considers possible U.S. involvement in Israeli strikes against Iran and the targeting of Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear sites, such as Fordow. The B-2s are uniquely capable of carrying the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, viewed as necessary for destroying deeply buried targets. Trump has set a two-week window to decide on U.S. action, using the threat of military force to pressure Iran during ongoing negotiations about its nuclear program, which Iran refuses to halt. The deployment, coordinated with aerial refueling tankers, has sparked speculation of imminent U.S. military action, though officials have not confirmed a direct link to Middle East tensions. Analysts highlight the possibility of repositioning the bombers to Diego Garcia if needed. The Pentagon and White House have declined to comment, citing operational secrecy.
