US Moves B-2 Bombers to Guam Amid Tensions with Iran

The United States has relocated B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam, according to two U.S. officials speaking to Reuters. This move comes as President Trump weighs whether to involve the U.S. in potential strikes by Israel against Iran. It remains unclear if this deployment is linked to escalating tensions in the Middle East between Iran and Israel or if it reflects a personal decision by Donald Trump. The B-2 bomber can be equipped with the GBU-57 bomb, weighing 13 tons, designed to destroy deeply buried targets. Experts suggest this weapon could target Iran’s nuclear program, including the Fordo facility. Military officials, speaking anonymously, declined to provide further details. One official stated that no orders have been issued to advance the bombers beyond Guam. The Pentagon has not immediately responded to a request for comment.
