The United States is moving B-2 bombers to Guam as tensions escalate in the Middle East, particularly concerning Israel's military operations against Iran. President Trump is weighing the potential U.S. involvement in these conflicts, with a decision expected in the next two weeks, according to Reuters and South China Morning Post.
The B-2 bombers, capable of carrying the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, are particularly suitable for attacks on fortified nuclear sites like Iran’s Fordow facility. However, U.S. officials have not disclosed how many bombers are being moved nor whether any orders for further deployment have been issued, as also reported by HuffPost and Salon.
This repositioning is part of a broader military buildup, including the redeployment of additional tanker aircraft and fighter jets to reinforce U.S. military readiness in the region. Reports indicate that an aircraft carrier has been redirected from the Indo-Pacific towards the Middle East, reflecting heightened tensions, as explained in South China Morning Post and Salon.
