The United States has deployed B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Guam, a strategic U.S. island territory in the Pacific Ocean, according to multiple American media sources. Though U.S. officials have not explicitly linked the move to the escalating Middle East conflict, the timing has raised global attention.
The B-2 bombers, known for their stealth capabilities and long-range strike potential, are reportedly being transferred from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. These aircraft are the only ones in the U.S. arsenal capable of carrying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator — a 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb designed to destroy fortified underground targets.
Analysts point out that this weapon is believed to be the only one capable of reaching and damaging Iran’s heavily protected Fordo nuclear facility, which lies buried beneath a mountain under approximately 100 meters of rock and reinforced concrete.
While the Pentagon has remained silent on the deployment’s direct purpose, it follows recent comments by former President Donald Trump, who warned Iran it had two weeks to agree to limit its nuclear program or face possible U.S. military action.
Israel, which continues its confrontations with Iranian-backed forces, reportedly lacks the capability to strike Fordo on its own — a factor that could explain Washington’s increased strategic readiness in the region.
As of now, the deployment has not been independently confirmed by the BBC, and no official statement has been issued by the Department of Defense.
As of now, there are no official confirmations that the United States has entered a full-scale war with Iran. However, here are important updates from multiple sources and security analysts,
