The deployment appeared to be a show of force as the president says he is holding out hope Tehran will agree to shutter its nuclear program voluntarily.
Multiple B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, deployed from an Air Force base in Missouri, flew west over the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, according to a U.S. official, in a likely show of force to Iran as President Donald Trump contemplates using military force to attack a key nuclear facility there.
The aircraft’s likely destination is either Andersen Air Force Base in Guam or a military installation on the island of Diego Garcia, in the Indian Ocean, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity. Both bases have hosted strategic bombers, including the B-2 and B-52, in recent months.
The B-2, with its distinctive bat-wing shape, is the world’s only aircraft capable of employing the 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb called a Massive Ordnance Penetrator. The MOP was designed specifically for strikes on targets buried deep underground.
