B-2 Stealth Bombers Reportedly On The Move To U.S. Base In Guam As Trump Mulls Iran Strike
The United States has quietly repositioned six B?2 Spirit stealth bombers to its airbase in Guam, a strategic move that comes as President Donald Trump weighs potential military action against Iran’s underground nuclear infrastructure.
The bombers—capable of carrying the GBU?57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, a 30,000?pound bunker-busting weapon—departed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri under tight operational security. The deployment includes a fleet of refueling tankers and support aircraft, signaling that the U.S. military is preparing for the possibility of a high-stakes precision strike.
This repositioning marks one of the most significant airpower movements since tensions with Iran escalated, and it places the U.S. within optimal range to target Iran’s fortified nuclear facility in Fordow. That site, buried deep within a mountain, is believed to be a key component of Iran’s rapidly advancing weapons program.
While President Trump has not made a final decision, he has publicly stated he will determine whether to authorize a strike “within the next two weeks.” The timing aligns with Israel’s ongoing military campaign against Iranian assets following a string of direct attacks. Israeli officials have reportedly urged the U.S. to consider taking out Fordow—a mission only feasible using America’s stealth bombers and deep-penetrating munitions.
Sources familiar with Pentagon planning say the deployment serves dual purposes: deterrence and readiness. If Iran refuses to return to negotiations, the presence of the B?2 fleet provides Trump with a credible military option. The Guam airbase, under full U.S. control, avoids the political complications of relying on third-party territory like Diego Garcia.
Military analysts note that this move sends a clear message to Tehran. By putting the most advanced strike aircraft in position, the U.S. signals that it is prepared to act decisively and unilaterally if diplomacy fails.
President Trump has emphasized he is not seeking war but is determined to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. “Maybe we won’t have to fight. Maybe it ends very quickly,” he said, leaving all options on the table.
As the Fourth of July approaches and tensions remain high in the Middle East, the eyes of the world now turn to Guam—where the next phase of U.S. strategy may soon be launched from 50,000 feet above.
