The United States is moving B-2 strategic bombers to the Pacific island of Guam amid the conflict between Israel and Iran, Reuters reported, citing its sources.
At the same time, as the agency emphasizes, it is not clear whether their deployment is related to tensions in the Middle East. The agency's sources refused to provide further details. One of the interlocutors said that orders have not yet been given to move the B-2s out of Guam. They did not say exactly how many bombers have been deployed.
US President Donald Trump is studying the possibility of carrying out an attack on facilities of the Iranian nuclear program. He is expected to hold another meeting with his national security team on Saturday to discuss the issue.
The B-2 bomber can be equipped with the American GBU-57 aerial bomb, designed to destroy targets located deep underground. It is this shell that, according to experts, could hit the nuclear facility in Fordow, which is located at a depth of about 90 meters.
