Multiple US B-2 bombers heading west from the US on Saturday appeared to be in the air and heading west from the US as US President Donald Trump weighs on military involvement in the Israeli-Iranian conflict.
The US leader was scheduled to meet with the national security team on Saturday night. He previously said he would postpone decisions regarding our involvement in the conflict for up to two weeks.
The B-2 bomber is the only aircraft carrying the larger “bunkerbuster” bombs. It was not clear whether the plane being escorted on Saturday was ready for operation or whether it had moved to airspace near Iran as a power show.
Aside from ground raids and nuclear attacks, Iran’s underground Fordouran enrichment facilities are thought to be out of reach of everyone except the American Bunkerbuster bomb.
According to the US Air Force, only the US constitutes and programmes B-2 aircraft to supply bombs.
These planes are normally stationed in Missouri, but on Saturday multiple aerial refuel tankers were discovered in commercial flight trackers flight patterns that match escort aircraft from central US to the Pacific.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment, but Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araguchi said that US military involvement was “very dangerous for everyone.”
He said Iran is accepting further dialogue, but not as long as Israel continues its attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli military operations will continue “as long as it takes” to eliminate what is known as the existential threat of Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile arsenal.
Iranian innovative security guards announced the launch of a drone towards Israel on Saturday evening, in the latest wave of attacks as the battle entered the 10th day.
Iranian media said Israel has launched a strike in the city of Shiraz in the south, where it hosts military bases.
