Six B-2 stealth bombers originating from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri seem to be heading towards a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, as confirmed by U.S. officials to Fox News. The connection between their movement and rising Middle Eastern tensions remains unclear at this point.
The bombers reportedly refueled soon after taking off from Missouri, hinting that they might have initially departed with less fuel because of a substantial onboard payload, possibly including bunker-buster bombs.
The B-2 is capable of carrying a pair of 15-ton bunker-buster bombs, which are exclusively owned by the U.S. Specialists suggest these bombs might be essential for striking Iran’s most strongly protected nuclear site, Fordow.

President Donald Trump, who has said he will make a decision on U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, is expected to return to the White House on Saturday afternoon. The president is expected to receive intelligence briefings with the National Security Council on Saturday and Sunday as he considers possible actions against Iran.
Recently, the president appeared to publicly disagree with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, stating she was “wrong” when she testified in March that there is “no evidence” Iran is building a nuclear weapon. Gabbard later responded to the apparent controversy, saying that “the dishonest media is intentionally taking my testimony out of context and spreading fake news as a way to manufacture division.”
“America has intelligence that Iran is at the point that it can produce a nuclear weapon within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly. President Trump has been clear that can’t happen, and I agree,” Gabbard added in her post on X.

While the U.S. has not taken direct action in the conflict, the State Department on Friday announced sanctions on Tehran despite Secretary of State Marco Rubio initially putting distance between Jerusalem and Iran. The sanctions were imposed on eight entities and one individual “for their involvement in the procurement and shipment of proliferation-sensitive machinery from China for Iran’s defense industry.”
The Pentagon did not respond to FOX News’ request for comment.
