The United States Defence Department, Pentagon, is moving B-2 stealth bombers over the Pacific from their Air Force base in Missouri, a sign the Trump administration is getting them in place if needed for a strike on Iran.

According to World Sreet Journal, the B-2s can carry the GBU-57 bunker buster, the 30,000-pound conventional weapon that defense analysts say has the best chance of damaging Iran’s Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

President Trump continues to deliberate over whether to join Israel’s military campaign against Iran and has said he would decide “within two weeks.” Trump had earlier told senior aides that he had approved of attack plans for Iran, but was waiting to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program, people familiar with the deliberations said.

Israel’s military continued its strikes on Iran’s military leadership and nuclear infrastructure on Saturday, June 21. The military said it had killed three more senior Iranian military leaders and hit Iran’s Isfahan nuclear facility. Israel’s top general has warned that the war could be lengthy, calling it the most complex military campaign in the country’s history.

Iran, for its part, remains defiant, telling diplomats this week that it won’t end its enrichment of nuclear fuel and won’t enter talks with the U.S. unless Israel stops its attacks.
