Mysterious B-2 Bomber Deployment: Iran?
A significant, and largely unacknowledged, deployment of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers has been tracked from Whiteman AFB to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. Open-source intelligence indicates at least four or five B-2s were involved, with one diverting to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam due to an emergency. The scale of this deployment is unprecedented, exceeding typical Bomber Task Force or Global Power Missions. Accompanying the B-2s are numerous C-17 transports carrying personnel and equipment. Runway closures at Diego Garcia until May 1st suggest a prolonged stay. While official comment is lacking, the timing, coinciding with heightened tensions in the Middle East, particularly US sanctions and threats against Iran, leads many to speculate a connection to Iran. The B-2’s capability to carry the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator further fuels this theory.
