Washington/US – US President Donald Trump announced the US’s mediation in the Iran-Israel conflict. US President Trump confirmed that American forces carried out a successful strike on three nuclear facilities in Iran at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. President Trump made the announcement on his Truth social media platform and added that all US aircraft have exited Iranian airspace without any hurdles
U.S. defense officials indicated a buildup of military assets, which included deploying B-2 stealth bombers to Guam. Although no official connection to tensions in the Middle East was confirmed, analysts theorized that the deployment could be related to rising hostilities between Iran and Israel. The B-2, capable of carrying the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator — designed for attacking fortified underground facilities — was viewed as a potential tool for neutralizing Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.
Observers are monitoring whether the bombers could be moved to Diego Garcia, a US-British military base strategically located in the Indian Ocean. Until last month, B-2 bombers were stationed there before being replaced by B-52s.
The conflict between Iran and Israel has escalated. On Saturday, Israel announced that it had killed a senior Iranian military official amid ongoing hostilities that have now lasted over a week. In response, Iranian officials stated that they will not engage in nuclear negotiations while facing military pressure.
President Trump made it clear that he has yet to decide “whether or not people come to their senses.” It was an indication that the U.S is still deciding whether or not to officially support Israel in the conflict amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
According to reports, a surge in US military movements was reported, which included the deployment of aerial refueling tankers in Europe and the movement of an aircraft carrier from the Indo-Pacific to the Middle East.
The B-2 is capable of carrying the 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, which is engineered to target deep underground locations. Experts suggest that this weapon could effectively strike Iran’s nuclear facilities, particularly Fordow.
