US deploys B-2 Bombers to Guam amid Rising tensions with Iran
The United States has sent B-2 stealth bombers to Guam, demonstrating its military readiness as tensions with Iran continue to rise.
Amid rising tensions with Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump is considering possible military action while six stealth B-2 bombers have been deployed to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The move was reported on Saturday, June 21, by Fox News.
Fox News noted that these B-2 stealth bombers had been relocated to Guam, a strategically significant U.S. territory in the western Pacific Ocean. The report did not provide further details on the objectives of this deployment.
Guam, home to Andersen Air Force Base, is a vital military hub allowing rapid U.S. response across the Asia-Pacific region. Its position is critical for force projection toward potential theaters of operation, including the Middle East.
Each B-2 bomber can carry up to two 15-ton GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, one of the most powerful conventional bombs in the U.S. arsenal. This capability underscores the seriousness of the deployment.
Meanwhile, President Trump stated that he will make a decision regarding Iran within the next two weeks. The timing of the bombers’ arrival underscores the pressure his administration is placing on Tehran. On the ninth day of war between Iran and Israel, fierce fighting continues with heavy airstrikes and rocket fire, leaving civilians caught in the crossfire and international calls for a ceasefire intensifying.
Analysts say that moving advanced bombers to Guam signals U.S. commitment to keeping all options on the table, while also warning Iran of the risks of further escalation. Given the advanced technology and strategic range of these aircraft, this action cannot be overlooked.
Diplomatic observers stress that this latest maneuver is part of a broader pattern of military signaling by the U.S. However, they also caution that any escalation could have unpredictable regional consequences. Many hope that diplomatic channels will prevail before any military option is exercised.
