According to reports from flight tracking data and air traffic control communications, six U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers are reportedly en route to a U.S. base in Guam.
The move comes as President Donald Trump deliberates on whether to involve the United States in the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, a decision that could reshape the volatile Middle East landscape.
The bombers, which took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, were observed refueling mid-flight, suggesting they’re carrying a heavy payload—potentially bunker-buster bombs designed to penetrate deeply fortified targets like Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility.
President Trump, who returned to the White House today after cutting short a G-7 summit in Canada, is set to receive intelligence briefings with the National Security Council over the weekend.
He has been vocal about his stance on Iran, insisting that the country “cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

The Israel-Iran conflict, now in its ninth day, kicked off on June 13 with Israel’s “Operation Rising Lion,” a series of airstrikes targeting Iran’s nuclear sites, military leadership, and missile capabilities.
Iran has retaliated with over 470 ballistic missiles and 1,000 drones, killing 24 and wounding thousands in Israel, according to local health officials. The back-and-forth has left the region on edge, with oil prices spiking and global leaders urging restraint.
