New Delhi: The United States has launched brutal attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites. On Saturday, US President Donald Trump announced that the United States had carried out a “successful strike” on three nuclear sites in Iran — Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump wrote on social media Saturday. “All planes are now outside of Iran airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow,” wrote Trump. “All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” the president wrote.

B-2 Spirit stealth bombers

According to the reports, the US deployed B-2 Spirit stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to its strategic airbase in Guam. Six American B-2 stealth bombers took off from Missouri on Saturday and arrived at the airbase on Guam, a US island in Micronesia located in the western Pacific Ocean. The deployment of America’s most dangerous and most expensive bombers (B-2s) to Guam increases the likelihood of US involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict.

Along with the B-2 bombers, four Boeing KC-46 Pegasus refueling aircraft were also seen, two of which refueled the bombers over the Pacific Ocean. A report by Fox News speculates that the bombers were likely allowed to fly without heavy fuel tanks, as they were carrying a substantial payload, which could include bunker-buster bombs.
