The United States has deployed four B-2 stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, positioning them within striking range of Iran. This military move serves as a warning to Tehran regarding potential consequences for its nuclear program if a diplomatic agreement is not reached. The B-2 bombers are specifically capable of launching the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators, which are designed to penetrate deep underground targets. Experts suggest that while this deployment signals heightened tensions in the Middle East, any military action would likely only result in a temporary setback for Iran's nuclear ambitions. The deployment underscores the strategic importance of the B-2 bombers, developed by Northrop Grumman, as a key component of the U.S. long-range strike capabilities.
