They look like they&#8217;re enroute to Guam. These aircraft are capable of carrying the bunker buster bombs that could potentially &#8220;do a number&#8221; on Iran&#8217;s Fordow nuclear site. Art of the deal? Whether this is a routine exercise or a part of a bigger plan, President Donald Trump recently provided a two-week timeline for an Iran decision.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri appear to be en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, according to flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control.<\/p>\n<p>The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs.<\/p>\n<p>The B-2 can carry two 15-ton bunker-buster bombs&#8211;which only the U.S. possesses. Experts say the bombs could be critical to targeting Iran&#8217;s most heavily fortified nuclear site: Fordow.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that &#8220;destroying [Fordow] from the air is a job only the U.S. can do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Jonathan Ruhe, Director of Foreign Policy for JINSA, the bunker-busters are designed to use the force of gravity to &#8220;penetrate through any mixture of earth, rock, and concrete before the bomb itself then explodes&#8221; underground. The explosion that ensues could take out the target fully or &#8220;collapse the structure&#8221; around the target &#8220;without necessarily obliterating it,&#8221; he explained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tomlinson, L., &amp; Wolf, R.
