In Video: Trump meets national security team as B-2 bombers head to Guam, Israel-Iran conflict escalates

Tension Runs High as US Considers Strike on Iran

In a sudden and ominous move, the Pentagon has deployed multiple B-2 stealth bombers from a Missouri air base to Guam, according to two defense officials. The mission remains unclear, but the timing is raising eyebrows as President Trump meets with his national security team, weighing whether to strike Iran.

The potential US attack is focused on Iran’s Fordo nuclear site, a half-mile underground, which is believed to be one of the few facilities that can withstand aerial strikes. The B-2 bombers are capable of dropping 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, which could potentially destroy the facility.

Israel Escalates Attacks on Iran

Meanwhile, the Israeli military is escalating attacks on Iran, saying it has hit critical locations deep inside the country using 60 fighter jets guided by precise intelligence. Iranian leaders have announced that 400 people have been killed in a week of Israeli strikes, with most of them being civilians.

Intelligence Community Scrutiny

The US intelligence community has been criticized for its assessment that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been accused of being wrong by the White House, with the President stating, "Well, then my intelligence community is wrong."

A Diplomatic Breakthrough Unlikely

Despite the threats, a line of communication between the US and Iran remains open, but a diplomatic breakthrough appears unlikely. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has suggested that Israel has the capability to remove Iran’s nuclear facilities itself, which could lead to a further escalation of the conflict.

US Citizens in Israel Rush Home

As the attacks continue, American citizens in Israel are being evacuated from the country. The US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has stated that the US is now arranging assisted departure flights from Israel for US citizens. However, with Israeli airspace closed, 2,800 young Jews visiting the country as part of the Birthright Israel program have taken to the seas in order to leave.

A New Era of Conflict?

The conflict between Iran and Israel has raised concerns about the stability of the region and the potential for a new era of conflict. As the situation continues to escalate, the world is holding its breath, waiting to see what the outcome will be.
