America today began moving its dreaded B-2 Bombers to the Pacific Ocean military base of Quam.
The development is the first time the strategic military assets would be moved since the ongoing military conflict between Israel and Iran began last week.
Sources who broke news of the development did not say how many of the bombers had been ordered moved.
America has 21 units of the assault aircraft which is the only one capable of carrying the giant 30,000 pound bunker Burster bomb that can burst objects as deep as 250 feet underground.
The bomb is the single largest Non-nuclear bomb in the arsenal of America and Israel hopes America will deploy it to strike down the Fordaw Nuclear power plant, which is 270 feet below a rocky mountain.
Today’s development means that Iran is now within striking distance of the giant aircraft, which is also called the Big Ugly Flying Fighter.
However, it remained unclear tonight if the movement of the aircraft implies that President Donald Trump had ordered a strike as he had threatened, or is he deploying it as a psychological tool in Iran.
On Friday, Trump offered a two-week window to Iran to return to talks over its nuclear programme or face severe American military action.
That offer lapses next week.
Ahead of the offer, he had threatened to kill Iran’ s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, but stressed that the time was not yet rife.
Israel, which launched a surprise military campaign against Iran, allegedly to destroy her nuclear programme, has also killed some of its best military, security and scientific brains, in military strikes.
The deployment of the strategic bombers comes as the Houthis, Iran’s allies in Yemen, threatened to strike American warships and other nearby military and security assets if America makes good its threat to join Israel in its campaign against Iran.
The threat, in a way, is a replica of the earlier one by Iran itself to set ablaze America’s proximate military assets in the Gulf and even close the strategic Homuz Strait to maritime traffic.
The strait is access for a quarter of the global crude oil business, aside from all else.
