The bombers can stay at the Andersen Air Force base in Guam for some time, but the question is for how long. Moving this plane does not mean that the final decision has been made.
In addition to the bombers, eight fueling tankers take off before midnight on Friday at Oklahoma, fly over Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico before turning and landing at the same base as they released, ABC News learned.
Over the past week, speculation has grown whether Trump’s administration will use a large weaponry penetrator weighing 30,000 pounds to target in -depth Uranium Uranium enrichment facilities in Fordrow.
B-2 is the only US Air Force bomber capable of carrying a cruise on the bomb mission, with each bomber can carry two bombs.
Attention shifted to the Whiteman Air Force base in Missouri, which is home to all 19 Bomber B-2 fleets, and whether they might be launched for endless flights to Iran which will require some fuel filling in the air.

Attention is also focused on the small island of British Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean who will give B-2 bomber time flight time is much shorter to Iran.
In April, six B-2 bombers were deployed to the island as part of a sustainable air campaign launched by the Trump government on Houthi militants in Yemen because of their sustainable attack on commercial shipments in the Red Sea region.
The bombers carried out air strikes against the Houthi target in Yemen, but their distribution was also a strategic message for Iran during the increase in tensions between the US and Iran.
