The USA strengthens its military presence near Iran.


The US military has deployed six B-2 Spirit strategic bombers at Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, about 3,800 kilometers from Iran. Satellite images showed the aircraft on the runway and other military equipment was observed.
This buildup occurs amid strained relations with Iran and the resumption of negotiations regarding the nuclear program. President Donald Trump reiterated that Iran 'must never have a nuclear bomb' and threatens 'severe measures' should negotiations fail, Bild reports.
The B-2 bombers are capable of bypassing air defense systems and dropping powerful concrete-penetrating bombs weighing 14 tons - the most powerful non-nuclear munitions in the world. Each aircraft can carry two of these bombs. This weapon would be necessary for strikes against Iran, as its nuclear facilities are located deep underground. B-2 bombers are already participating in operations against the Houthis in Yemen.
The Pentagon has expanded its military plans regarding Iran and does not rule out the possibility of nuclear strikes. In turn, Tehran threatens attacks on Diego Garcia base.
