According to the Russian Satellite Agency on May 8, the US "Aerospace Forces" cited flight tracking data and published an article saying that the United States has dispatched several B-52 strategic bombers to the Indian Ocean Digo Garcia base.

U.S. President Trump previously threatened in an interview with NBC that if the United States and Iran cannot sign a nuclear program agreement, they will carry out "unprecedented bombing." The Wall Street Journal reported at the end of March that against the backdrop of Israel's continuous attacks and threats to sail the Red Sea, the United States dispatched several B-2 "ghost" stealth bombers to the Indian Ocean's Digo Garcia Island base, sending signals to Iran and Houthi forces.

According to reports, Trump has repeatedly warned Iran not to support the Houthi armed forces, and threatened Iran to take military measures to continue developing its nuclear program.
