According to Reuters on May 12, U.S. officials told Reuters on the 12th that the U.S. military is replacing B-2 bombers deployed at a base in the Indo-Pacific region with other bombers. The base is considered an ideal location for U.S. troops to operate in the Middle East.
In March this year, the Pentagon deployed up to six B-2 bombers at a U.S.-UK military base on Digo Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean. At that time, the United States was launching a bombing in Yemen, and tensions with Iran were intensifying.
Experts say these B-2 bombers deployed here can travel to the Middle East for operations. The B-2 bomber has stealth technology and can carry the heaviest bombs and nuclear weapons in the United States.
Officials who requested not to be named said the U.S. military is replacing the B-2 bombers with B-52 bombers.
A new round of negotiations held by Iran and the United States negotiators to resolve the dispute over Iran's nuclear program ended in Oman on the 11th. Trump has threatened that he would take military action against Iran if diplomatic efforts fail. (Translated by Zheng Guoyi)
