British Digo Garcia Island is a mysterious island in the Indian Ocean, where the only military base of the US military in the Indian Ocean is built.

Since the Desert Storm Operation in 1991, almost every major military operation of the United States in the Middle East has been launched by bombers from Digo Garcia.

Satellite images in early April showed that six B-2 strategic bombers had been deployed to the Digo Garcia base, accounting for nearly one-third of the U.S. stealth bomber fleet.

The B-2 is currently the only US fighter jet that can carry the giant ground-boring bomb of 30,000 pound GBU-57/B "Boat Savior".

Associated Press reporter Gambrier: If the United States tries to attack and destroy Iran's underground uranium enrichment facilities and its nuclear program, these bombs must be used.

Earlier, at the end of March, the two major aircraft carrier battle groups, Truman and Carl Vinson, had been deployed to the Red Sea.

On April 11, the day before the Oman meeting, the Houthi militants in Yemen said that US fighter jets launched air strikes on Hodeida, and B-2 bombers entered Yemeni airspace and flew over many provinces.

It is generally believed that the large-scale military assembly of US troops in the region is not just to combat the Houthi armed forces close to Iran.

Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the United States: I think the way the United States bombs the Houthi forces now is sending a clear message to Iran that this (Trump) administration is willing to use force, which is in a degree that is beyond the reach of previous Democratic governments.

The United States sharpens its swords and Iran is highly alert.

According to the Tehran Times, missiles across Iran have been loaded into launchers, and missiles can be launched at any time once the United States takes escalation.

According to Western intelligence agencies, Iran has the largest missile arsenal in the Middle East, including more than 3,000 ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, and has built many underground missile cities along the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman as part of the strategic strike system. These missile cities are located at a depth of about 500 meters underground, with extremely high confidentiality and cannot be reconnaissed by general technical means.

In February this year, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released the interior of a missile city.

Iran's Islamic Republic Radio and Television reported that the missile city is located on the southern coast of Iran and can accommodate hundreds of directly launched anti-ship missiles, including the latest cruise missile "Kadr-380" (Ghadr-380), which debuted not long ago. This missile has a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and has anti-jamming capabilities. It can be launched by a single person in 5 minutes and can be quickly deployed when a conflict occurs.

This is seen as a very strong and direct warning sign.

No matter how strong the US air strikes are, it cannot lock in all missile cities at the same time, and Iran's missile rain may be overwhelming to retaliate.

Amir Ali Hajizad, the aerospace commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran: The United States is near Iran, with at least 10 bases and 50,000 troops. They are like people sitting in a glass house, and they dare not throw stones at others.

The British Daily Telegraph quoted an Iranian general as saying that if the conflict broke out, Iran's counterattack would not deliberately distinguish whether the target belongs to the United States or Britain. This seems to refer to the British Digo Garcia Island, which has deployed US B-2 bombers.

The US Newsweek listed several signs that the U.S.-Iran conflict is imminent, including: short-term military deployment, the U.S.-Israel escalates its attack on the "Resistance Front", the U.S. and Iran increase its sanctions on Iran, and the U.S. and Iran show their muscles.
