  • US stealth bombers moving over Pacific, US media say

US media outlets say multiple US Air Force B-2 stealth bombers have taken off from a US base in Missouri, and were heading westward. The B-2 bomber can carry special bombs known as "bunker busters." President Donald Trump is reportedly considering using them to destroy nuclear facilities in Iran.

The outlets cited US officials as telling them that the US is moving the bombers to the Pacific island of Guam. The reports added that it remains unclear whether the move is related to Middle East tensions. The reports say this could be a show of force by the US military against the Iranian forces, and could also be an attempt to increase strategic options for the US.
