Iran “doesn't want nuclear weapons,” President Masuud Pezeshkian argued on February 6th. Ha! The UN said it was within weeks of Iran producing enough rich uranium for a few bombs, so no one believed him. Incidentally, national security adviser Mike Waltz was explained about this risk by his predecessor, Jake Sullivan.
If that day comes when Iran comes too close to the bomb, there is one US fighter who gets a call: the B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. Only the B-2 has the survivability and payload to target deep buried weapon sites.
Iranian terrorist devices have been weakened by Israeli attacks, but their nuclear ambitions have become stronger than ever. Iran began enriching uranium to 60% in 2021. It is the only country that has become rich to the point that it does not have nuclear weapons.
Iran's top leader says nuclear talks with Trump's administrators wouldn't be “wise.”
Former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in August it would be “probably a week or two” as Iran will be able to fill the 90% needed to build nuclear weapons. A UN inspector who visited Iran in November confirmed that Iran was supplying more partially enriched uranium to the cascade of two centrifuges at the Fodow Nuclear Power Station south of Tehran. .

If Iran collects bombs, the trigger moment comes. problem? “Most of Iran's nuclear programme is underground and very well protected,” said Rafael Grossi, executive director of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), on December 6th. Grossi explained.
You need vast power, you call the B-2. The B-2 first saw the battle in the 1999 war with Serbia. To date, 21 B-2s have been built, and the Air Force still operates 19 from Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri.
I flew to a B-2 bomber on a beautiful summer afternoon in Missouri, but it's a different world. Note to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegses: Place yourself on your B-2 flight list as soon as possible!
A pure flying wing without a straight fuselage, the B-2 is essentially one giant bomb bay attached to a 172-foot wing with a serrated edge. The engine is invisible, but four are packed into its internal organs. Nothing hangs from the wings. In combat stealth mode, the antenna and running lights are pushed out. The shape of the B-2's flying wings, curved surfaces, and coatings of radar absorbers are calculated to spoof the enemy's air defense prevention suppression radar. The flat metal surface reflects the enormous energy to scan enemy radars, while the stealth B-2 absorbs, dissipates and transmits radar returns.
The B-2 can fly straight for two days. The B-2 can take off from the US, carry out bombing missions in the Middle East and return with the support of an aerial refuel tanker that supplies more than 1,000 gallons of fuel per minute.
Only the B-2 carries 30,000 pounds. The GBU-57 (represents a guided bomb unit). The GBU-57 is a plastic explosive that is developed by the Air Force, such as a sophisticated propellant, and is extremely energetic and can be used to prevent shocks. It's packed so that it's not sensitive. A must-have for destroying deep buried, hardened targets.
Destroying potential Iranian nuclear weapons production lines requires careful, timed, accurate, heavy ammunition to penetrate the Earth and concrete, and collapse the facility and penetrate the craters. It ensures that targeting options have already been created and that intelligence and tactics are evaluated and updated regularly. Each B-2 is assigned multiple objective points for overwhelming blows.

In fact, that's one of the reasons it hit Yemen's B-2 in October. According to the Pentagon, this was also a unique demonstration of the US ability to target facilities that are buried deep underground, strengthened and strengthened, but are seeking to remain out of reach of the enemy. -2 Spirit Long Range Stealth Bomber Shows [sic] The US's ability to take action against these targets anytime, anywhere, when necessary.” I said Pentagon release October 16th. That's you, Iran.

Other aircraft are supported, including F/A-18 and F-35 from the airline's Aviation Aviation, as well as the land F-35, F-22 and F-16. The F-15 can also carry a 5,000 pound GBU-72. A weapon tested by the US Air Force in 2021. Israel already employs the old GBU-28 bunker buster, so it could be a part of it.
What happens if Iran actually fires a nuclear weapon? We saw a rehearsal of that unthinkable scenario in 2024. In April, Iran launched a medium-range ballistic missile towards Israel. In response, USS Navy Destroyer Early bark and uss Carney It launches its own standard missile 3 into the Great Exo Region. Against the cold background of space, the SM-3s picked up thermal signatures on Iranian missile warheads and used hit-to-kill technology to intercept them.

With nuclear warheads, interests are even higher. Best case: Exomosholic killing mid-course, smashing nuclear warheads into a blacksmith before the explosion. Worst case: extensive coverage of electrical and magnetic pulse fly electronics, power grids, communications and other critical infrastructure.
You can see why Iran does not have nuclear weapons. The American B-2 stealth bomber is ready to make sure it never happens.
