Six B-2 stealth bombers headed to Guam from their US base
Flight tracking data indicated that six B-2 stealth bombers took flight from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. They look like they’re enroute to Guam. These aircraft are capable of carrying the bunker buster bombs that could potentially “do a number” on Iran’s Fordow nuclear site. Art of the deal? Whether this is a routine exercise or a part of a bigger plan, President Donald Trump recently provided a two-week timeline for an Iran decision.
From Fox News:
Six B-2 stealth bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri appear to be en route to a U.S. Air Force base in Guam, according to flight tracking data and voice communications with air traffic control.
The bombers apparently refueled after launching from Missouri, suggesting they launched without full fuel tanks due to a heavy onboard payload, which could be bunker-buster bombs.
The B-2 can carry two 15-ton bunker-buster bombs–which only the U.S. possesses. Experts say the bombs could be critical to targeting Iran’s most heavily fortified nuclear site: Fordow.
Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital that “destroying [Fordow] from the air is a job only the U.S. can do.”
According to Jonathan Ruhe, Director of Foreign Policy for JINSA, the bunker-busters are designed to use the force of gravity to “penetrate through any mixture of earth, rock, and concrete before the bomb itself then explodes” underground. The explosion that ensues could take out the target fully or “collapse the structure” around the target “without necessarily obliterating it,” he explained.

Riddle me this. If an American B2 drops bombs on Iran would that be a declaration of war? Also riddle me this…do I hear Lindsay Graham going fapfpapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfapfap in the corner?
We shorely are putting a lot of high priced assets into harm’s way.
Prepare
Does Houtis, an Iranian proxy, firing Iranian missiles at US Warships count as Iran declaring war?
Possibly…was the Israeli attack on US Liberty an act of war? We’ve discussed the Houtis attack here in the past and the general agreement is we should’ve immediately hit the launchers/bases with every thing we had nearby, instead of just waiting for another barrage to arrive.
My personal opinion is that we don’t owe ANYONE in the ME a damn thing and should just sit back and let the mofos slaughter one another as they have been doing for thousands of years. YMMV
Yep, totally with you that we should have spanked the Houthis hard, right away, after attacking US Warships. (We did hit them, but they’ll get back up from that.)
Part of the problem in the Middle East, however, is that there are numerous cycles of countries, ethnic groups, and other entities engaging in actions against one another. It feels like if any country wants to be mad at another country, there is plenty of history to point at, in both directions.
One thing that is certain about the current situation is that Iran has been going out of their way, using proxies, to make things worse rather than better, with one of its aims being to create a conflict that will lead to the destruction of Israel.
Well said! Trump ran on not starting anymore wars. Granted he didn’t start this one.
It sure feels like Israel felt that by doing it they could goad us into action since they don’t have the penetrator bomb to do the job. Let them send the commandos that took out that underground complex in Syria.
Well, if Donald kept the idiots in Tehran from building even a crude nuke, more power to him. I kept remembering some book I read a few years back where an unnamed country bundled a dirty nuke into a 40 foot container and dropped it off in a Southern port in the US. That would likely have been the scenario for the mullahs, not like they have much of an air force.
If we sit back let Iran destroy shipping and kill sailors in the region with missile attacks (some ours, some allied) then we are stupid.
Iran has been at war with the US since 1979.
“Mahdi Army”?
Never her of her.
Soon to be “An Army of One” ???
It is not a “declaration of war.” But it is an act of war.
I didn’t know we had six of them. God speed the crews.
Another view on all of this ‘beans…makes for an interesting read.

Good read but needs to go back further than the mideast.
I was born under the premise that WW2 was over and the
world would entertain peace on earth.
Them came Korea. Then Viet of the Nam. Then ………
And not just my generation but all that follow.
I hope and pray for peace but the cost is going to be high
and may not come in my lifetime.
“The war is not meant to be won…The War is meant to be continuous…”
Just need to add Fortunate Son by CCR.

Haha, rotf, that’s very good, almost tried to sing along! My kingdom to have even one note!
I’m happy you liked it.
20 B-2s are currently in the inventory.
The six sent to Guam didn’t participate. We are aware that they have assets on Guam watching for launches and they were sent there with leaked media to ensure that the Iranians were paying attention there and not elsewhere. As it was, the attack was a complete surprise so far as the timing.
I thought it was 19?
It is.

Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best…
To negotiate for peace, you must show your enemy you are prepared for war…
Best outcome.
‘Too many jocks, not enough thinkers’ I fear.
So, will the Iranians actually come to the table, or will they do the usual and try to stash what they have somewhere else? IMO we’re paying the price for past administrations pussyfooting around as well as enabling them like B. Hussein 0bama and Biden did!
Not to mention how Jimmy Carter had ’em quaking in their Keds.
I never will understand why the 0bama and Brandon admins gave in to them, knowing that one day, they too would be in danger of what would come.
Probably because they knew it wouldn’t be their problem when the time came to deal with them. Let the next guy do it.
To undermine American Hegemony.
They believed the world was unfair and all nations should be “equal”.
A nightmare scenario.
The quickest way lower American domination is a two pronged approach of lowering American power while rising the power of America’s enemies.
I still can’t believe so many million Americans voted for those fools.
I sure hope they’ve anchored and ballasted the far side of the island. I’d hate to see it capsize.
That’s what the B-52’s are for.
I TOLD YOU THAT COULD HAPPEN!!!
Have you seen ol’ Hank’s latest impression of Jimmy Hendrix, singing a threatening song against the Orange Man becoming a king?
I did. Jimi needs to return from rock and roll
heaven and haunt the shit out of him.
And to think the ole Hank is one of the important people that is North of Richmond make decisions for all of us serfs.
Number of acts Democrats have tried to stop Trump from becoming King of America = 34,988,769
Number of times Trump has tried to be king = 0
They are winning BIG!
Sheesh. He seems to remember the chords but he didn’t even bother to tune a SRV aka Stevie Ray Vaughn Strat that evidently was right off the shelf.
Art of the Deal…Mullah’s come to the table, Peace in the Middle East.
B2’s level California, Gavin Newsom surrenders…
Not all of California, LA, San Francisco and Sacramento, the rest of the state will fall in line.
San Jose count as part of San Francisco? Asking for a
friendmyself.I suspect if they’ve transited to Guam, the next step would be a show of force and sending them and about 3 tankers to Diego Garcia.
we need the late Slim Pickens to ride the bomb down waving his cowboy hat.
Would you settle for that sissy, Van Hollen, instead?
Classic.
Just in… We done bombed Iran!
BOHICA
Spirit of ’79, baby!

As my better, Peach State Reb, and I have been sayin’ for a mintue: Prepare.
They’re here and I don’t pretend to know what’ll happen, but our underbelly is exposed for all to poke.
Yep…and no way…no how…will the Mad Mullahs let this pass. I personally think they invited just this type thing to happen, just so they, in their mind, could claim to the world the we started it and they will unleash their sleepers.
Time for the Brass & Trash call. If Hack Stone was still on active duty, he most likely would be receiving a star on his Precious Metals Recovery Expert Badge.
With “U” device
USAF just bombed Iran’s underground uranium enrichment facility.
Yep. And CNN and democrats both have a case of the vapors.
More…
Game time.
Always have…
Bernie Sanders
Stern without the charm
66 hostages were taken with 52 being held until Reagan took office. Eight were released and six escaped with a CIA operation assisted by Canadian operatives.
Sanders wasn’t a socialist party leader at that time, there was no socialist party in Vermont then, although Sanders had declared himself as an affiliate. Sanders, who was a mayor then, made no statements about the situation in Iran.
Fordow just went BOOM!

It’s a rookie move, trying to look tough. Once these things start, they get out of hand quickly. Iraq, Afghanistan( USSR and US), Vietnam, Sadam’s invasion of Kuwait, etc, etc.
So, Iran with nukes was a better option?
If Iran has nukes, than Saudi Arabia has get nukes, than Egypt wants nukes, and so on…
Not the most stable part of the world to armed to the teeth.
Looking at the logistics & execution, ain’t nuttin’ rookie goin’ on here.
And to hear the “media” talk, hegseth is out of his league. Seems he put those accusations out with tomorrow’s trash.
I’m thinking you are wrong but I discount or down vote your comment. It could happen
“[don’t] discount or down vote”
I down vote his weasel post because fear cannot paralyze us from doing what we know is right.
The Mullahs cannot have the bomb.
Welp, we just bombed the mullahs. Where I stand with this is I will only support the decapitation of Iran’s nuke program. No protracted conflict in the Gulf, no invasion of Iran, no regime change (unless it’s by the hands of the Persian people), and no nation building. I truely hope Mr. Trump can keep this from becoming bigger than what it is now
Also, cue the MIC Republicans advocating for this to become bigger (so they can get kickbacks from Raytheon and the like).
Exactly. Stay focused on the stated intent, to remove any capability or Iran having any ability to acquire a nuclear weapon.
I bet, at this very moment, Ms. Lindsey is trying to get rid of the woody he now sports (im assuming).
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/06/well-done-president-trump-outspoken-war-pig-lindsey/
That bastard is a fucking snake-in-the-grass! I didn’t pay much attention to politics before Trump. I first learned about the alleged “honorable” Lindsey when he was defending then-Judge Kavanaugh. It went downhill from there. More I learned about him, the less I liked. Nowadays, when I hear his name come up, it brings up the humiliating memory that I once thought he was alright. Such was my naivety, back then. I continue to hope, in vain, that the S. Carolinans sack his ass.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. I too at one time thought he was decent. Funny what age and paying more attention will do for you.
Thank you, but I’m not too terribly hard on myself. After all, to live is to learn.
We should have enough work rebuilding and rearming our forces after years of neglect. Add in Golden Dome, and Raytheon should feel like a bar on payday.
One additional plus side is that this demonstrated our resolve & competence. China was paying attention to this, no doubt. This actually makes it less likely we get in another war, as it means FAFO is alive and well.
President Trump trolled the Russians in one of his posts. Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president, talked smack about other countries giving Iran some nukes. In his post, Trump asked if this was the case.
Then he proceeded to talk up the precision strikes done by submarines and air. One of the reasons that this was a burn against the Russians? They’re missing a lot of their targets in neighboring Ukraine while the US is hitting targets thousands of miles away from the U.S.
Good.

The fly-fly boys done good! #USAF #MOP
The mullahs will be talking tough now:
I thought their camels had two humps.
The have both. Single-humped is actually more common there.
That’s why the camels are happy when humpday wednesday comes along.
Wednesday is Prince spagetti day:
https://youtu.be/P8ti1hnLiLw
The Mullahs got double-humped six times.
At Fordow.
“Just the tip!”
It’s all good now. They are on their way back home!
We have sleepers and invaders.
Stay strapped, head on a swivel and situational awareness.
Report anything and everything.
Is there a dark mode for TAH?
Like the words are white and the background is black?
So, how many North Korean scientists will not be returning to their homeland after holidaying in Iran?
You can be sure their families will be well compensated for
any unfortunate industrial mishaps while on the job.
B-2’s go all the in and all the out, and the only way those camel jockeys knew they were the was the echoes of the blasts…
BZ to all those involved. Lets hope this display dissuades Iran from taking it further.
Before America was known as The Great Satan. After this weekend, we have been upgraded to Unfuckingbleievable Awesome Satan. That allows us priority boarding on all domestic flights.
Given the state of air travel this year not sure that is a good thing.
If you are flying anywhere in the Middle East your flight is delayed or cancelled today.
