President Donald Trump has escalated tensions with Iran, threatening bombing on a massive scale if the country does not agree to a new nuclear deal. His remarks coincide with the deployment of B-2 stealth bombers to the Indian Ocean, a strategic move intended to showcase military preparedness. Trump has issued a two-month ultimatum for negotiations, whilst Iran's leadership has hinted at the possibility of indirect talks. This military posturing follows Trump's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement during his presidency, signaling heightened stakes in international relations with Iran.
"If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing," Trump told NBC News' Kristen Welker over the weekend, adding that "it will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before."
Trump withdrew from a landmark 2015 nuclear deal with Iran during his first term in office.
A spokesperson for Air Force Global Strike Command confirmed that there are B-2s at Diego Garcia, though they would not say how many.
Their mission is to deter, detect, and, if necessary, defeat strategic attacks against the United States and its allies.
