The article discusses the role of the US B-2 stealth bomber, which is the only aircraft capable of deploying the GBU-57 bunker buster bombs, against Iran's nuclear installations. President Trump is deliberating on military intervention in response to escalating hostilities between Israel and Iran, highlighting the strategic significance of the GBU-57 bomb in targeting deep-seated structures like the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant. While Trump noted Iranian interest in negotiations, he cautioned that the window for talks is closing. The GBU-57 heavy-duty bomb emphasizes US military capabilities and potential shifts in tactics if used against Iran.
The B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is the only aircraft capable of deploying GBU-57 bunkers busters, essential for targeting Iran's fortified nuclear sites.
Trump emphasized that while Iranian officials seek negotiation, the timing is critical, stating it is 'very late to be talking' amid rising tensions.
Analysts suggest the 30,000-pound GBU-57 is the sole weapon powerful enough to destroy the Fordow plant, a crucial element of Iran's nuclear development.
The B-2 can carry two GBU-57 bombs, and the US Air Force states that sequential bombing can significantly enhance the strike's effectiveness.
