B-2 Stealth Bombers Deploying to UK Bases 'In Days' After Trump Pressures Starmer on Iran

B-2 Spirit stealth bombers are set to deploy to British military bases within days after President Trump pressured Prime Minister Keir Starmer to deepen the UK's involvement in Operation Epic Fury, Fox News reports. The deployment to RAF Fairford and the Indian Ocean base at Diego Garcia would mark a significant escalation of the air campaign against Iran, positioning America's most advanced strategic bombers closer to the theater of operations and signaling that the strikes are entering a new, more intensive phase. The B-2 — the only aircraft capable of delivering massive ordnance penetrator bunker-buster bombs against Iran's deeply buried nuclear facilities — has already been used in the opening days of the campaign. The deployment to UK bases follows Britain's earlier decision to authorize the use of its military installations for American strikes and the Royal Air Force's interception of Iranian drones threatening Cyprus and Qatar.
