The US military has deployed additional warplanes to the Middle East amid mounting tensions with Iran. Up to six B-2 bombers have been relocated to a US-British military base on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, according to anonymous US officials. The B-2 bombers, equipped with stealth technology and capable of carrying heavy bombs and nuclear weapons, are well-positioned to operate in the Middle East. The move comes after US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with bombing and secondary tariffs if an agreement over its nuclear program is not reached.
