Iranians shouldn’t strut around if they remember of our US Air Force B-2 stealth bombers were deployed to the Diego Garcia island in the Indian Ocean on March 29, 2025.

Some highlights....
Each carries a variety of items including the B83 variable-yield thermonuclear gravity bomb with a maximum yield of 1.2 megatons of TNT equivalent. A B-2 can carry 16 of them each.

The bomber can also drop conventional weapons such as up to eighty 500-pound class Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs.

The B-2 can perform attack missions at altitudes of up to 50,000 feet.

The US and Israel have some other aircraft ready, also.

Should say FOUR B-2 bombers were deployed there.
