This move places America’s most advanced long-range strike aircraft within range of Iran, amid growing concerns that a preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear infrastructure may be imminent.
While no official confirmation has been given that the bombers are en route to Diego Garcia, analysts and open-source intelligence (OSINT) observers suggest the move is likely.
Diego Garcia, a remote British-controlled base in the Indian Ocean, offers direct strike capability on deep underground Iranian targets like the Fordow enrichment facility, especially with the 30,000-pound GBU-57 bunker-buster that B-2s are uniquely suited to deliver.
Satellite imagery and tanker flight paths hint at extended movement west of Guam. Defense analyst Justin Bronk, along with reporting from Reuters, FT, and The Guardian, suggests that positioning bombers at Diego Garcia would allow for strategic readiness without the diplomatic complications of overflying allies.
The potential movement to Diego Garcia also mirrors previous rotations used for high-stakes deterrence and deep-strike preparation. As of now, however, Diego Garcia deployment remains unconfirmed by U.S. military officials.
This escalation comes as tensions continue to mount between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, triggered by rising threats from Iranian proxies and speculation about Israel’s next move after its recent military actions.
