B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber Shadows Iranian Airspace

Описание: Tensions between the United States and Iran escalated again in late January 2026, with reports of strategic movements of B-2 Spirit stealth bombers.
Here are the latest highlights of the situation:
Deployment to Diego Garcia: Military observers noted the redeployment of B-2 Spirit bombers from Whiteman Air Force Base to Diego Garcia Air Base in the Indian Ocean. This move is considered preparation for a potential long-range strike due to its closer proximity to Iranian territory.
Threat of Precision Strike: The US president is reportedly considering military options against Iranian military and nuclear facilities if a diplomatic agreement is not reached. The B-2 Spirit is a key instrument due to its ability to penetrate advanced air defenses and carry GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator bunker-buster bombs to hit underground facilities in the Zagros Mountains.
Military "Decoy" Action: Intelligence analysis suggests that the presence of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the region may have served as a public "decoy" to distract Iranian air defenses, while the B-2 Spirits moved quietly in the background.
Historical Context: This tension follows a major attack by seven B-2 Spirits on Iranian nuclear sites (Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan) in June 2025, during a 37-hour non-stop mission from Missouri.
Iran's Response: In response to this threat, Iran put its missile forces on alert and closed its airspace in anticipation of a possible attack at short notice.
