U.S. B-2 stealth bombers departed Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on Saturday, headed west with aerial refueling support, according to air traffic control data and online tracking sources. The aircraft, capable of delivering 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, are likely being positioned for potential strikes on Iran’s underground nuclear facility at Fordow.

Though the movement does not signal a definitive strike order, it marks a major escalation in U.S. military posturing. Flight trackers suggest Guam could be their destination, though this remains unconfirmed.

Trump to Convene Situation Room Meetings

President Donald Trump, who spent the weekend at his Bedminster golf club, is scheduled to return to the White House to meet with his national security team at 6 p.m. on Saturday and again Sunday. The discussions are expected to weigh whether to join Israel’s military campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

Decision Window: Two Weeks for Diplomacy

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated on Wednesday that the president has given Iran “a final chance” to come to the table, pledging a decision within two weeks. Trump said the delay allows time “to see whether or not people come to their senses.”

The president has long vowed to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and sees Israel’s recent strikes—begun on June 12—as a potential tipping point for a U.S.-backed operation.

Internal Debate and Risks of Wider War

The administration is divided. Some advisers urge seizing the moment to destroy Iran’s deeply buried facilities while its defenses are vulnerable. Others warn that U.S. strikes risk dragging the country into another prolonged conflict in the region—a scenario Trump campaigned to avoid.

The Fordow site, buried under a mountain, is considered nearly impervious to anything short of a direct hit by the U.S.’s most powerful conventional bombs—delivered by aircraft like the B-2.
