In a dramatic escalation of military support, the U.S. Congress has just introduced the Bunkerbuster Act, paving the way for the transfer of America’s most powerful B2 stealth bombers to Israel. This urgent legislative move comes as Iran intensifies its nuclear ambitions, rebuilding its program in the wake of recent U.S. and Israeli airstrikes that targeted its nuclear facilities.
Representatives Josh Gottheimer and Mike Lawler unveiled the bill in a rare bipartisan effort, aiming to authorize President Trump to send these advanced bombers, along with 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs, to Israel. However, the legislation includes a critical stipulation: the transfer will only occur if Iran resumes its nuclear weapons development.
Gottheimer emphasized the stakes, declaring, “Iran, the leading state sponsor of terror, can never have a nuclear weapon.” This strategic maneuver underscores America’s commitment to thwarting a nuclear-armed Iran through decisive military action. Currently, the U.S. operates between 19 and 24 B2 bombers, assets that have never been shared with foreign nations.
Last month, U.S. B2 bombers executed a coordinated strike, dropping 14 bunker busters on Iran’s key nuclear sites, with Trump claiming these strikes “totally obliterated” Iran’s program. Yet, Iranian officials have suspended cooperation with international nuclear inspectors, raising alarm about potential secret developments.
The urgency of the Bunkerbuster Act reflects growing fears over Iran’s nuclear capabilities, with reports indicating they possess enough nuclear material for nine weapons. Representative Lawler stated, “We must ensure Israel is prepared for all contingencies,” highlighting the bill’s role in reinforcing Israel’s deterrent capabilities against Iran’s fortified underground facilities.
As tensions escalate, the world watches closely. Will Iran heed the warning and abandon its nuclear ambitions, or will it accelerate its development in response to this unprecedented U.S. military support? The answer could reshape the Middle East’s stability for years to come. Congress has sent a clear message: America stands ready to prevent a nuclear Iran.
