BREAKING NEWS Deadly stealth warplane only available to US was deployed overseas prior to military attack on three Iranian nuclear sites

The US military moved a number of deadly stealth bombers, which only they have in their arsenal, to a Air Force base in Guam prior to the attack on three Iranian nuclear sites.
On Saturday morning six of the B-2 stealth bombers docked at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri were on the move to Andersen Air Force Base.
The warplane is the only bomber capable of carrying a 30,000-pound bomb that was likely used in Saturday nights attack on three separate nuclear facilities in Iran.
President Donald Trump announced the US carried out a 'very successful attack' on the sites in a post on Truth Social.
'We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan ', Trump said .
'All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.'
The bomb, known as the GBU-57 or the Massive Ordinance Penetrator, is something only the US military possesses.
The Fordo fuel enrichment plant is buried deep within a mountain system in Iran, but experts don't know exactly how deep.
These aircraft are capable of carrying a payload as heavy as the 30,000-pound bunker buster bomb (pictured) that the US military could use to destroy a fortified nuclear facility in Iran called Fordo
Experts who spoke to The New York Times believe the facility at its shallowest is 250 feet deep, but could be as much as 30 feet deeper.
Nonetheless, GBU-57 is the only way to assuredly wipe out the facility, short of using a nuclear device.
Jonathan Ruhe, the director of foreign policy for the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, said this type of bomb is designed to use the force of gravity to 'penetrate through any mixture of earth, rock, and concrete before the bomb itself then explodes' underground.
Ruhe told Fox News that the explosion could take out the facility fully or 'collapse the structure' around the target 'without necessarily obliterating it.'
The precision-guided bomb is designed to attack deeply buried and hardened bunkers and tunnels, according to the U.S. Air Force.
It's believed to be able to penetrate about 200 feet below the surface before exploding.
The bombs can be dropped one after another, effectively drilling deeper and deeper with each successive blast.
The B-2, which is capable of carrying nuclear arms, is only flown by the Air Force, and is produced by Northrop Grumman.
It first saw action in 1999 in the Kosovo War, and is rarely used by the U.S. military in combat as each aircraft is worth some $1 billion.
Prior to the attack in Iran, the military last used them in October of last year to combat Yemen's Houthi rebels and their underground bunkers. It has dropped bombs in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya as well.
The strategic long-range heavy bomber has a range of about 7,000 miles (11,000 kilometers) without refueling and 11,500 miles (18,500 kilometers) with one refueling, and can reach any point in the world within hours, according to Northrop Grumman.
America's involvement in the Middle Eastern conflict comes as Israel and Iran have been launching tit-for-tat airstrikes against one another for the last week.
The war between the two countries began when Israel launched what it called Operation Rising Lion on Friday, June 13.
Israel targeted nuclear sites and military sites within Iran, while also killing many of Iran's top military commanders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the operation against Iran would last 'as many days as it takes.'
'We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear enrichment program. We struck at the heart of Iran's nuclear weaponization program. We targeted Iran's main enrichment facility in Natanz. We targeted Iran's leading nuclear scientists working on the Iranian bomb. We also struck at the heart of Iran's ballistic missile program,' he said in a seven-minute video released shortly after what Israel called pre-emptive strikes.
So far, Israel's strikes have killed 657 people in Iran, while Iran has killed 24 people in Israel.
Israel's objective, to stop Iran from compiling enough fissile material to make a nuke, cannot be completed until the Fordo facility is destroyed.
That's why Israel has been asking the Trump administration to get involved in the conflict, since the US is the only nation with the capability to strike at Fordo.
For days, Trump has been coy about whether the US will in fact enter the war and fly a mission to Fordo.
On Wednesday, he told reporters who were asking him about it: 'You don't seriously think I'm going to answer that question. Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component?'
'I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble. And they want to negotiate. And I say why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction,' he said.
Trump warned that Tehran has a 'maximum' of two weeks to avoid possible American air strikes if they don't abandon their nuclear ambitions. At a conference on Thursday, Karoline Leavitt said Trump would be making a decision in the next 14 days.
Trump recently publicly disagreed with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who testified in March that there is 'no evidence' Iran is building a nuclear weapon.
'She's wrong,' Trump said Friday in New Jersey just off to the side of Air Force One. 'My intelligence community is wrong.'
Gabbard has since reversed course and clarified that Iran could produce nukes 'within weeks to months, if they decide to finalize the assembly.'
'President Trump has been clear that can't happen, and I agree,' she added.
Back in March 2023, the International Atomic Energy Agency said that some uranium at the Fordo site had been enriched to 83.7 percent purity - dangerously close to the 90 percent level necessary for nuclear bombs.
Fordo is smaller than the Natanz site, which has already been targeted by Israeli strikes.
As well as being some 260 feet under rock and soil, the site is reportedly protected by Iranian and Russian surface-to-air missile systems.
Those air defenses, however, are believed to have been weakened by recent Israeli attacks.
Additionally, any US strike carries significant political and diplomatic risks for Trump, who has long warned against entangling the US in overseas conflicts.
For example, Russia has warned that US involvement could 'radically destabilize the Middle East.'
Military engagement could also jeopardize any chance of Trump's desired talks with Iran over its nuclear program.

What is the Strait of Hormuz and why does it matter to global trade?

The UK could be hit hard if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz in response to American strikes on its nuclear sites Fears of a widening conflict in the Middle East have deepened in recent days after the US bombed Iran. President Donald Trump made the unprecedented decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend. The UK was not involved in the air strikes but was informed beforehand. John Swinney has called for the conflict to end, while Keir Starmer said Iran's nuclear programme is a "grave threat" which US military action would "alleviate". ‌ The world is now bracing for Iran's response to the US joining Israel in the biggest western military action against the Islamic Republic since its 1979 revolution. ‌ One way Iran could hit back, according to analysts, is to close off the strait of Hormuz, a vital trade route, through which over a fifth of the world's oil supply, 20m barrels, and much of its liquified gas, passes each day. Iran's parliament approved a measure to close the strait. Iran has threatened to close the strait in the past, which would restrict trade and impact global oil prices, but has never followed through. This time may be different, though. What is the strait of Hormuz? The strait of Hormuz lies between Oman and Iran and links the Gulf to the north with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond. It is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with the shipping lane just 3km wide. The strait is one of the world's most important oil chokepoints and is crucial to the US and beyond, as the strength of the global economy is heavily dependent on the flow of oil. Why is it so important? ‌ About one-fifth of the world's total oil consumption passes through the strait. Between the start of 2022 and last month, approximately 17.8 million to 20.8m barrels of crude, condensate, and fuels flowed through the strait daily, according to data from analytics firm Vortexa. Members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) – Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq – export most of their crude via the strait, mainly to Asia. The US Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, is tasked with protecting commercial shipping in the area. ‌ What happens if it closes? Closing the strait would trigger a global oil crisis, skyrocket inflation rates and potentially plunge the economy into a downturn. On Sunday, specialists cautioned that such a move to shut the strait might also elicit "a significant military response" from both the US and its allies. Ami Daniel, CEO of maritime data company Windward, noted that even the mere "perception" of an Iranian assault on shipping could reduce maritime traffic to a mere trickle. ‌ Countless drivers could be hit with soaring fuel costs at the filling stations. The UK, which relies on imports for roughly half its oil supply, stands to be particularly exposed. Iran has been warned that shutting down the strait would be tantamount to "economic suicide", as reported by The Telegraph. ‌ US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called on Iran's allies, including China, to exert pressure on Tehran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, stating that any closure would be a "terrible mistake". Iranian oil also uses the same gateway, and shutting Hormuz risks bringing Gulf Arab states, who have been highly critical of the Israeli attack, into the war to safeguard their own interests, according to The Guardian. China would be particularly affected. The world's second-largest economy buys almost 90 per cent of Iran's oil exports, which are subject to international sanctions. ‌ What is Iran saying about the strait? Iranian lawmakers have voted to obstruct vital shipping routes through this key waterway after Trump decided to engage in the conflict between Israel and Iran. Iran's Press TV reported at the weekend that the Iranian parliament approved a measure to close the strait of Hormuz However, the vote by the Iranian parliament is not definitive, and state television has emphasised that the ultimate decision lies with Iran's top security officials. ‌ On Sunday Iran's foreign minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, said that Trump's decision to bomb Iran " will have everlasting consequences". Israel has made a "grave mistake" and "must be punished." He did not, however, make any specific reference to the strait of Hormuz. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Succession plans for Iran's Khamenei hit top gear

DUBAI, June 23 (Reuters) - The clock's ticking for senior clerics seeking a successor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A three-man committee from a top clerical body, appointed by Khamenei himself two years ago to identify his replacement, has accelerated its planning in recent days since Israel attacked Iran and threatened to assassinate the veteran leader, five insiders with knowledge of the discussions told Reuters. Khamenei, 86, is being regularly briefed on the talks, according to the Iranian sources who requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive matters. He has gone into hiding with his family and is being guarded by the Vali-ye Amr special forces unit of the Revolutionary Guards, a top security official said. The ruling establishment will immediately seek to name a successor to Khamenei if he is killed, to signal stability and continuity, according to the sources who acknowledged that predicting Iran's subsequent political trajectory was difficult. A new leader will still be chosen for his devotion to the revolutionary precepts of the Islamic Republic's late founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, according to one insider, who is close to Khamenei's office and privy to succession discussions. At the same time, the top echelon of power is also considering which candidate might present a more moderate face to ward off foreign attacks and internal revolts, the person said. Two frontrunners have emerged in the succession discussions, the five insiders said: Khamenei's 56-year-old son Mojtaba, long seen as a continuity choice, and a new contender, Hassan Khomeini, grandson of the father of the Islamic revolution. Khomeini, a close ally of the reformist faction that favours the easing of social and political restrictions, nonetheless commands respect among senior clerics and the Revolutionary Guards because of his lineage, the sources added. "I once again humbly express that this small and insignificant servant of the Iranian people stands ready to proudly be present on any front or scene you deem necessary," the 53-year-old said in a public message of support to the supreme leader on Saturday, hours before the U.S. bombed Iran's nuclear facilities. Khomeini has come into the frame as a serious candidate this month amid the conflict with Israel and America because he could represent a more conciliatory choice internationally and domestically than Mojtaba Khamenei, the five people said. By contrast, Khamenei hews closely to his father's hardline policies, according to the insiders who cautioned that nothing had been determined, candidates could change and the supreme leader would have the final say. However, with the military conflict continuing, it remains unclear whether any new leader could be chosen easily or installed securely or if he could assume the level of authority enjoyed by Khamenei, they added. Israeli strikes have also killed several of Iran's top Revolutionary Guards commanders, potentially complicating a handover of power as the elite military force has long played a central role in enforcing the supreme leader's rule. Khamenei's office and the Assembly of Experts, the clerical body from which the succession committee was drawn, were not available to comment. TRUMP: KHAMENEI IS EASY TARGET Planning for an eventual handover was already in the works because of Khamenei's age and the longstanding health concerns of a leader who has dominated all aspects of Iranian politics for decades, the sources said. The urgency of the task was underlined in September when Israel killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, a close ally of Khamenei's, and the planning accelerated significantly this month following the Israeli attacks on nuclear sites, which were followed by the American attacks at the weekend. "We know exactly where the so-called 'Supreme Leader' is hiding," U.S. President Trump warned on social media last week, calling for Tehran's unconditional surrender. "He is an easy target." Khamenei hasn't publicly expressed any preference for his successor. The sources said he had repeatedly opposed the idea of his son taking over, in succession discussions in the past, concerned about any suggestion of Iran returning to the kind of hereditary rule that ended with the ousting of the shah in 1979. The role of Supreme Leader was created after the revolution and then enshrined in the constitution giving a top cleric ultimate authority in guiding the elected president and parliament. Officially, the leader is named by the Assembly of Experts, made up of 88 senior clerics who are chosen through a national election in which a hardline watchdog body aligned with Khamenei must approve all the candidates. "Whether the Islamic Republic survives or not, it will be a very different one, because the context in which it has existed has fundamentally changed," said London-based Iranian political analyst Hossein Rassam, adding that Hassan Khomeini could fit the bill for a leader to take Iran in a new direction. "The regime has to opt for someone who'll facilitate slow transition." Hassan Khomeini's close links to the reformist faction of Iranian politics, which pursued an ultimately unsuccessful policy of opening Iran to the outside world in the 1990s, saw hardline officials bar him from running as a member of senior clerical body the Assembly of Experts in 2016. The succession planners are aware that Khomeini is likely to be more palatable to the Iranian population than a hardliner, the five insiders said. Last year he warned of a "crisis of rising popular dissatisfaction" among Iranians due to poverty and deprivation. By contrast, Mojtaba Khamenei's views echo those of his father on every major topic from cracking down on opponents to taking a hardline with foreign foes, the sources said - qualities they saw as hazardous with Iran under attack. A mid-ranking cleric who teaches theology at a religious seminary in the city Qom, the centre of Iranian religious life, Mojtaba has never held a formal position the Islamic Republic, though exercises influence behind the scenes as the gatekeeper to his father, according to Iran watchers. The U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Mojtaba in 2019, saying he represented the Supreme Leader in "an official capacity despite never being elected or appointed to a government position" aside from working his father's office. Several of the candidates long seen as possible successors to Khamenei have already died. Former presidents Hashemi Rafsanjani passed away in 2017, former judiciary chief Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi died of natural causes in 2018 and former President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash in 2023. Another senior cleric Sadegh Amoli Larijani, has been sidelined. Others, such as the Assembly of Experts member Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, are still in contention but have fallen behind Mojtaba Khamenei and Hassan Khomeini, the five sources said. Beyond the most likely candidates, it's also possible that a less prominent cleric could be chosen as a pawn of Revolutionary Guards, said Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group think-tank. "It is possible that they would put forward a candidate that no one has ever heard of and would not really hold the same levers of power that Ayatollah Khamenei has held now for more than 30 years," he said. The supreme leader's voice is powerful. After the death of the Islamic Republic's founder Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989, Khamenei was publicly hailed as his predecessor's choice. Although he had already served as president, Khamenei was only a mid-ranking cleric and was initially dismissed by influential clerics as weak and an unlikely successor to his charismatic predecessor. However, he steadily tightened his grip to become Iran's unquestioned decision-maker, relying on the Revolutionary Guards as he outmanoeuvred rivals and crushed bouts of popular unrest.
