U.S. Air Force bombers have moved to RAF bases in England. This movement has led to speculation about preparations for a large-scale operation against Iran. The aircraft can carry the world's most powerful missiles and can conduct long-range missions without being detected.
U.S. Air Force bombers have moved to RAF bases in England. These aircraft are notable for their ability to carry large amounts of explosives, leading to speculation about a possible large-scale operation against Iran.
Users tracking aircraft online noticed B-1 bombers moving from Dyess Air Force Base in Texas towards RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. Other strategic bombers, such as the B-2 and B-52, are also expected to join the base.
Each of these aircraft costs approximately $2 billion and can conduct long-range missions without being detected, carrying some of the world's most powerful missiles. Some sources suggest that this movement could be a continuation of the "Operation Epic Fury" launched by the U.S. and Israel against Iran last week.
The U.S. President announced that a "major operation" against Iran is approaching, stating, "We haven't started hitting them seriously yet. The big wave hasn't happened yet."
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced that American forces will increase attacks against Iran using bases in England, with the permission of the UK. Hegseth said, "More is coming; more fighter jets, more capacity, more defense capability, and more frequent bombings."
The UK has allowed the U.S. to use British bases for defensive operations against missile facilities in Iran following prior political discussions.
Experts are assessing the likelihood of the U.S. using a 10-ton explosive known as the "Mother of All Bombs" against Iran. This bomb can create a crater approximately 300 meters in diameter when detonated.
