U.S. Congress members from both sides of the aisle have introduced a bill in the House of Representatives that would grant President Donald Trump the authority to allow Israel access to B‑2 stealth bombers and bunker‑busting bombs if it becomes clear that Iran is continuing to develop nuclear weapons, APA reports citing ynetnews.com.
To date, the United States has never transferred B‑2 bombers to foreign hands. Fox News reported that, as of 2024, the U.S. military maintained 24 active B‑2 bombers.
The “Bunker‑Buster Act” was sponsored by Democrat Josh Gottheimer and Republican Mike Lawler. According to them, the act would enable Trump “to take steps that ensure Israel is prepared for all scenarios if Iran seeks to develop nuclear weapons.”
