American B-2 stealth bombers reportedly take off from US base towards western Pacific
2025-06-21
[Jpost] The US military is ready to carry out any decision that President Donald Trump may make on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday.

American B-2 stealth bombers took off from the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri towards a strategic base in Guam in the western Pacific, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported on Saturday.

The bombers were reportedly accompanied by four Boeing KC-46 Pegasus refueling aircraft. Two of them have already performed refueling for the B2 aircraft over the Pacific Ocean, according to reports. The other two are about 75 kilometers behind them.

Two additional refueling aircraft took off from north of San Francisco and are heading north, the report added. Their next refueling point is said to be in Hawaii later.
