866 Iran’s Air Defence SCRAMBLES as B-2 Bombers DEPLOY

24 Feb 2026The US has deployed at least six B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, capable of carrying 30,000lb bunker-busting bombs, to Diego Garcia. This strategic location, out of range of Iranian missiles, positions the US for a potential strike on Iran’s underground nuclear facilities. The deployment echoes Operation Midnight Hammer in 2025, raising concerns of a similar strike, potentially named “Midnight Hammer 2.”Six B2 Spirit stealth bombers, capable of carrying GBU-57 bunker-busting bombs, are deployed to Diego Garcia, a British territory controlled by the US. This unprecedented deployment, supported by aerial tankers, signals a potential offensive strike against Iran, despite UK objections based on international law. The deployment, coupled with the presence of multiple US carrier strike groups, represents the largest concentration of American military power in the region since the Iraq War.
