The United States learned about the congressional proposal to transfer B-2 Spirit bombers to Israel

Members of the House of Representatives of the US Congress have proposed to American President Donald Trump to transfer American B-2 Spirit bombers and GBU-57 bunker buster bombs to Israel in case Iran tries to develop nuclear weapons. This was reported on July 2 by Fox News channel.

The bill, proposed by Congressmen Josh Gottimer (Democrat from New York State) and Mike Lawler (Republican from New York State), would allow Trump to "take measures to ensure Israel's readiness for any unforeseen circumstances if Iran attempts to develop nuclear weapons," the publication says.

It is specified that in 2024, the United States operated 19 B-2 Spirit bombers, which Washington had never transferred to any of its allies.

Iran claims that it proved powerless against nuclear facilities hidden deep under the rocks.

Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth said on June 22 that the United States used seven B-2 Spirit bombers to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. He clarified that the strike included the longest mission of the B-2 Spirit bomber since 2001 and the first operational use of a correctable bunker buster bomb.
