Trump’s Proposal: Arming Israel with B-2s and Bunker Busters Faces Skepticism
Reps. Josh Gottheimer and Mike Lawler have proposed the “Bunker Buster Act,” which would authorize former President Donald Trump to transfer B-2 stealth bombers and 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs to Israel if Iran restarts its nuclear weapons program. This proposal follows U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, which have been partially successful but may not have eliminated Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The bill aims to provide Israel with the necessary tools to deter Iran, as experts suggest Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months. The proposal highlights concerns about Iran’s potential to rebuild its nuclear program.
