The United States (US) plans to use Britain’s (UK) Royal Air Force bases to launch an attack on Iran that US President Donald Trump described as a “big one”.
According to Daily Mail, The USAF’s stealth fleet of bombers, including B1s, B-2s and B-52s, are on their way to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands.
These bombers can carry some of the deadliest payloads without detection. Their deployment to RAF bases came after British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer allowed the US to use British bases for collective defence.
Sources told the outlet that the US and Israel could carry out the “major” operation against Iran on Saturday, a week after launching military strikes against the country that resulted in the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Threatening Iran with the “big one,” the US president said: “We haven’t even started to hit them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened.”
Experts told the outlet that the US could potentially use the “mother of all bombs” against Iran to wipe out the underground tunnels, bunkers and missile launch sites. For the uninitiated, the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) is considered the deadliest non-nuclear weapon developed by the United States
It is a 21,000 pound explosive which creates a 1,000 ft hole in the ground and takes out underground targets. However, there has been no official confirmation from the US regarding possible use of the MOAB against Iran.
