Recently, the United States has deployed six B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean known for US’ geostrategic military base. Satellite images reviewed by CNN confirm the presence of six of the advanced aircraft—nearly a third of the US’s entire B-2 fleet, which consists of 20 bombers. Experts say this is the reply to the Iranian missile city video that the state media shared just after Trump’s warnings.

This deployment, the largest of its kind in the region, is widely interpreted as a calculated message to Iran and its regional proxies, especially the Houthi rebels in Yemen, amid growing tensions in West Asia. The B-2 bombers, often referred to as the “ghosts of the sky” due to their stealth capabilities, are among the most advanced warplanes in the world. It costs over $2 billion apiece. The bomber has already been used in the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. This was also seen in Libya in 2011. Capable of carrying the Massive Ordnance Penetrator—a 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb—these aircraft are specifically designed to target fortified sites such as Iran’s deeply buried nuclear facilities.

While Washington has not officially named a target, military experts believe the deployment is aimed primarily at Iran and the Iran-backed Houthis. The Houthis have recently intensified attacks on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea, citing solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. The strategic presence of B-2s within striking distance of both Yemen and Iran is being seen as a powerful deterrent.

“This is a warning,” said retired US Air Force Colonel Cedric Leighton in an interview with CNN. “It’s aimed at Iran to pull back support from the Houthis and perhaps to push them back to the negotiating table over their nuclear programme.”

Adding to the build-up, the US Navy has deployed the aircraft carriers USS Carl Vinson and USS Harry S. Truman to the Middle East. Meanwhile, the USS Nimitz has been directed to the South China Sea, signalling a simultaneous US message to China and Russia, both close allies of Tehran.

This move is not an isolated reaction but appears to be part of a larger strategic plan. President Donald Trump, speaking to Fox News, said, “There are two ways Iran can be handled: militarily, or you make a deal. I would prefer to make a deal, because I’m not looking to hurt Iran.” But the President also warned on his platform Truth Social, “Stop shooting at US ships, and we will stop shooting at you. Otherwise, we have only just begun, and the real pain is yet to come—for both the Houthis and their sponsors in Iran.”

US action on Iran

Over recent weeks, the US has launched a series of airstrikes in Yemen targeting Houthi positions, including one in March that reportedly killed over 50 militants. Trump has vowed to continue the operations until Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping routes come to a halt.

According to defence analysts, the deployment of six B-2 bombers suggests a wider strategic calculus beyond just the Houthis. “Two or three bombers would be enough for Yemen,” military aviation analyst Peter Layton told CNN. “Six is a serious number. This is also about Iran.”

With tensions escalating, the Trump administration has also given Iran a two-month deadline to agree to a new nuclear deal. Iran, however, has so far refused direct talks, even as its uranium enrichment reportedly nears weapons-grade levels. Daryl Press, a defence expert, emphasized the potential threat: “The B-2s can carry bunker-busters capable of striking Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear sites.”

Notably, the Trump administration has been looking to bring an end to Russia Ukraine war, however their actions in West Asia have been aggressive and the only region where Trump has mobilized the US military in his second term.

For now, the deployment of the B-2s to Diego Garcia marks a critical inflexion point in US strategy in West Asia. Whether it leads to de-escalation or further confrontation remains to be seen—but the message is loud and clear: the US is prepared to act, and its most powerful weapons are already in position.
