B-2 bombers involved in US strike on Iran nuclear facilities return to Missouri Air Force base
June 22, 2025
The B-2 stealth bombers that dropped massive bunker-buster bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities have began returning to their U.S. base in Missouri. An Associated Press journalist watched on a clear afternoon as seven of the B-2 Spirit bombers came in for landing at Whiteman Air Force Base. The day before, the B-2s had been part of a wide-ranging plan involving deception and decoys to deliver what American military leaders believe is a knockout blow to a nuclear program that Israel views as an existential threat and has been pummeling for more than a week.
