During a tense phone call with Israeli officials, US Vice President J.D. Vance emphasized that the United States should not become directly involved in the conflict with Iran. This was reported by Reuters, citing sources from the White House.
Vance’s statement follows discussions where Israeli officials raised the possibility of a potential strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility before the Trump administration’s two-week deadline expires. This specific topic is believed to have caused friction during the conversation with US representatives.
B-2 Bomber Deployment Raises Questions
Simultaneously, other reports confirm that the U.S. has deployed 6 to 8 B-2 strategic bombers to the military base in Guam. While the official purpose of this deployment has not been made public, the flight itineraries and mid-air refueling over the Hawaiian islands raise suspicions of a potential preparation for military action, possibly related to Iran.
Israel reportedly lacks the necessary capabilities to strike the deeply buried target at Fordow, which is located approximately 90 meters under rock. This limitation increases the likelihood that direct US assistance would be sought for such an operation, putting Vice President Vance’s stance into sharp focus.
