The US is preparing to authorize giving Israel B-2 stealth bombers and 30,000-pound, 20-foot-long “bunker buster” bombs if Iran resumes its nuclear weapons program, under a new bill proposed by a bipartisan pair of lawmakers.
The Bunker Buster Act would allow President Trump to “take actions to ensure Israel is prepared for all contingencies if Iran seeks to develop a nuclear weapon,” according to Reps. Josh Gottheimer, (D-NJ), and Mike Lawler, (R-NY), who proposed the legislation.
“Iran, the leading state sponsor of terror, and one of America’s top enemies, can never have a nuclear weapon. That’s why I strongly supported our military actions earlier this month,” Gottheimer said in a statement.
“Iran has killed scores of Americans, including our service members, and repeatedly attacked our key democratic ally, Israel. Israel must be able to defend herself against Iran, and ensure that Iran cannot rebuild its nuclear capabilities,” he added.
