Iran might do preemptive attack on Diego Garcia’s B-2 stealth bombers, to protect their nuclear weapons program

I fully believe that Iran has started building nuclear weapons recently, with some key Russian technical aid, and that they’re in a race to finish this before Israel and the US can stop them, Trump has openly said as much. It would confirm that the suspicious earthquakes near their testing facilities in recent months were indeed nuclear tests.

Some Iranian generals openly suggested to attack Diego Garcia, they do have some missiles and drones that can reach that far, and their navy has deployed converted drone carriers that can also function as launch platforms for short ranged drones and missiles.

It sounds like insanity, but those B-2 bombers are the only ones capable of safely delivering bunker buster bombs, and could do so at any moment now, halting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. On the other hand if Iran finishes the bombs first, the US might not dare to strike because it’s already too late and not want to escalate the situation. Iran might even use a brand new tactical nuke to hit Diego Garcia, to destroy the threat and demonstrate their ability and willingness to use their new power.

Of course this would provoke a huge response from the international community, but this is starting to look like a use it or lose it situation for Iran. They just lost Syria, Gaza, several of their leaders and if they don’t act soon the Houtis might be next. They’ve been cornered and might be desperate enough to try something that crazy.

Russia and China are openly supporting Iran, they know a conflict with the West is coming, Russia is already in a proxy war with NATO and might want to return the favor. China too is very averse to losing face, and will always prefer to let others fight its battles for it, happy to let Russia act as its intermediary to help Iran.

Sounds more like a thing an israeli submarine would do. (USS Liberty sends her greetings).

or we’ll be told they did.
