Bipartisan legislation would allow President Trump to equip the Jewish state with advanced weaponry if Iran resumes nuclear development.By David Brummer, World Israel NewsA new bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives seeks to authorize the transfer of B-2 stealth bombers and GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs to Israel, should Iran resume efforts to rebuild its nuclear weapons program, according to Fox News.The Bunker Buster Act, introduced by Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), would empower U.S. President Donald Trump to provide Israel with cutting-edge military tools if Iran is determined to still pursue nuclear capabilities in the wake of recent U.S. airstrikes.In late June, U.S. forces carried out a coordinated bombing campaign targeting Iran’s top three nuclear sites, following days of pounding from Israeli Air Force jets.Fourteen 30,000-pound bunker buster bombs were dropped from B-2 bombers in what Trump hailed as a strike that “totally obliterated” the core of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.While Israel also struck Iranian positions and eliminated high-ranking military officials, it lacks the GBU-57s—precision-guided bombs capable of penetrating up to 200 feet underground before detonation.Nor has the U.S. ever transferred custody of its B-2 stealth bombers, of which only 19 remain in active service.The proposed legislation would mark an unprecedented shift in military cooperation between the two allies, aiming to ensure Israel has the means to act independently if Iran resumes its nuclear ambitions.“Iran, the leading state sponsor of terrorism and one of America’s top enemies, can never have a nuclear weapon,” Rep. Gottheimer said in a statement.“That’s why I strongly supported our military actions… Israel must be able to defend herself against Iran and ensure it cannot rebuild its nuclear capabilities.”Rep. Lawler emphasized that the bill is designed to give Israel “the tools and training they need to deter Tehran and make the world a safer place.”Although the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that Iran’s centrifuges at the underground Fordow site are no longer operational, questions linger about Iran’s remaining stockpile of enriched uranium.IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi warned that Tehran could resume enrichment within months, saying, “The capacities they have are there. One cannot claim that everything has disappeared.”Grossi added that while the damage inflicted by the strikes was serious, it wasn’t absolute. “If they so wish, they will be able to start doing this again,” he noted.Meanwhile, the threat from Iranian proxies also remains high.Following a Houthi missile launch at Israel on Tuesday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee suggested deploying B-2s to Yemen to deter future attacks.We thought we were done with missiles coming to Israel, but Houthis just lit one up over us in Israel. Fortunately, Israel’s incredible interception system means we go to the shelter & wait until all clear. Maybe those B2 bombers need to visit Yemen!— Ambassador Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) July 1, 2025“We thought we were done with missiles coming to Israel, but Houthis just lit one up over us,” Huckabee wrote on social media. “Maybe those B-2 bombers need to visit Yemen!”The bill is likely to reignite debate over the extent of U.S. support for Israel’s defense strategy, especially amid continued volatility in the region and uncertainty over Iran’s next move.The post US bill proposes giving Israel B-2 bombers, bunker-busting bombs appeared first on World Israel News.
