Iran has refused to comply with international demands that it stop its nuclear weapons programs.
Experts have noted that a U.S. or Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program could be difficult due to the large number of installations - some of which are buried deep underground in hardened bunkers.
Apparently the U.S. has big plans for Iran.
Northrop Grumman announced last week in a little noticed release that the company had begun integrating on the B-2's a new 30,000-pound-class "penetrator bomb" or bunker buster.
"The U.S. Air Force's B-2 Stealth bomber would be able to attack and destroy an expanded set of hardened, deeply buried military targets" using the monster bunker buster, the company said in its release.
The company is doing the work under a seven-month, $2.5 million contract awarded June 1 by the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.

Expect little from life and get more from it.
As if there was any doubt Israel is in charge.
"... U.S. plan to sell state-of-the-art weaponry to Saudi Arabia and other moderate Arab states, saying Iran was the common enemy"
That's what they said about Saddam's Iraq, another "moderate Arab state" that had Iran as a common enemy. Ha ha ha ha!
"Monster Bunker Buster Bombs"
That has a good ring to it.
"... an attack on Iran and its nuclear facilities."
By "facilities" they must mean Iran's nooclear power plant.
"Iran has refused to comply with international demands that it stop its nuclear weapons programs."
Iran cannot comply with the demands of the USA, because Iran does not have a nooclear weapons program.
"Experts have noted that a U.S. or Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program could be difficult due to the large number of installations - some of which are buried deep underground in hardened bunkers."
Yeah sure, hidden away just like Saddam's mythical weapons of mass destruction.
"Apparently the U.S. has big plans for Iran."
Yes, and they had the same big plans for Iraq and Afghanistan as well.
""The U.S. Air Force's B-2 Stealth bomber would be able to attack and destroy an expanded set of hardened, deeply buried military targets" using the monster bunker buster, the company said in its release."
Yes, and murder thousands of civilians in the process because in the estimation of the US military, everything imaginable is a legitimate military target.
"The company is doing the work under a seven-month, $2.5 million contract awarded June 1 by the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Center, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio."
And the sole benefactors of infinite war are?
