US Air Force Moves To Quickly Restock 30,000-Pound Bunker-Busters
With tensions between Washington and Tehran soaring, the US Air Force has moved to restock its GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker-buster bombs, which is the same weapons used in June during Operation Midnight Hammer, when several - some reports say over a dozen - were dropped on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
Along with the ongoing US military build-up in the US Central Command (CENTCOM) region of responsibility, this is another big sign that Trump-ordered military action could be imminent, despite that the Iranians have not attacked the United States or its bases abroad. On that, the below is where things stand in terms of deployments...

2nd US Aircraft Carrier Rerouted From Caribbean To Mideast As Iran In Crosshairs
