特朗普(Trump)政府官员周日表示，针对伊朗核基础设施的空袭和导弹袭击破坏性极大，可能已经让伊朗的核计划耽误数年。但如果伊朗在美军发动袭击前设法转移了部分高浓缩铀库存和其他设备，以色列和美国可能会发现，他们数十年来针对德黑兰核活动的斗争也许要无限期持续下去。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

5 days ago | jp.wsj.com | Shelby Holliday |Lara Seligman

21日午前、米ミズーリ州の空軍基地から飛び立ち、太平洋上を西に向かう複数の米ステルス戦略爆撃機「B2」を航空機追跡システムが捉えた。それは陽動作戦だった。　国防当局者によると、その一方で別のB2の一群がひそかに東に向かい、イランの最も重要な核関連施設を攻撃した。対象は防御の堅固な施設で、成功する可能性が最も高いのは米国の巨大な地下貫通型爆弾「バンカーバスター」だと考えられていた。ドナルド・トランプ米大統領は、米国の潜水艦も攻撃に参加して巡航ミサイルを発射し、他の重要な核施設を攻撃したと述べた。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

米国防総省は、ミズーリ州の空軍基地からステルス性能を持つB2爆撃機を太平洋上へと移動させている。トランプ政権がイランへの攻撃に備えて配備を進めている兆候だ。　航空機追跡サービスは、B2爆撃機と空中給油機が米西海岸を通過して移動しているのを確認した。米領グアムのアンダーセン空軍基地に向かっている可能性がある。もう一つの拠点候補はディエゴガルシアで、国防総省は今春、イエメンのフーシ派に対する作戦でB2爆撃機を同基地に配備していた。国防当局者が移動を確認した。Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

1 week ago | wsj.com | Shelby Holliday |Lara Seligman

The Pentagon is moving stealthy B-2 bombers over the Pacific from their Air Force base in Missouri, a sign the Trump administration is getting them in place if needed for a strike on Iran. Flight-tracking services picked up the bombers and refueling tankers heading out past the West Coast, possibly on their way to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, which is a U.S. territory. A defense official confirmed the moves. Officials said there had been no order given to ready a B-2 strike.
