A bipartisan duo of lawmakers in the House introduced a bill that authorizes President Donald Trump to transfer B-2 stealth bombers and “bunker-buster” bombs to Israel if Iran is found to be rebuilding its nuclear supply.
Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Mike Lawler (R-NY) introduced the Bunker Buster Act to the House on Wednesday, about a week and a half after the United States struck Iranian nuclear sites using B-2 bombers and bunker busters. Such a transfer would be unprecedented, as the U.S. has never transferred any of its 19 B-2 bombers to allies thus far.
