Bipartisan legislation would allow President Trump to equip the Jewish state with advanced weaponry if Iran resumes nuclear development.
A 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.
