The U.S. military is arming aircraft recently sent to the Middle East<\/a> with “bunker busting” bombs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A squadron of A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft \u2014 otherwise known as “Warthogs” \u2014 have been saddled with the structure-penetrating payload in response to increasing aggression from the Islamic Republic of Iran, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n

The warthogs are each capable of carrying approximately 16 bunker busters, otherwise known as GBU-39\/B bombs.<\/p>\n

IRAN SEIZES SHIP IN GULF OF OMAN, US NAVY SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

On Thursday, Iranian forces intercepted and seized a boat sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands as it was transporting crude oil from Kuwait to Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n

The seizure of the foreign vessel was only the latest escalation from the Middle Eastern republic \u2014 Iran is now on the brink of developing nuclear weapons<\/a> after decades of international pressure to end its program.<\/p>\n

Iran has also been behind<\/a> repeated rocket attacks on U.S. forces in Syria.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Biden administration sanctioned Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps<\/u><\/a> intelligence organization Thursday, accusing it of wrongfully detaining Americans.<\/p>\n

BIDEN SANCTIONS RUSSIA, IRAN FOR WRONGFUL DETENTION AND HOSTAGE-TAKING: ‘RELEASE THEM IMMEDIATELY’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Iran’s Guard Corps was sanctioned at the same time as Russia’s Federal Security Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Today, and every day, our message to Russia, Iran and the world<\/u><\/a> is holding hostage or wrongfully detaining Americans is unacceptable. Release them immediately,” Biden said in a statement Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Iran renewed threats<\/u><\/a> to target former President Donald Trump and top members of his former Cabinet, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, for the 2020 killing of its top military commander, Qasem Soleimani.<\/p>\n

“God willing, we are looking to kill Trump [and] Pompeo \u2026 and military commanders who issued the order should be killed,” Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aerospace force, told Iranian state television.<\/p>\n

The threats themselves were nothing new, though they came as Tehran announced a new long-range cruise missile capable of flying more than 1,000 miles, which could give it additional capabilities to strike U.S. forces in the Middle East<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
