A Royal Air Force base is preparing for the arrival ofUSbombers armed to unleash devastation onIran. Plane spotters have noticed a fleet of B-1 aircraft, capable of enforcing 34 tonnes of explosives, being transferred from Texas toRAFFairford in Gloucestershire.

The bombers, which cost up to $2 billion each, are coming from the Dyess Air Force Base and will join more stealth bombers at RAF Fairford. It comes as sources believeDonald Trump's mega-attack on Iran, dubbed the "big one", is imminent. Some say it could come as soon as Saturday (March 7) - a week after the US and Irsael first struck Iran.

As reported by theDaily Mail, Trump recently warned Iran of a "big one", adding that "we haven't even started hitting them hard yet". Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth, US defence secretary, said: "When we say more to come, it's more fighter squadrons, it's more capabilities, it's more defensive capabilities, and it's more bomber pulses more frequently."

He confirmed overnight that the US will use British RAF bases to up its strikes on Iran. Meanwhile, deputy prime minister David Lammy also warned that RAF jets could be used to strike Iranian missile sites.

Experts believe the US could drop a 10-tonne explosive on Iran. The weapon, called the "Mother of All Bombs", would create a 1,000ft crater when it explodes.

The B-1 bombers carry some of the world's most devastating missiles and can strike without detection. The US Air Force says: "The B-1 is a highly versatile, multi-mission weapon system. The B-1B's synthetic aperture radar is capable of tracking, targeting and engaging moving vehicles as well as self-targeting and terrain-following modes."

Sascha Bruchmann, a research fellow for defence at the office of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in Bahrain, told the Daily Telegraph: "The big one is a sustained bombing campaign via the strategic bomber fleet, so the B-1s, the B-2s and the B-52s.

"Last night, Centcom [US Central Command] said there was one B-1 bomber, and the night before there were four B-2s, who dropped heavier payloads, so 1,000 to 2,000lb bombs with some bunker-busting capabilities against those missile cities.
