Trump announces successful US strike on 3 Iranian nuclear sites

WE HAVE THIS TRUTH SOCIAL POST FROM PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TO BE HAVE JENNIFER GRIFFIN AT THE PENTAGON? WE CAN TALK THROUGH WHAT WE ARE DURING. JENNIFER GRIFFIN IS LIVE AT THE PENTAGON, LET’S BRING JENNIFER IN. WE ARE JUST GETTING WORKED WITH THE PRESIDENT’S ANNOUNCEMENT WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE. >> WE KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MORNING WHEN WE WOKE AND HEARD SIX B-2 BOMBERS SEEN LEAVING WHITE MEN AIR FORCE BASE LAST NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT SO THOSE PLANES WE WERE TOLD FOR MOM. ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN 18 THE HOUR FLIGHT INTO IRAN SO LIKELY A DIFFERENT SET OF B-2 BOMBERS USED ON TRUTH SOCIAL. WHAT’S KNOWN AS THE HEART OR THE DOWN JEWEL OF IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM UNDER THAT MOUNTAIN JUST OUTSIDE COMB TWO HOURS SOUTH IRAN. THAT COMPLEX WE UNDERSTAND HAS BEEN BOMBED BY THE U.S. B-2 BOMBERS TONIGHT. NATANZ HAD ANOTHER ABOUT IT WAS BUILT IN 2006. NATANZ HAD BEEN THE MAIN ENRICHMENT SITE AND WAS BUILT TARGETING IT IN THE LAST ABLE TO PENETRATE UNDERGROUND BOMBER. IT’S INTERESTING ATTACK YEARS AGO BUT IT WAS BACKUP AND RUNNING WHAT IS SURPRISING TONIGHT IS THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED IT WAS NOT ONE SITE BUT THREE SITES INSIDE IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM STRUCK BY AN PUT IT UP SO WE CAN SEE IT. THE FACT THAT THIS FIRST OF ALL, THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES FROM TRUTH SOCIAL THIS IS THE PRESIDENT WHO PUT OUT A LOT OF ANNOUNCEMENTS, BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS THROUGH TRUTH TRUTH SOCIAL AND THIS IS THE BIGGEST OF THEM. THE COMPLETED SUCCESSFUL ATTACK ON THREE NUCLEAR SITES GETTING VERY SPECIFIC THERE AND THE PAYLOAD, A FULL PAYLOAD OF BOMBS DROPPED ON THE PRIMARY SITE FORDOW. WE’VE BEEN SAYING FOR MANY DAYS THEY MAY HAVE MADE MANY PASSES AT FORDOW CONSIDERING THE EXPERTS WERE SAYING, JUST ONE WOULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN TO THE HEART OF THAT FACILITY. >> WE BEEN REPORTING IN RECENT DAYS FORDOW IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT HAS TO ENTRANCE POINTS AND WE WERE TOLD BY IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST TWO BOMBS FROM THE BEACH CHOOSE THE MOPS THE MASSIVE ORDNANCE OF PENETRATORS ARE 30,000 POUND BOMBS AT EACH CAN CARRY TWO OF THEM. THE WAY IT WORKS 30,000 POUND BUNKER BUSTERS DROPPED. IT GOES INTO A HOLE THAT’S ABOUT A RADIUS OF ABOUT 25FT, I’M TOLD. AND THEN THE SECOND BOMB IS DROPPED IN THE SAME HOLE. AND SO AT FIRST, THAT 30,000 POUND BUNKER BUSTER WILL GO DOWN ABOUT 200FT, EXPLODE, AND THEN MAKE WAY FOR THE SECOND BOMB, WHICH FALLS INTO THAT EXACT 25 FOOT RADIUS HOLE. AND OF COURSE, PEOPLE ARE CALLING RIGHT NOW. SO JUST A MOMENT. AND SO WHAT’S INTERESTING ABOUT IT, BRETT, IS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO B-2S, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS LIKELY A PACKAGE OF SIX B-2S THAT WOULD BE FLYING. THEY EACH HAD TWO MOP MASSIVE ORDNANCE PENETRATORS ON BOARD AT THE TIME, AND THEY WOULD HAVE HIT BOTH THOSE ENTRANCES AT FORDO. THE PRESIDENT SAYING THAT THAT FORDOW THAT THE COMPLETE PACKAGE WAS STRUCK. THAT IS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THAT MEANS, AS YOU SAID, THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE MULTIPLE PASSES AND MULTIPLE BOMBS DROPPED THERE. >> YEAH. SO AS WE GET READY, REMEMBER THEY ARE LET’S SEE, SEVEN HOURS AHEAD. AND THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WINDOW TO PULL THIS OFF. THE PRESIDENT AGAIN SAYING THAT IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL IN THREE DIFFERENT SITES. WE SHOULD POINT OUT THAT THE ISRAELIS HAVE WORKED REALLY, AS WE’VE BEEN REPORTING OVER THE LAST WEEK, PLUS VERY HARD TO TAKE OUT THE AIR DEFENSES OF IRAN ALREADY IN A FIRST WAVE OF RUNS BACK IN OCTOBER. THE ISRAELI MILITARY AND AIR FORCE TOOK OUT A LOT OF THOSE SURFACE TO AIR MISSILES. NOW, WITH THIS LATEST BOMBING RUN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, JENNIFER, THEY HAVE ESSENTIALLY ELIMINATED IT. AND TO TALK TO ISRAELI OFFICIALS, THEY SAID THEY HAVE CONTROL OF THE SKIES, REALLY A FULL PATH TO TEHRAN. AND THEY’VE BEEN TAKING OUT SITES AND TARGETS AT THE AT THEIR WILL, THEY SUGGESTED. AND THIS LED THE WAY FOR THIS BOMBING RUN TONIGHT. >> WELL, THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE HAS JUST BEEN UNBELIEVABLE IN TERMS OF THEIR SUCCESS SINCE JUNE 12TH. THEY HAVE BEEN CARRYING OUT NONSTOP RUNS AND STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN TARGETS, INCLUDING THE FIRST NIGHT, 14 IRANIAN NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS WHO WERE TAKEN OFF THE BATTLEFIELD, AS WELL AS ABOUT 50 TOP GENERALS IN THE IRANIAN MILITARY, INCLUDING THE HEAD OF THEIR AIR FORCE, THEIR BALLISTIC MISSILES, THEIR DRONE CAPABILITIES, THEIR IRGC, THE REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS. SO THEY HAVE REALLY HAD INCREDIBLE SUCCESS IN TERMS OF ALL OF THE SPOTS AND ALL OF THE ABOVE GROUND SPOTS THAT AN F-16 OR AN F-35 COULD, COULD TAKE OUT. THEY SAID A FEW DAYS AGO THAT THEY HAD AIR SUPERIORITY. THAT THEN OPENS THE WAY FOR THE. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT THEY’VE TAKEN OUT MOST OF THE AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS ON THE GROUND, SO THAT THEN THEIR PLANES COULD REALLY FLY WITH IMPUNITY. AND THAT ALSO OPENED THE WAY FOR THOSE VERY, VERY, YOU KNOW, THE STEALTH BOMBERS, THE B-2 BOMBERS, WHICH ALSO ARE ESCORTED, WE’RE TOLD, BY F-22S AND F-16S AND ALSO THE E 18 GROWLERS, THEY PLAY A VERY SIGNIFICANT ROLE. THAT’S AN ELECTRONIC WARFARE JAMMER THAT FLIES WITH THE B-2. AND REMEMBER THAT SECOND AIRCRAFT CARRIER, THE USS NIMITZ, HAD JUST GOTTEN INTO THE REGION EARLIER TODAY. YOU HAD THE USS VINSON. THOSE E 18 GROWLERS ARE ON BOARD THOSE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL FOR THE B-2 TO FLY OVER IRAN. EVEN THOUGH THE ISRAELIS HAD AIR SUPERIORITY OVER THE COUNTRY. >> JENNIFER, STANDBY, IF YOU WOULD DO I HAVE GREG PALKOT IN TEL AVIV CONTROL ROOM. IS HE UP AND RUNNING? OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE’RE GOING TO GET HIM UP AND RUNNING. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, JEN, WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF ISRAELI MISSILES AND DRONES COMING IN REALLY NIGHT AFTER NIGHT INTO ISRAEL. THIS NIGHT HAS NOT SEEN THAT MUCH OF THAT. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW WARNINGS, BUT NOT NOT THE SAME VOLLEY THAT WE’VE HEARD IN RECENT DAYS. IN ADDITION TO TAKING OUT THE SURFACE TO AIR MISSILES AND CLEARING THE WAY FOR THE ABILITY TO TAKE OUT TARGETS INSIDE IRAN, THEY’VE ALSO REALLY MANAGED TO TAKE OUT A LOT OF MISSILE SITES AND PLACES THAT HAVE BEEN THREATS FOR MISSILES FIRED FROM IRAN. THERE IS A SENSE EVEN, THAT THEY WERE TAKING OUT THE TRUCKS THAT MOVED THE MISSILES AS PRECISE AS THE ISRAELI MILITARY TARGETING HAS BEEN. YOU’VE BEEN REPORTING ON THAT OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. >> IT’S REALLY EXTRAORDINARY BECAUSE WHEN THIS STARTED, YES, WHEN THIS STARTED, THE ISRAELIS ESTIMATED THAT THE IRANIANS HAD ABOUT 100 MOBILE BALLISTIC MISSILE LAUNCHERS. THEY HAVE TAKEN OUT, THEY THINK ABOUT 55% OF ANY OF THE MISSILE LAUNCHERS THAT THE IRANIANS HAVE ACCESS TO. NOW, THE IRANIANS HAVE BLOWN THROUGH QUITE A FEW, QUITE A BIT OF THEIR THEIR MISSILE STOCKPILE. THEY HAD ABOUT, I THINK, ABOUT 3000 BALLISTIC MISSILES WHEN THIS STARTED, MAYBE BETWEEN 1000 TO 2000 THAT COULD REACH ISRAEL. AND I THINK THAT THEY’VE FIRED ABOUT 500. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE IDF AND THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE HAVE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE OUT, AS YOU MENTIONED, ALMOST HALF OF THE MISSILE LAUNCHERS. SO EACH NIGHT WE’VE SEEN FEWER AND FEWER BALLISTIC MISSILES BEING FIRED AT ISRAEL. ALL OF THE DRONES THAT HAVE BEEN FIRED AT ISRAEL HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT ISRAELI PILOTS, ALONG WITH AMERICAN FIGHTER PILOTS, HAVE BEEN TAKING DOWN THOSE DRONES EACH NIGHT. SO AMERICAN PILOTS HAVE BEEN HELPING AS WELL AS ALONG WITH THOSE U.S. NAVY DESTROYERS. THERE ARE FIVE U.S. NAVY DESTROYERSS OFF THE COAST OF ISRAEL WHO HAVE BEEN USING DEFENSE SYSTEMS TO SHOOT DOWN BALLISTIC MISSILES OVER ISRAEL THAT U.S. HAS BEEN VERY INVOLVED ALONG WITH U.S. SOLDIERS ON THE GROUND THIS ABOUT 300 U.S. SOLDIERS THAT ARE WORKING WHO ARE MANNING THE FAD AND PATRIOTS MISSILES WE

  4. Trump’s best quality his anti war stance. Well… here we are. What a disaster. Our politicians suck.

  8. Thank you President Trump, he is too precious for words. May God bless him and his family abundantly and all who supoorted him. Thank you to the brilliant anointed army of US that did this. God will bless you all for delivering the people of Iran who are desperate for this regime to stop their vicious killing.

  10. Thank you baba Trump. U are a God sent leader. Thank you bibi nathanyanhu of Israel. It is time for the good people of iran to build a civilized peaceful country.

  12. US never wanted peace, Peace was never an option. Iraq – Palestine – Iran which country tomorrow? Middle east never really left America

  22. This was a very important action but the job is not done yet. Iran's regime should be replaced by a persian republic, open to all its people, welcomed to the western economic and security architecture. If mr President can pull that off, we will have 90 million well educated, young people with us, a booming economy that will change the middle east from a crisis area to a prosperity zone.

    Another important fact is that saving Iran from the chinese influence will deny CCP access to the seas. Keep in mind that the only sea access China has is 1) through it's own coast line which is surrounded by the Phillipines, Malaisia, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and 2) through the port of Gwadar in Pakistan which is a corridor that can easily be dismantled.

    Additionally, if the President respects Russia's geopolitical sensitivities and lets them finish the job in eastern Ukraine (to Dnieper river), he can form a new partnership that will secure US interests in the Arctic, relieve Russia from the burden of this war and let them counter the chinese influence in Central Asia. Such a partnership could be used to throw away the chinese from Africa.

    Let us hope the strategists in the US realize the importance of the moves above. The US cannot take on china on its own without destroying its economy. Partners are needed so that the US can lead humanity to Peace and Prosperity, supress regimes like China, Pakistan, Turkey and create new opportunities of economic development across the globe.

  26. war the president has spoken, war in Ukraine, war in Gaza, war in Iran, war against its own population, war in Yemen

  27. Iranian Atomic Energy Organization: Nuclear activities will continue +++
    According to its Atomic Energy Organization, Iran intends to continue its nuclear activities despite the US attacks on key facilities. It will not allow the development of the Iranian nuclear program to be halted "despite the evil machinations of its enemies," according to a statement published by state media. The organization described the US attacks on the Iranian uranium enrichment facilities in Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow "at dawn" as "barbaric." That was the response: it will continue to produce nuclear weapons. The Republicans never learn anything. War leads to nothing.
