US President Donald Trump on Monday praised the position of B-2 stealth bomber pilots in what he described as a key army operation that contributed to securing a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
“We couldn’t have made today’s ‘deal’ without the talent and courage of our great B-2 pilots, and all of those associated with that operation,” Trump mentioned on Truth Social.
“In a certain and very ironic way, that perfect ‘hit,’ late in the evening, brought everyone together, and the deal was made!!!” he mentioned, referring to US strikes on Iranian nuclear websites over the weekend.
Israel, beginning June 13, carried out assaults on Iran’s nuclear and army amenities, alleging Tehran was getting near acquiring a nuclear weapon.
Iran, which denies ever having a nuclear weapons program, retaliated with missile assaults.
The US then bombed three key Iranian nuclear amenities at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan early Sunday. Trump mentioned the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” the websites.
Iran’s retaliatory strike on the US army’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar got here on Monday night however there was no severe harm or casualties, and the following deal ended “The 12 DAY WAR.”
The ceasefire was initially introduced by Trump, who mentioned it might contain a phased halt to operations, with Iran starting the ceasefire first and Israel following 12 hours later. A full finish to hostilities would then be declared on the twenty fourth hour.
Qatar was reported by Israeli media to have mediated the settlement.
The US president later mentioned the ceasefire had taken impact, warning each nations to not violate it: “THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!”
