U.S. military leaders have reportedly told their troops to prepare for potential retaliatory attacks in the wake of America’s attack on Iranian nuclear sites.
According to Mail Online, military leaders told troops that the attack ‘will likely result in counterstrikes on U.S. bases and facilities’ in the Middle East.
In addition, it will ‘likely activate Iran and other foreign terrorist organisations’ cells abroad, including in the U.S., to conduct strikes against U.S. persons and facilities.’
The U.S. military joined forces with Israel to launch military strikes against Iran on Saturday, June 21, using B-2 ‘bunker bomber’ planes.
Just before 8:00 p.m. ET Saturday night, Trump posted on his social media site, Truth Social, confirming the attacks.
‘We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. ‘
‘All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.’
A senior White House official told the Daily Mail that Trump gave Israel a heads-up ahead of the bombing campaign and has since spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
