Pilots that bombed Iran invited to White House
...
The Trump administration announced Monday that the U.S. Air Force pilots who led the recent bombing mission on Iranian nuclear facilities will join President Donald Trump to celebrate the Fourth of July at the White House, marking a high-profile recognition of their role in a critical national security operation.
Earlier this month, U.S. forces conducted precision strikes that destroyed three Iranian nuclear facilities, a move the administration says was essential to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. The operation, executed with advanced stealth bombers, was hailed by the White House as a decisive blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Iran retaliated last week by attacking a U.S. base in Qatar, but no further escalations have occurred since, signaling a pause in hostilities.
President Trump first hinted at the pilots’ White House visit during a Sunday interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, revealing that the seven bombers involved in the mission would be his guests. He did not specify at the time that the event would coincide with the nation’s Independence Day celebrations.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the details, stating that the pilots, along with additional personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, where the bombers are stationed, will attend the Fourth of July event. The announcement was first reported by CBS News.
