US president Donald Trump on Saturday night said he destroyed Iran’s stockpiles of enriched uranium by ordering a long-range bombing raid, praising American pilots for carrying out the operation.
B-2 stealth bombers flew a 37-hour mission supported by 52 refueling tankers and hit every target, Trump said at a dinner hosted by the conservative American Cornerstone Institute.
“I also obliterated Iran’s nuclear hopes by totally annihilating their enriched uranium,” he added, saying that the airmen told him they had practiced the strike for 22 years but he was the only president who allowed them to execute it.
