The article reports on a series of airstrikes carried out by the U.S. using B-2 bombers targeting Iran's nuclear facilities. Leading up to these strikes, indications were present, such as the movement of bombers and reports from Israeli sources suggesting Trump had committed to joining the conflict. Despite the significant military action, the U.S. administration maintained a low profile regarding the decision, with Trump appearing to deliberate publicly on social media while already engaged in military activity, raising questions about communication and transparency amidst the conflict.
Earlier Saturday, a series of B-2 bombers, which is the only aircraft in the U.S. arsenal that can carry the massive MOP bunker-busting bomb, were tracked leaving the U.S. and heading for the Pacific Ocean.
Israeli sources believed that Trump had decided to join the war, and would launch airstrikes sometime in the next two days.
Trump kept the move so quiet that at least one cable news broadcast said that the president was still considering his options as he posted on social media about the strikes.
Trump returned to the White House from New Jersey just after 6 p.m. today, and went to the West Wing for what was described as a national security briefing.
