Speaking to a crowd of supporters in Iowa on Thursday night, President Donald Trump announced that the military flight team that launched the strikes on Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities will be honored at the White House on Independence Day.<\/p>\n

Trump said that he took issue with early media reports suggesting that the strikes on Iran only partially damaged the targets because he considered it an insult to the \u201cgreat\u201d American military members who executed the mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember when CNN said it wasn\u2019t obliterated? It was maybe damaged or damaged badly, but obliterated is too strong a word. No, it was obliterated. That\u2019s now been proven,\u201d said Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were trying to demean me by saying that, but they were really demeaning those great pilots and people and mechanics that got those planes over there and were able to shoot from high up in the air, going very, very fast, with potentially a lot of things being shot at them, and hit every single one,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re trying to demean me, but to me, they were demeaning them. And they got out of the plane, and they said, \u2018What? We hit every single target.\u2019 They know better than anybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThese people did one of the greatest military hits and maneuvers in the history of our country, and I want them to be appreciated for it,\u201d the president went on. \u201cSo, they\u2019re coming. They\u2019re coming to the White House tomorrow night.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re going to be in Washington tomorrow at the White House, and we\u2019re going to be celebrating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump said the White House will host not only the pilots, but the entire flight crew, including \u201cthe people that flew the other planes\u201d and \u201cthe mechanics that had these planes going for 37 hours without a stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChina, Russia, they were all watching. Everybody was watching,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have the greatest equipment anywhere in the world. We have the greatest people anywhere in the world, and we have the strongest military anywhere in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his address on Thursday, Trump also claimed that Iran called ahead of their retaliatory strike on the U.S. military base in Qatar to clear the attack with the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey called me to tell me they have to take a shot at us. This was Iran. Very respectful. That means they respect us because we dropped 14 bombs. They said we\u2019d like to take 14 shots at you. I said, \u2018Go ahead, I understand,\u2019\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/ins><\/div>\n

\u201cThey said where they would do it. I said, \u2018Good.\u2019 We emptied out the fort. It was a beautiful military base in Qatar who treated us really fantastically well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trump claimed that Iran went so far as to ask what time of day would be acceptable for their retaliatory strike.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, \u2018Sir, is 1:00 okay?\u2019 I said it was fine, [they said], \u2018We could make it later.\u2019 And we had nobody but four gunners,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, all of a sudden, they said, \u2018We\u2019re ready.\u2019 And they were a little nervous about doing it. I want to tell, you can you imagine, they were nice enough \u2013 this is Iran \u2013 to call me and tell me that they would like to shoot me at 14 times, so they want to shoot us. And I said, go ahead. And they shot 14 high grade, very fast missiles every single one of them was shot down routinely by these four unbelievable gunmen. And they did their job. And that was the end of that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
