Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Thursday recounted the moment when US President Donald Trump authorized and announced US strikes on Iranian nuclear-linked sites and said that this is the time when the world listens "FAFO."
Speaking at an event, Hegseth said, "That moment we realized that our bombers were out of Iran and the bombs had hit the target and the world didn't know.”
“It was a fun moment when Donald Trump turned to his assistant and said, go get me my phone. See. Ready? Boop. The world, listen, FAFO," he added.
The United States in June carried out airstrikes on three of Iran’s most critical nuclear sites, Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, marking the first direct American intervention in Israel’s ongoing conflict with Tehran.
The strike on Fordow, a heavily fortified underground facility, reportedly involved the use of six 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs, weapons only deployable by the US Air Force’s B-2 stealth bombers.
"President Donald J. Trump directed the most complex and secretive military operation in history, and it was a resounding success, resulting in a cease-fire agreement and the end of the 12-day war [between Iran and Israel]," said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a press briefing today at the Pentagon. "Because of decisive military action, President Trump created the conditions to end the war, [while also] decimating — choose your word — obliterating, destroying, Iran's nuclear capabilities."
