The military administration and American Trump used strategic deception and lures to make the surprise and successful strikes on Iranian nuclear installations on Saturday evening which took the world by surprise after President Donald Trump said that such an operation could take place in the coming weeks, not necessarily days.
Trump announced the Saturday evening strikes on Iran in a social post of truth which was not preceded by media leaks or speculation that the strikes were imminent. The unexpected social media post was followed a few hours later by a brief Trump address to the Nation when he was flanked by the Secretary of Defense Pete HegsethSecretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice-President JD Vance.
The strikes, which the administration described as an overwhelming success which erased the Iranian nuclear installations and supported the nation in a corner to conclude a peace agreement, were celebrated by Hegseth and president of the chiefs of joint staff, General Dan Caine, like those who were concluded in secret and intentionally deceived of the enemy.
“At midnight Friday to Saturday morning, a large B-2 Strike package made up of bombers was launched from the continental United States,” said Caine at a Sunday morning press conference Pentagon. “As part of the plan to maintain the tactical surprise, part of the package went to the west and in the Pacific as a lure. An effort of deception, known only of an extremely small number of planners and key leaders here in Washington and Tampa.”

Before Saturday evening strikes, six B-2 stealth bomber from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri were on the way to a US Air Force Base in Guam, US officials confirmed to Fox News.
“The main strike package, made up of seven B-2 spiritual bombers, each with two crew members, took place quietly in the east with a minimum of communications,” said Caine. “Throughout the 18-hour flight in the target area, the plane ended several ravages in flight. Once down by land, the B-2S have linked to the escort and to support the planes in a complex and timed maneuver, requiring exact synchronization on several platforms in a narrow airspace, all done with minimal communications.”
The chief correspondent of Fox News in chief national security, Jennifer Griffin, said in an appearance on Saturday evening when News had broken strikes that reports on bombers were probably one of the “misleading treats to suggest that President Trump may have made the decision”.

“These six B-2 bombers who headed west towards Guam, they would not have reached Iran in time to participate in this strike,” she said, while speaking with Bret Baier de Fox News on Saturday evening. “So, that suggests that there was an additional B-1 package that may have stolen east of Whiteman Air Force’s base. Again, this was part of the deception. There were a lot of misleading treats to suggest that President Trump may have resumed the decision and that it would happen from now on.”
Trump is launching precision strikes against Iran. Triumph or trap?
Hegseth declared in his remarks before the media on Sunday morning that the US military had taken advantage of the “bad orientation” and the total secret, apart from the main national security officials, to carry out strikes “without the world knowing it at all.”
“This involved poor orientation and the highest operational security. Our B-2 has entered and out of these nuclear sites, in and outward and back, without the world knowing it at all,” said Hegseth. “In this way, it was historic.”
It was the longest B-2 Spirit Bomber mission since 2001, the The second longest B-2 mission never controlled and the largest B-2 operational strike in the history of the United States, said Hegseth and Caine at the Sunday press conference.
The surprise strikes after Trump saying, via comments delivered by the press secretary of the White House Karoline Leavitt Thursday during a press briefing, that he would make a decision on Iran in the following two weeks, which initially pointed out that such strikes could take place in the coming weeks and not imminently.
“I have a message directly from the president, and I quote:” Based on the basis of the fact that there is substantial chances of negotiations which may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will decide or not for or not in the next two weeks, “Leavitt said during a white chamber press point on Thursday, citing Trump.
Trump said in his speech to the nation on Saturday evening that “Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities had been completely and completely erased” and that Iran is now faced with peace or to face future attacks.
“And Iran, the Middle East intimidator, must now make peace. If they do not do so, future attacks would be much larger and much easier.”
Trump described strikes as a “spectacular military success”.
“Not time ago, the American army made massive precision strikes on the three main nuclear installations of the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan,” he said. “Everyone has heard these names for years because they have built this horribly destructive business. Our goal was the destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop of the nuclear threat posed by the world’s sponsor of the world in the world. Tonight, I can point out to the world that strikes were a spectacular military success.”

“For 40 years, Iran said, “Death in America. Died in Israel. They killed our people, breathtaking their arms, moving legs with bombs on the roadside, “said Trump.” It was their specialty. We have lost more than a thousand people and hundreds of thousands through the Middle East and the whole world died accordingly of their hatred in particular. “”
