U.S. pilots who carried out the mission to bomb key nuclear sites in Iran were invited to mark the Fourth of July at the White House on Friday, multiple news outlets reported.
Pilots flew B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, F-22 Raptor fighter aircraft and F-35 Lightning stealth strike fighters during the June 21 mission, in which 30,000-pound “bunker-buster” bombs were dropped on underground uranium enrichment plants.
Concurrently, a Navy nuclear-powered submarine launched over two dozen Tomahawk land attack cruise missiles into Iran, striking infrastructure sites in Isfahan.
Pentagon officials said the operation involved more than 125 U.S. aircraft, and 14 American B-2 bomber pilots were the centerpiece of the effort.
In a Fox News interview Sunday with Maria Bartiromo, President Donald Trump indicated he wanted to invite the B-2 pilots who flew the mission to the White House.
