‘I Just Spoke to the President’: Hannity Reveals Call With Trump on New Details of Iran Strike

 

Fox News host Sean Hannity had one of the more dramatic show opens in the wake of the United States striking nuclear facilities in Iran, when he revealed at the top that he had just spoken with President Donald Trump moments earlier, and obtained new information on the attack.

“Welcome to Hannity. We begin tonight with this Fox News alert. I just spoke to the President of the United States,” Hannity began. “I have some new information and breaking details to share about tonight’s what is historic air campaign. Now, tonight, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, they are officially dead.

Hannity confirmed the destruction of the sites, and reported first that “six huge bunker buster bombs” were used — it had been speculated only two would be required.

“It appears the United State just completely obliterated Iran’s top secret Fordo nuclear facility with six huge bunker buster bombs. It was originally speculated that you would need two,” said Hannity. “It turns out they used five to six dropped from America’s stealth B-2 bombers and that’s not all.”

“Two other major Iranian nuclear sites, Natanz and Isfahan, were wiped out with 30 Tomahawk missiles launched by American submarines some 400 miles away,” Hannity added. “Everyone is out of harm’s way for now. That does not mean that American assets in the region are not at risk and we are monitoring the Iranian response or potential response all throughout the night.”

A few minutes later he spoke with Jennifer Griffin with more about his call with Trump:
