Quoted from the coverage (2)
“When they leak what time you’re going to attack a country, and the reason you’re attacking is really for defense because you don’t want them to have a weapon that can blow up millions of people in one shot.”
Trump appeared to be talking about the initial June 2025 strike on Iran that targeted three Iranian nuclear sites, claiming that information about the departure of the B-2 bombers from Missouri was leaked to the New York Times and CNN - forcing him to call off the raid.
