Trump: "The Iranians aren't moving at the bombed nuclear facilities, they are covered in rocks"
Trump said there will be no attack on Iran today, claiming the Iranians are not restoring the bombed nuclear facilities, which are covered in rocks. CENTCOM commander visited the Strait of Hormuz, the State Department evacuated staff from Riyadh due to escalation with the Houthis, and Sri Lanka rescued 40 Iranian sailors.
US President Donald Trump told reporters today (Sunday) that "there will be no attack on Iran today," claiming the Iranians "aren't moving" at the bombed nuclear facilities, which are "covered in thousands of tons of rocks." In an interview with Fox News, Trump said the US can read the tag on a person's shirt from space and knows exactly what is happening at the bombed mountain. Meanwhile, CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper visited the Strait of Hormuz and noted a milestone in exporting over 1.5 billion barrels of crude oil since summer. The US State Department confirmed it ordered the evacuation of some staff and their families from the embassy in Riyadh due to fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in Yemen. Sri Lanka coordinated the rescue of 40 Iranian sailors from 19 commercial vessels, which according to reports were on oil tankers under US sanctions. In Iran, residents of Tehran fear a resurgence of war and are hoarding medicine and food, amid collapsing purchasing power and soaring inflation.
