Pilots behind Trump’s Iran strikes to join July 4 White House celebration with spectacular B-2 bomber flyover


The event will feature a dramatic flyover by the same stealth bombers that carried out the precision strikes on Iran’s uranium enrichment sites at Fordo and Natanz earlier this month, alongside F-22 and F-35 jets , showcasing America’s airpower.The White House celebration will bring together the pilots and personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base , honoring their role in what the administration calls a “decisive and successful” mission. Leavitt emphasized that the flyover will display “the might of America’s Air Force” and the “state-of-the-art” capabilities used in the operation.The event underscores the Trump administration’s message of “peace through strength,” with Vice President JD Vance reiterating on Sunday that the strikes were intended to prevent war by dismantling Iran’s nuclear ambitions without risking American lives on the ground.Security experts have raised concerns about publicly identifying the pilots, noting the risks to their safety and families. Additional B-2s flew over the Pacific as decoys to mask the mission’s true target.Trump has hailed the strikes as a decisive success, declaring that key Iranian nuclear sites were “obliterated.” However, international assessments, including from the U.N.’s nuclear chief Rafael Mariano Grossi , indicate the strikes caused “severe damage” but did not completely destroy Iran’s nuclear program.
