As US president Donald prepared to leave a NATO summit on Wednesday, he said something surprising and unexpected, that Iran had warned the United States in advance of a missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and that he personally told them to go ahead, as per a report. Iran's attack on a US military base was in retaliation for the United States' strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites amid the conflict between Israel and Iran.He described Iranians as they "were very nice," and revealed that, "They gave us warning," as quoted in Military.com report. The US president said that Iranians asked Trump, "We're going to shoot 'em. Is one o'clock OK?," and Trump admitted that he replied, saying, "It's fine," as quoted in the Military.com report.ALSO READ: Who is Hariana Veras, the woman Trump flirted with?

Dan Caine told reporters the next day, according to the report.Caine said it was potentially the largest single use of the Patriot air defense system in US history, explaining that "there was a lot of metal flying around, and yet our U.S. air defenders had only seconds to make complex decisions with strategic impact," as quoted in the Military.com report.He went on to praise the US military, as he said, "These awesome humans, along with their Qatari brothers and sisters in arms, stood between a salvo of Iranian missiles and the safety of Al Udeid," and he also called them the "unsung heroes of the 21st-century United States Army," as quoted in the report.ALSO READ: Could Disney stock surge?

Any insinuation to the contrary is absurd,' as quoted in the report.ALSO READ: Pornhub, XNXX in panic?

The youngest was a 21-year-old private who'd been in the military for less than two years," as quoted in the report.Yes, according to his claims, Trump said Iran warned of the strike and asked if 1 o'clock was acceptable. He replied, 'It's fine.'It was in retaliation for US airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites during tensions involving Iran and Israel, as per the report.
