🚨#BREAKING: A mass casualty incident has been declared in and around Vance Air Force Base, extending toward Enid Oklahoma Woodring Regional Airport, following an extremely large and powerful tornado that moved through the area under a Tornado Emergency.
Officials report widespread, catastrophic damage, with numerous homes destroyed or heavily damaged, and vehicles either severely damaged or completely swept away. This is an extremely serious and rapidly developing situation. The number of injuries is not known at this time as search and rescue operations continue across the impacted area.
This officer and his dog are very impressive. They’ve got the moves.
This is Officer Brian Santos and his K9 partner Kyra from Cocoa PD in Florida. They’ve been a team since 2018.
Impressive!
Exclusive: @BretBaier spoke to President Trump by phone tonight following start of airstrikes.
Here’s what he said:
President Trump was aware of the strikes beforehand. There were no surprises, but the US was NOT involved militarily and hopes Iran will return to the negotiating table.
President Trump:
“Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb and we are hoping to get back to the negotiating table. We will see. There are several people in leadership that will not be coming back.” (A reference to some of the Iranian leaders who were killed tonight by Israel.)
Pres Trump has spoken to PM Netanyahu several times in recent days.
The Trump Administration reached out to at least one key Middle Eastern ally to acknowledge that the strike was going to happen but that the US was not involved in the strikes and the goal is still to get Iran back to the negotiating table.
The President is looking to see if there is retaliation, CENTCOM is on high alert, The US will defend itself and Israel if Iran retaliates.
He said I hope they get back to the negotiating table.
The US has replenished Iron Dome missiles in recent weeks, according to administration officials.
US officials confirm a number of top Iranian leaders are dead after the strikes.
Again, the US military was not involved in any way in these strikes, but clearly the administration knew about the Israeli plans in advance and was not surprised.
