Bret Baier Says Daytime Timing of Trump’s Iran Strikes Signaled U.S. Confidence

President Trump is pleased with U.S. and Israeli daylight strikes on Iran, noting no U.S. casualties and less resistance than expected, officials said.

  • Bret Baier said Saturday afternoon that President Donald Trump is 'very happy' and 'pleased' with how U.S. and Israeli strikes have gone so far, with no U.S. casualties reported.
  • Citing long-term threats, Baier noted the strikes respond to decades of hostile actions by the Iranian regime, including proxy attacks and missile threats, as part of their rationale.
  • Baier highlighted the timing, noting Trump's eight-minute Truth Social video was posted at 2:30 a.m. EST and Operation Epic Fury strikes began after 9:00 a.m. local Iranian time in daylight.
  • Immediate consequences included Israel calling up 70,000 military reservists, conflicting reports on Ali Khamenei's status, and Iranians receiving texts stating 'Help is here' as Netanyahu urged to 'topple this regime'.
  • Looking ahead, Baier noted the Trump administration has 'off ramps' for Operation Epic Fury, major questions remain unanswered, and observers contrasted the daylight strikes with Operation Absolute Resolve’s pre-dawn timing.
