US President Trump praised the US strikes on Iran and said pilots and mechanics who worked on the planes that flew over Iran would be at the White House for Independence Day celebrations, The Hill reported.
He reiterated that Iran had warned the US before launching missiles at a US military base in Qatar in retaliation for the strikes on nuclear facilities.
“They were kind enough to call me and say they wanted to shoot us 14 times. And I said, ‘Let’s do it.’ And they fired 14 high-quality, very fast missiles. They shot them all down,” he added.
He said Iranian officials want to meet with their US counterparts.
“I think they want to meet. I know they want to meet. And if that’s what it takes, I’ll do it,” he said.
