Pilots who flew Iran mission will be at the White House with Trump for July 4 event

Washington — The U.S. pilots who flew in a bombing mission targeting Iranian nuclear facilities will attend the White House's July 4 celebration this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.

The event is also expected to feature a flyover by B-2 Spirit bombers, the jets that were used to strike Iran's uranium enrichment sites at Fordo and Natanz earlier this month in an operation ordered by President Trump. 

Additional personnel from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri — where the bombers are based — will also attend the event, which is expected to feature remarks from Mr. Trump.
