Longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon who was spot-on with his prediction that the president would strike Iran on Saturday is now warning that it could spark World War III.
Bannon, who served as Trump’s chief White House strategist during his first term and continues to be an influential voice in the MAGA movement, referenced the looming attack on his ‘War Room Pandemic’ podcast hours before U.S. bombers carried out the strike.
‘I’m just reporting what I’m hearing from pretty good sources. The party is on,’ Bannon said on his podcast.
‘So another big weekend in this unfolding aspect of the Third World War – and no, anyone that’s telling you that the Third World War is not here, is absolutely, does not understand the development and evolution of kinetic energy,’ he said.
Hours later, Trump surprised the world a little before 8 p.m. ET Saturday by announcing on Truth Social that he had given the go-ahead to attack Iran.
Trump used six massive 30,000-pound ‘bunker buster’ bombs and 30 Tomahawk missiles to destroy Fordow, Natanz and Esfahan.
Trump addressed the nation, calling the strikes on a trio of Iranian nuclear sites a ‘spectacular military success.’
‘Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated.’
He also gave a stark warning to Tehran that more attacks would be coming if the regime didn’t make peace.
