from Blitzer interview.
As of March 1, 2026, following major U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran, the U.S. military and Israel executed nearly 900 strikes within the first 12 hours, targeting over 500 locations, including IRGC facilities, air defenses, and missile sites. The offensive involved roughly 75 precision-guided munitions and 125+ aircraft, alongside Tomahawk missiles from the Navy.
Good thing we're not at war. No telling what war is.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did say this but I cannot find a cite/source. Do you have one?

So is he saying it was just an execution by one world leader of another? Well, that's comforting.

The bottom part on munitions is what was recorded on the strikes so far. What he said is in the title.

It's a special military operation. I guess that's what it's called nowdays.
