Fox News anchor Bret Baier opined President Donald Trump’s Saturday strikes against Iran were especially meaningful because they were carried out while the sun was already up.
Baier, a former Pentagon correspondent, told “Fox and Friends Weekend” the Pentagon’s Operation Epic Fury against the Islamic theocracy was “not under the cover of darkness,” a decision he said evoked “confidence” in the U.S. military.
“It is overwhelming force. And one thing that really strikes you is that this happened in daylight,” the anchor told hosts Lawrence Jones, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade. “This was not under the cover of darkness. This was not overnight at 3 a.m. their time. This was when the sun was up.”
“So, there is a confidence in this military that they have the ability to take targets out indiscriminately, even in sunlight,” Baier stressed.
