Former CENTCOM Spokesperson Commends Trump’s Iranian Strikes
Ret. Army Col. Joe Buccino joined Fox News Live to discuss the recent U.S. strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites, which he praised as a necessary and strategically sound decision. Buccino, who served as a spokesperson for the U.S. Central Command, expressed support for former President Donald Trump’s leadership in authorizing the operation. He argued that the strikes effectively addressed Iran’s growing nuclear capabilities and sent a clear message of deterrence to potential adversaries.
The discussion came amid concerns about the vulnerabilities of American troops stationed in the Middle East, particularly following the attacks on U.S. facilities in the region. Buccino provided insight into how such strikes could bolster the security of U.S. military personnel by disrupting Iran’s ability to project power. While acknowledging the risks involved in military action, he stressed that the benefits of the strikes outweighed the potential downsides.
Buccino also emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong defense posture in the face of continued Iranian aggression. He called for a sustained commitment to regional security and highlighted the need for the U.S. to remain proactive in countering threats to its interests. The comments reflect a broader bipartisan consensus on the necessity of a robust military response to Iranian nuclear advancements.
