Auburn Tiger’s men’s basketball head coach Bruce Pearl fired by a reminder to his followers after President Donald Trump announced that the US military had beaten three Iranian nuclear places.
Pearl, president of the American Israel Education Association with his duties as a college basketball coach, thanked God for protecting American troops as they made the bold flight over Iran to bomb its nuclear facilities and wrote that the United States is not at war with Iran.

“Thank you God for your protection over our troops. We are not at war with Iran, we are at war with Iran’s military nuclear program,” Pearl wrote about X. “The president wants peace, now the ball is in the right to the Iranian leadership. Iran’s terrorist has been diminished but still present.”
Pearl has been a stronger supporter of Israel, and his voice in his support has grown since Hamas’ terrorist attack on the nation on October 7, 2023.
Earlier this week he expressed support to the president as he weighed potential strikes on Iran.
“We can go back and talk about 1982 in Lebanon and all the American marines who were murdered,” he said at Outkick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.” “We can talk about October 7, when 45 Americans were killed. And they abducted, you know, six or seven more and executed them before Israel saved them.

“This has been going on since 1979, and it is becoming a safer place, a non-nuclear Iran. And without having the money to be able to do what they have done, the world will be a safer place.”
“If the Middle East becomes more secure and stronger, look at what a dynamic land Israel is. Look at all the unicorns that are there. Look at all the high -tech and development. Look at all wealth. If you started spreading it to some of these other Middle Eastern countries, who will they cooperate with? The United States?

Trump announced in a truth about truth that the US military had “completed our very successful attacks” on the Iranian facilities. The United States was targeting Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. He wrote that American aircraft had dropped a “full payload of bombs” on the nuclear installations.
