President Donald Trump has said Iran-Nuclear Programs targeted by US B-2-Stealth bombers were “wiped out.”

The excited situation in Iran unfolded the same day that former MLB manager Buck Showalter traveled through New York City.

Showalter, called Majors’ Manager for the year four times during his long management career, remembered his experience during a recent performance on Outkicks “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich.”

“Let me tell you what, note to yourself, try not to travel in or out into New York City the day your country bombed Iran. Holy Moly, full alarm,” said the former New York Mets skipper when asked by Dakich if he had traveled as tension in Iran reached his latest heights.

Showalter added that he is in favor of tight security measures at airports across the United States

“The airport was a lot of fun, Dan, let’s say that that way. You know what people on security … I want them to check out everyone.

“Be diligent over it. Take the time, I will stand in line a few minutes more, get it right. Go your head ran back that bag again. Get him through it again. All complaints about security. On what? What do you want them to do. Ah, it’s ok. Today is a free day. Just go straight on.”

While Showalter’s latest management tint was with Mets, he started his coaching career in Bronx with New York Yankees. He was eventually promoted and appointed team manager. Showalter also managed Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles.

Although US defense secretary Pete Hegeth said the Iranian places were “destroyed”, US intelligence agencies continue to assess the damage.
