President Donald Trump has said that Iran’s nuclear program sites attacked by American stealthy bombers B-2 were “erased.”

The tense situation in Iran developed the same day as the former MLB Buck Showalter manager was traveling through New York City.

Showalter, appointed manager of the year of Majors four times during his long management career, recalled his experience during a recent appearance in “No with Dakich” of Outkick.

“Let me tell you what, consider yourself, try not to travel inside or outside New York City the day your country bombarded Iran. Holy Moly, a complete alert,” said former New York Mets captain when Dakich asked him if he had traveled as tensions in Iran reached his last heights.

Showalter added that he is a defender of strict security measures at the United States airports

“The airport was very fun, give, let’s say so. You know what people in security … I want them to review everyone.

“Be diligent about it. Take your time, I will put myself in a queue a few more minutes, do it well. Go run that bag again. Have me going through it again. Everyone complains about security. What? What do you want to do?

Although Showalter’s most recent management period was with the METS, he began his career as a coach at the Bronx with the New York Yankees. Finally, the team manager was promoted and appointed. Showalter also administered the Arizona Diamondbacks, Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles.

Although the United States Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth said that Iranian sites were “destroyed”, the United States intelligence agencies continue to evaluate the damage.

The preliminary report of the United States Defense Intelligence Agency, obtained by Associated Press, said the attacks caused significant damage to the Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan sites. However, the report also pointed out that it was not believed that the sites were destroyed.

Israel said that Iran’s nuclear program has delayed in “many years,” the AP said.

The latest satellite images of Maxar Technologies showed considerable damage to the three nuclear sites.
