Bruce Pearl took to social media to thank Donald Trump after the President of the United States said Saturday that the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran.

“Thank you, Mr President, for your strength and vision, keeping us safe,” the Auburn coach posted on X. “Proud of our troops!

“You did what no one has had the courage to do for far too long. You were patient and clear. Pray for Peace through prosperity in the Middle East, expand now on the AA. You prevented a War.”

The decision to directly involve the U.S. comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that have moved to systematically eradicate the country’s air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. But U.S. and Israeli officials have said that American stealth bombers and a 30,000-pound (13,500-kilogram) bunker buster bomb they alone can carry offered the best chance of destroying heavily-fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump said in a post on social media. ”All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home.”

Last week, Pearl strongly condemned those who did not support Israel’s strikes on Iran.

Last Friday, Israel launched a wave of strikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites and military command personnel claiming it was to neuter Iran’s nuclear program.

Pearl, who is Jewish and a staunch supporter of Israel, took to X to say he felt as though the Democratic Party “used to stand with Israel, sadly, not anymore.”
