President Donald Trump has yet to exit Air Force One, as he remains on board exchanging greetings with Alaskan senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan as well as Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, according to a White House official.

In that war, Israel had either destroyed or severely damaged nearly all of Iran's air defense systems, so Iranian skies were undefended thereafter.

Vice President JD Vance met with U.S. troops stationed at a key military installation for the U.S. Air Force in England that supports heavy bomber aircraft.
