Abbott ups readiness of Texas National Guard, DPS after Iran strike

(The Center Square) – After President Donald Trump ordered U.S. military to strike three Iranian nuclear targets late Saturday, Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state law enforcement to elevate readiness in the event that any retaliatory response may occur in Texas.

Late Saturday night, Trump addressed the nation stating that the U.S. “carried out massive precision strikes on three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” describing it as “an extraordinary military success.” As a result, Iran’s key nuclear enrichment facilities were “completely and totally obliterated.”
