**Update at the bottom of the article**
The Los Angeles County Sheriffs received major backlash over an absurd statement on the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites.
President Trump on Saturday night after he announced the US bombed three Iranian nuclear sites.
“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. 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. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said on Truth Social on Saturday.
According to reports, B-2 Bombers dropped at least 6 30,000-pound bunker busting bombs on the Fordow nuclear plant. The US claims it totally obliterated the underground plant.
The US only targeted Iran’s nuclear sites, however, the Los Angeles Sheriffs said their hearts go out to the “families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran.”
LASDHQ’s full statement:
Our hearts go out to the victims and families impacted by the recent bombings in Iran. While this tragic event occurred overseas, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is closely monitoring the situation alongside our local, state, and federal partners.
At the moment, there are no known threats to Los Angeles County. However, out of an abundance of caution, we are increasing patrol checks at places of worship and other sensitive locations throughout the county.
The safety and security of our communities remain our top priority. We will continue to assess and respond to any developments as they arise.
If you see something, say something.
Update: The LASDHQ deleted the tweet but TGP has a screenshot of the original statement:

Update: The Los Angeles County Sheriffs apologized.
LASDHQ said they are conducting an internal review to see how the original X post was created and published.
“We are issuing this statement to formally apologize for an offensive and inappropriate social media post recently posted on our Department social media platform regarding the ongoing conflict in Iran. The post was unacceptable, made in error, and does not reflect the views of Sheriff Robert G. Luna or the Department,” the new statement said.
