FULL PRESSER: Leavitt addresses Operation 'Epic Fury', says Iran rejected path of peace

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised President Donald Trump’s military actions against Iran, saying the administration has shown a decisive stance against threats to American security at a time of escalating conflict in the Middle East. Her remarks come amid "Operation Epic Fury," a campaign targeting Iran's military infrastructure and leadership following escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran. "Thus far, Operation Epic Fury has been a resounding success," Leavitt said during a news briefing on Wednesday afternoon, adding that more than 2,000 targets have been hit. "Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, the rogue Iranian terrorist regime is being absolutely crushed," she added. "They are paying for their crimes against America -- and they are playing in blood." Leavitt also said Trump is "correcting decades of cowardice" in U.S. foreign policy and vowed that threats against the U.S. would end under his leadership. "President Trump is finally the man of action," Leavitt said. "President Trump does not bluff," she added. Her comments echo what she recently posted on X earlier this week. "For 47 years, the Iranian regime has actively and intentionally facilitated the killing of Americans while chanting 'death to America' and funding other bloodthirsty terrorists seeking to destroy the United States and all of Western Civilization," Leavitt she wrote. _______________ Hit the subscribe button to stay up-to-date on the latest news, and turn on the notifications to get alerted when the big stories break as we bring them to you live!
