From Fox News: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Friday that U.S. forces were “absolutely decimating” the Iranian regime. She revealed during an appearance on Fox News’ “America Reports” that American service members sunk 30 Iranian ships, leaving Tehran’s Navy “combat ineffective.”
Leavitt also noted that Iran’s retaliatory ballistic missile strikes against the U.S. and its allies decreased by 90% since the start of Operation Epic Fury because of the damage done to their ballistic missile weaponry and arsenal capacity.
“Of course, the overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon,” Leavitt said. “That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran to the United States and our personnel in the region, and President Trump and the United States military are focused on tackling this threat every single day.”
After President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Friday that the US will not settle for anything but an “unconditional surrender” from Iran, US crude oil prices spiked, causing a significant drop in the Dow and declines in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.
Leavitt explained his statement, saying, “President Trump means when he says unconditional surrender is when he, as commander in chief of the United States military and the leader of the free world, determines that Iran can no longer pose a threat to the United States of America and to our troops and our personnel in the Middle East.
“When the president determines that Iran no longer poses that threat, that’s when that unconditional surrender will take place.”
Leavitt also commented on Iran’s next leader, saying “The president has said, of course, it’s in the best interest of the United States to have a leader that is no longer chanting ‘Death to America,’ that is no longer conspiring behind our backs and lying to the American people and to our government about perforating a new nuclear weapon, which Iran has been doing for decades.”
