White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a briefing addressing ongoing military operations related to Iran. The update came during a period of heightened regional tensions and was featured in a video from 1:15 shared by Live Now Fox.
During the briefing, she outlined recent developments regarding U.S. military actions and their impact on Iranian defensive and offensive capabilities. The statement highlighted changes in the scale and effectiveness of attacks as well as reported losses sustained by Iranian naval forces. Her remarks emphasized progress claimed by the United States in the ongoing operation in the broader region.
Leavitt said, “More than 9,000 enemy targets have been struck to date. Compared to the start of the operation, Iran’s ballistic missile attacks and drone attacks are down by roughly 90%. The United States is also annihilating the Iranian regime’s navy. We have destroyed more than 140 of their naval vessels, including almost 50 mine layers. This is the largest elimination of a navy over a three-week period since World War II.”
Leavitt stated that the operation has significantly weakened Iran’s military capacity, particularly in missile, drone, and naval operations. She emphasized that sustained strikes have reduced Iran’s ability to launch attacks and maintain its defensive systems. According to her remarks, U.S. forces have continued targeting key military assets to limit further threats in the region.
The briefing also reflected the administration’s broader position that ongoing operations are aimed at maintaining pressure and preventing escalation. Officials argue that continued strikes are intended to disrupt Iran’s military infrastructure and reduce its operational reach. The situation remains fluid as developments continue to unfold in the region. Read_More…
