WASHINGTON, DC: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivered a briefing today, March 5, lavishing praise on President Trump for his leadership during the ongoing military operation against Iran.

Leavitt declared that Operation Epic Fury is "absolutely CRUSHING" the Iranian regime, marking the end of nearly five decades of enabling the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.

According to Leavitt, future generations will recognize this campaign as the definitive moment the specter of a nuclear-armed Iran was extinguished.

She asserted that the mission is successfully holding "monsters" accountable while permanently dismantling their nuclear aspirations.

Four strategic objectives for victory



Leavitt reiterated the clear objectives President Trump established at the onset of the combat operations launched last weekend.

The primary goals include the destruction of the regime's ballistic missiles and the razing of their missile industry to the ground. Furthermore, the US seeks to ensure that terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the free world or attack American armed forces.

The mission is also designed to annihilate the Iranian Navy and provide a guarantee that the regime can never obtain a nuclear weapon.

Leavitt noted that, thus far, Iran's regional proxies have "hardly" put up a fight against the combined force of the operation.

Iranian naval presence effectively annihilated



The White House confirmed the destruction of more than 20 Iranian ships, including the regime's top submarine, which was neutralized by a torpedo strike.

This marks the first time such a tactic has been used since World War II. 

Leavitt highlighted that there is currently not a single Iranian ship underway in the Arabian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, or the Gulf of Oman.

Complete airspace dominance expected shortly



American forces have already struck more than 2,000 targets, successfully destroying hundreds of ballistic missiles, launchers, and drones.

Leavitt shared that the administration expects to achieve "complete and total dominance" over Iranian airspace within the coming hours.

This air superiority will clear the path for US and Israeli warriors to continue their "noble" objectives. 

Leavitt concluded that the "resounding success" of Operation Epic Fury demonstrates that the era of tolerating the rogue regime has officially ended.
