Trump White House Hits Back at MAGA Influencer Confused' By Messaging on Iran Attack

"So far we've heard that although we killed the whole Iranian regime, this was not a regime change war. And although we obliterated their nuclear program, we had to do this because of their nuclear program. And although Iran was not planning any attacks on the US, they also might have been, depending on who you ask. The messaging on this thing is, to put it mildly, confused."

"Destroy the Iranian regime's missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. Annihilate the Iranian regime's Navy. Ensure the regime's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces. Stop them from making and using IEDs or roadside bombs, which have gravely wounded and killed thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. Guarantee that Iran can NEVER obtain a nuclear weapon."

"49 of the most senior Iranian regime leaders including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have already been wiped off the face of the Earth so far in the opening strikes of Operation Epic Fury. Preventing this radical regime and its terrorist leaders from threatening America and our core national security interests is a clear-eyed and necessary objective."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to MAGA influencer Matt Walsh's criticism of the administration's messaging regarding U.S. military operations against Iran. Walsh claimed the administration's communications were contradictory and confusing regarding regime change, nuclear program destruction, and Iranian threat levels. Leavitt countered by detailing President Trump's stated objectives for Operation Epic Fury, including destroying Iran's missile capabilities and industry, eliminating naval forces, preventing nuclear weapons development, stopping terrorist proxy activities, and eliminating IED production. She emphasized that 49 senior Iranian regime leaders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed in initial strikes, framing the operation as necessary for American national security interests.
