"House Speaker Mike Johnson stated, 'Operation Epic Fury is almost done. I mean, I think the mission that was very clearly defined in the beginning, the objectives have been met.'"
"'We don't have boots on the ground. I don't think that's the intention, but I think Iran should watch that build up, and they need to take note of that,' Johnson added."
"'As I said at the beginning of my remarks, we are meeting our goals of Operation Epic Fury expeditiously,' Leavitt asserted."
"'The President likes to maintain options at his disposal. It's the Pentagon's job to provide those options to the commander-in-chief,' Leavitt stated."
The White House Press Secretary stated that the objectives of Operation Epic Fury are being accomplished quickly, despite new troop deployments. House Speaker Mike Johnson claimed the Iran war is almost over, while acknowledging the deployment of 2,000 troops from an Army airborne division. He denied that this indicated an imminent boots-on-the-ground operation. The Press Secretary emphasized the importance of maintaining options for the President and directed inquiries about troop deployments to the Pentagon.
