Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: Just over three weeks in, it's abundantly clear that Operation Epic Fury has been a resounding military triumph. More than nine thousand 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 ninety percent. The United States is also annihilating the Iranian regimes navy. We have destroyed more than one hundred and forty of their naval vessels, including almost fifty mine layers. This is the largest elimination of a navy over a three week period since World War II.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: If Iran fails to accept the reality of the current moment, if they fail to understand that they have been defeated militarily, and will continue to be, President Trump will ensure they are hit harder than they have ever been hit before. President Trump does not bluff, and he is prepared to unleash hell. Iran should not miscalculate again. Their last miscalculation cost them their senior leadership, their navy, their air force, and their air defense system. Any violence beyond this point will be because the Iranian regime refused to understand they have already been defeated and refuse to come to a deal.
