White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has strongly outlined US objectives in the Middle East, declaring that obliterating the Iranian regime would be beneficial for global stability and energy markets. Speaking on Operation Epic Fury, she detailed the destruction of Iran’s navy—with over 30 vessels sunk—rendering it combat ineffective.

Leavitt emphasized the successful neutralization of ballistic missile threats and nuclear sites, aligning with President Trump’s demands for unconditional surrender from Tehran. She stressed that eliminating the “rogue terrorist regime” is key to long-term peace and secure energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz.

These statements reflect a firm policy of maximum pressure, with the administration highlighting rapid progress toward achieving strategic goals in just days of intensified operations.
