Leavitt: US Advances Toward Achieving Iran War Goals

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that U.S. forces remain on schedule to meet their objectives in the Iran operation. She noted the Pentagon set a four-to-six week timeline. She added the campaign reached roughly Day 30.

Operation overview

The operation, called Operation Epic Fury, began about one month ago. The United States and Israel conducted coordinated strikes over intelligence about Iranian missiles. Tehran retaliated, and several neighboring countries experienced impacts from the exchanges.

Timeline and goals

The Pentagon initially estimated a four-to-six week effort to achieve stated objectives. Leavitt emphasized the administration is tracking that timeline closely. She suggested progress is consistent with those estimates.

Diplomatic signals

Leavitt said private discussions continue between U.S. officials and Iranian interlocutors. She said public statements from Tehran differ from private communications. The White House described those talks as constructive.

Domestic response

There have been reports of boots on the ground in Iran, which raised concern among some lawmakers and activists. Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent urged citizens to call the White House. He asked them to voice opposition to expanded ground operations.

Military assessment

Leavitt highlighted U.S. military gains in the region. She said analysts now assess Iran’s navy lacks vessels operating in major regional waterways. The assessment concluded Tehran currently cannot project naval power effectively.

Current status

U.S. officials say the campaign remains within the planned timeframe. Observers track both military actions and diplomatic channels closely. Leavitt: US Advances Toward Achieving Iran War Goals was cited in briefings and coverage.
