The White House announced Thursday that America’s military push against Iran is on track, with devastating blows to Tehran’s navy and missile arsenal paving the way for mission success. President Trump, advocating for expanded U.S. weapons manufacturing, is also monitoring Iran’s leadership vacuum.
Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt detailed the triumphs of Operation Epic Fury, which she said is hurtling toward completion in the coming weeks. Initial estimates of four to six weeks remain on target, with rapid advancements reported across all fronts.
Iran’s naval power has been virtually obliterated, with more than 30 ships sent to the ocean floor. This has left their forces unable to mount any meaningful naval defense, a critical blow to their regional ambitions.
Efforts to dismantle Iran’s ballistic missile program have yielded impressive results. Counterattacks from Tehran have plummeted by nearly 90% in just six days. Iran-backed militias, including Hezbollah and Houthis, have failed to launch significant reprisals.
The overarching goal is to neutralize all threats posed by Iran to American interests and partners. Leavitt explained Trump’s ‘unconditional surrender’ remarks as the inevitable state Iran will reach once U.S. forces confirm no further dangers exist and all operation goals are fulfilled.
Tehran’s regime is in tatters after U.S. and Israeli strikes wiped out over 50 top leaders. Governance is collapsing, prompting U.S. agencies to scout for viable successors. Leavitt sidestepped specifics on future plans.
Claims of Russian aid to Iran were dismissed as insignificant. With Iran’s military gutted, the focus shifts to reshaping its political future and bolstering America’s industrial base for enduring strength.
