White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first press briefing since Operation Epic Fury and was pressed about what the imminent threat was from Iran, that prompted the U.S. Israeli attack. Leavitt repeatedly told reporters that President Trump made his decision based on a “good feeling” that the Iranian regime was going to strike U.S. assets. When pressed, she added that Trump’s feeling was based on fact, and refused to acknowledge the shifting explanations coming from the administration over the past few days: first from the President himself, then from Pete Hegseth, to Marco Rubio, and now from Leavitt.
