Washington DC [US], June 27 (ANI): White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt on Thursday (US local time) underscored the achievements of Operation ‘Midnight Hammer’ launched by the US to conduct precision strikes against Iranian nuclear sites and noted that it would result in peace and stability in West Asia.
Karoline Leavitt made the remarks during a press briefing on Thursday.
“President Trump finally ended the immediate threat of a nuclear Iranian regime. Following President Trump’s command, the most powerful military in the history of the world executed massive precision strikes on three of the Iranian regime’s key nuclear facilities,” Leavitt said.
“The objective of Operation Midnight Hammer was to destroy the regime’s nuclear enrichment capacity and stop the grave nuclear threat posed to the United States, Israel, and the rest of the free world. The mission, which will go down in the history books, was an overwhelming success,” she added.
Speaking about the nuclear program of Iran, she mentioned that Iran was weeks away from being able to produce a nuclear weapon.
“That would have threatened the entire world before President Trump took this decisive action on Saturday night to obliterate their nuclear capabilities,” the White House Press Secretary added.
Leavitt took a dig at the past presidencies and contrasted them to the leadership of President Donald Trump.
“Barack Obama and Joe Biden sent pallets of cash, American taxpayer dollars, in a failed attempt to buy the Iranian regime’s compliance with a weak and ineffective deal. President Trump sent a fleet of American warplanes to destroy Iran’s ability to produce a nuclear weapon. The United States and the entire world are safer because of this president’s decisiveness,” she said.
She underlined that a broad consensus was emerging that Iran’s nuclear capabilities were indeed destroyed.
“Despite agenda-driven leaks by the fake news media aimed at undermining this incredible accomplishment achieved by President Trump and our brave fighter pilots, there is a broad consensus emerging already that Iran’s nuclear capabilities were indeed destroyed. The United States, Israel, the United Nations, and even Iran all agree they can no longer build a nuclear weapon,” Press Secretary mentioned.
Leavitt underscored that within 48 hours of the strikes, “President Trump and his team brokered a historic ceasefire between Israel and Iran and officially ended the 12-day war.”
“The Middle East is now shifting away from chaos and bloodshed and moving toward the beginning stages of a new era of peace and stability that President Trump has long called on them to achieve. This was unthinkable at this time last week, and this is what peace through strength looks like,” she said.
The conflict between Iran and Israel began on June 13 when Israel launched a large-scale airstrike targeting Iranian military and nuclear facilities under “Operation Rising Lion”. Iran responded by launching “Operation True Promise 3”, a campaign involving missile and drone attacks against Israel’s infrastructure. (ANI)
