White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will deliver a press briefing this afternoon as Operation Epic Fury continues its fifth day in Iran.
Iran has been escalating retaliations, including the suicide drone bombing of the US consulate in Dubai on Tuesday and the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia on Monday, where the CIA station was hit. US Central Command reports that the Iranian regime has already fired more than 500 ballistic missiles and over 2,000 drones.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, War Secretary Pete Hegseth also held a press briefing on the war with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Air Force General Dan Caine this morning.
The two provided updates on offensive operations and Iran’s diminishing defensive and offensive capabilities.

Leavitt is expected to speak further about the ongoing operations and efforts to rescue Americans.
President Trump said on Tuesday that “more than 9,000 Americans have safely returned home from the Middle East,” urging all to return home on chartered flights free of charge.
Since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, more than 9,000 Americans have safely returned home from the Middle East.
If you are a U.S. Citizen in the Middle East, and you want to come home, please register with the State Department at Step.State.Gov.
The Department will identify where you are, and provide travel options to you. We are already chartering flights, free of charge, and booking commercial options, which we expect will become increasingly available as time goes on.
U.S. Citizens may also call the 24/7 State Department Task Force at +1-202-501-4444.
