White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt issued a sharp rebuke Tuesday of a leaked Pentagon report that said the United States’ strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend only set the country’s program back by a few months.
“🚨FAKE NEWS CNN STRIKES AGAIN: This alleged “assessment” is flat-out wrong and was classified as ‘top secret’ but was still leaked to CNN by an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community,” Leavitt posted on X.
“The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran’s nuclear program,” she continued. “Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”
