Claims and Consequences

President Trump posted that the U.S. had "beaten and completely decimated Iran" while acknowledging Iran could still interfere with the waterway. Leavitt argued the blockade "underscores" the need for the operation and said the administration has a "plethora of solutions" to reopen the Strait and ease gas prices. Reports also say Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in initial strikes and Mojtaba Khamenei has assumed leadership.
