Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt released a follow up statement after coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes pounded Iranian military infrastructure in what officials described as a decisive blow to Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and missile capabilities.
According to Leavitt, President Donald Trump was actively overseeing developments as the operation unfolded.
She stated that the president “monitored the situation” from his Mar-A-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida while the strikes were underway and confirmed that he spoke directly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as events escalated.
The White House also emphasized that congressional leadership was notified in advance.
“Prior to the attacks, Secretary Rubio called all members of the gang of eight to provide congressional notification, and he was able to reach and brief seven of the eight members,” the statement continued. “The President and his national security team will continue to closely monitor the situation throughout the day.”
