White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt delivers remarks to the assembled press pool and answers questions outside the White House. As Leavitt notes, President Trump expected the Iran conflict to last 4 to 6 weeks on a schedule and the operation is ahead of schedule.
President Trump has instructed the U.S. military to completely dismantle and destroy the Iranian military apparatus, including the Iranian navy. That operation will continue until the Iran military is totally destroyed. WATCH:
.
It should have been “quite obvious to all” that this operation was never going to be “one night shock-and-awe.” A problem that has been forty-seven years in the making is going to require quite a long time(!) to unravel.
But: This means that there has now been “a full generation (in progress)” which has never known what “Iran” used to be! The “shining star of the Middle East.” They have never been able to even dream of that. Throughout their lifetimes (to date).
That dream, thanks to President Trump’s leadership, is now within reach.
“But: This means that there has now been “a full generation (in progress)” which has never known what “Iran” used to be! The “shining star of the Middle East.” They have never been able to even dream of that. Throughout their lifetimes (to date).”
I agree, Mike. The same could be said of those born here in the U.S. since 9/11 and “educated” in our public education system.
“The Paris of the Mediterranean”, when I was there in 1973. Beautiful, & there were Armenians, Lebanese, Druze, Syrians, Muslims, Maronite, Chaldean, Assyrian, Catholic, Protestant, Coptic,, Orthodox Christians, Sufis, etc, all living in peace. It was amazing.
What a lovely place!
For sure. When people don’t know a half a dollar when they see it thats an example.
Heard someone say somewhere that President Trump did not START a war with Iran, but is ENDING the war that Iran started with US 47 years ago. That describes it perfectly.
Well said
The moment Iran attacked our Embassy in Tehran and took our citizens hostage, they invaded our country and, in effect, declared war on the United States. 47 years is hardly the longest war in history. The “Reconquista” War lasted 781 years.
Just like James Madison ended the 30 year long scourge of the Barbary pirates in 1815.
Trump is a disgrace.
See my comment above.
You’ve been drinking too much of your own brew.
Every president since Carter has kicked the can down the road, leaving dealing with Iran for the next guy. Meanwhile for 47 years Iran’s mad dog leaders have been running and funding depraved killers who attack not just Israel but everyone else in the Middle East, including the US, all the time chanting “death to America.” Enough. LONG past time to put an end to this crap. I’m pleased that THIS president is finally doing it.
If you are a Democrat, a terrorist or anti America I understand why you feel that way.
Or a foreigner. Don’t assume ‘Johnny walker’ is an American citizen.
I don’t assume any of these pro-war people are Americans. I, on the other hand, am descended from the original generation of real Americans, whose grandsons fought in our revolution. I have watched our country be conquered by aliens (not the little green kind, but the kind who don’t belong) and would rather deport, remigrate, and expel every non-Christian Heritage foreigner from the ruins of the country I once served, and let them solve their own problems somewhere else. I don’t give a g*d*mn rat’s arse about whatever paperwork the occupation government is WDC has issued.
I’d have more sympathy for Israel if their dual citizens weren’t busy engaged in a full court press operation to build a totalitarian-surveillance 2nd Soviet Union in the stinking ruins of the WASP America into which I was born. Some people and peoples are simply incapable of change, and thus their empire is falling apart.
Good luck with your wars. The same morons whose strategic and operational midwittery lost the Ukraine war ARE going to lose this one, too. And by ‘good luck’ I of course actually mean ‘get nuked’.
There you go, a somewhat intellectual discourse. As one whose grandmother was a full blooded Native American, I fully understand your rant regarding ‘alien’ invasion………
One last question for ya, in the 250+ years of United States existence, how many years has the country been ‘at peace’, either not engaged with a foreign nation or fighting internally?
Our history is ‘littered’ with wars.
FFS, you people have been trying all day long.
I have family on Cape Cod and been to Cape since 1986 when I married into a (likewise) conservative family. Many ‘Pilgrim’-claimers I have met there are uber-liberals–because they have huge family wealth since they have passed wealth down throughout the MANY generations. Nice to have these attitudes when you and all your heirs are very, very comfortable– almost 300 years worth of land wealth transfer.
It used to be on the Cape that mostly WW1 and WW2 Navel/Service veterans from the New Emngland area retired there. But for 30 years, all the Cambridge, Boston wealthy elites have been bidding up the property values and changing the politcal sentiment there to the left.
Grampa-in-Law is saluting this military action in support of the US and the free world.
Day drinking?
“Trump is a disgrace.” Allah, the Prophet Mohammad, and the Demonic Democrat Party applaud your comment. In this Spiritual War of Good vs Evil you chose the wrong side. Covfefe
I think you wandered into the wrong bar.
They come from X and get led to the door.
Drinking too much of your namesake?..?..?
No, President Trump is this grace:
Isaiah 45
Unrelenting Victory for Your Son Jesus and Your beloved children–that is Your Plan, Father God, and we thank and praise You for it, Amen!
BLESSINGS The Gipper Lives, Thank You.!
Isaiah 45
1 Thus says the LORD to Cyrus, His anointed, whose right hand I have strengthened to subdue nations before him, and I will weaken the loins of kings, and open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut:
2 “I will go before you, and make the crooked straight. I will break the bronze doors and burst the iron bars.
3 “And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and the things hidden in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, Who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel.”
Isaiah 45…President Trump the 45th President!
What an AMAZING AWESOME GOD we serve!
Keep The FAITH!
BLESSINGS everyone!
Our FATHER has allowed us to live in these almost unbelievable times!
No words. Richard Cranium.
There is always one in the crowd.
Intellectual based discord is one thing, mindless drivel…..well, you must have been imbibing in—–
what dat?
Oh my! Now that you’ve said that I totally believe it’s true because you so factually laid out your reasoning for all of us to hear. I imagine every commenter will now start saying the same thing, because, like, you said it is so. Wow, so insightful, do you have any other factual wisdom we can hear because I don’t want to say President Donald J Trump may be the greatest president ever if you say it’s not true. /s
A podcaster! LOL.
I always told my students: if you want to insult somebody, look into a mirror!!!
Radical liberal
No, you are.
Johnny Walker Lindh, is that you? I heard you got out.
Normally I’d ignore but really how can Johnny score, on the CTH, 12 likes to the post?
Are the colonisers moving on the Refuge.?
Yes, that is also disgusting.
Johnny, pick any of those listed below:
The 17 Americans killed by Iranian backed terrorists in 1983.
The 241 US military members killed in Beirut in 1983.
Bill Buckley killed by Iranian backed terrorists in 1984.
2 American military killed in a bombing in 1984.
The 2 Americans killed after Iranian backed terrorists hijacked their plane to Tehran and killed them in 1984.
The Navy diver killed by Iranian backed terrorists in 1985.
Col. Bill Higgins, killed by Iranian backed terrorists in 1989.
The American killed in Gaza by a car bomb in 1995.
The American killed by an Iranian backed suicide bomber in 1995, or the 3 Americans killed by another bomber in 1996.
The 2 Americans killed by a suicide bomber also in 1996.
The American killed or those wounded in another attack also in 1996.
19 US military killed and 500 wounded when Iranian backed terrorists blew up Khobar Towers in 1996.
A suicide bomber killed 1 American and wounding others in an attack in 1997.
The American citizens among the 224 killed when our embassies were bombed by Iranian backed terrorists in 1998.
The 13 Americans killed by various Iranian backed terrorist attacks from 2001 through 2003.
The 603 US military killed in Iraq between 2003 to 2011 by Iranian backed militias and roadside bombs. Or the hundreds more permanently maimed in the same attacks.
The 6 Americans killed by Iranian backed terrorists in two separate attacks in 2003 and 2006.
The 11 US military or civilians killed by either Iranian backed terrorists or direct attacks by Iranian military between 2007 and 2019.
The hundreds more of US military or civilians killed in various Iranian backed or direct Iranian attacks from 2019 through 2023.
An Iranian backed plot to assassinate President Trump.
In your opinion, which of those listed above deserve to have their deaths/injuries ignored because justice for them makes you uncomfortable?
How many attacks and at what scale are needed before you might be willing to act?
Or would you still only act once you personally were affected?
We are indeed living in a remarkable time!
I wonder if he husband has ever won an argument?
He probably just listens in awe. What’s to argue about?
You must assume he’s been called on.
Karoline Leavitt…You’re no Karine Jean-Pierre.
THANK GOD!!
Karoline Leavitt is a MAGA star. She is a fierce woman who carries herself with confidence and courage-completely unflappable in the face of all media attacks.
She has natural beauty, both inside and out. She doesn’t have to pretend to be strong because her strength comes from God-authentic and righteous strength.
She’s the best Press Secretary I have ever seen. May God continue to bless Karoline and her growing family.
You know what is funny?
If Latrine J-P went to visit her old boss he would have no idea who she is.
I’m not so sure about that. She and Biden likely had the same boss…
I have been searching my memory bank for the name of KJ-K after watching this press conference. I started remembering the binders that one would have to search through to find the answers to a question. First, that press secretary would never go outside without a podium and her binder.
Wishing Karoline Leavitt and her husband the BEST.
Once the dust settles and this is over, it would seem that construction company, equipment company, and military stocks will have a good upside due to the rebuilding and replacing what is being destroyed.
“Totally” is pretty definite. I have no doubt there are weapons in deep hidey holes or residential homes/basements, mountain tunnels, or just buried that our military will not find.
Given the nature of all the radical Islamists we have ever run across, I guarantee there will be some hidden surprises just when we turn our heads a little bit. Be careful over there Mr. Pete.
I know this doesn’t belong on this thread, but Sundance:
There is huge support among Christians and Iranians within the U.S. for Reza Pahlavi. I don’t know the guy. I just know that there’s a huge push for him to become the next guy in Iran.
I posted this on the presidential thread but here it is again, something is in the works maybe?:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/exiled-crown-prince-iran-reza-pahlavi-says-he/
You are correct about the support he’s earned from Iranians, not just in America, but around the world as well.
He’s committed to seeing the Iranian people hold free elections to choose their own form of government.
This will tell you a great deal about his position: https://rezapahlavi.org/en
I should clarify that the push is coming from people, not the Administration. I have no idea what the Administration is planning, but there are a lot of people praying Reza becomes the Shah.
his sister still lives in Iran and has kept him informed of what is happening and what the people want. They have been chanting for him since December when the protests started. That is what ticked of Kalmani the most is they had someone they really wanted and it was not him.
Woo.
No hesitation, no notes, no BS, and clear as rain.
I think she’s probably the best Press Secretary of our lifetime.
She gets my vote!
(For best Press Secretary in our lifetime)
And maybe more attractive than Karine and Jen. Although Vogue would rate Karoline at a distant number 3.
I’m glad you brought it up, because I think she’s also probably the most beautiful Press Secretary we’ve ever had. Total cutie pie.
I was wondering how long it would take for the enemy media to involve Russia Russia Russia into the Iran conflict.
Of course it is PUTIN who is personally providing intel on us locations and positions.
Q. Who would they provide the intel to when the Jews have every phone hacked?
Russia is providing intelligence to Iran regarding U.S. positions during the ongoing military operation, three sources, including a senior U.S. official with direct knowledge, told CBS News on Friday.

Is that like the unnamed sources we always hear about?
Don’t trust anything right now.
Sundance, can you explain the oil production and price for us losers?
Anyone care to comment?
Obviously supply and demand.
Thanks treepers.
I don’t care what she says. I just like hearing her talk.
What a brilliant woman!
Lots of trolls these days trying to sow discord in the comments.
That’s ok, just a reminder that there are a lot of brainwashed people in this world.
Hope they do read the articles though on the off chance that the rinsing cycle will turn on;)
