White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the United States is receiving one set of messages
By Sammy,
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the United States is receiving one set of messages from Tehran in private while hearing very different rhetoric in Iran's public statements as unrest continues across the country. Speaking to Fox News, she said President Donald Trump still views diplomacy as the preferred path but is ready to authorize military force if he believes it is necessary.
Leavitt added that Iranian leaders are fully aware of Trump's willingness to act and claimed that Tehran's main source of leverage, its nuclear program, was already "totally obliterated" by the United States under his leadership. She said the administration is intentionally keeping its next steps unclear and that only the president will decide what comes next, leaving the world waiting for his decision.
