White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS News that President Trump's statement from his cabinet meeting stands: the United States will prevail and Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon under his administration, according to the report.
The White House publicly reaffirmed President Trump's hardline stance on Iran's nuclear program overnight, as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told CBS News: "As President Trump said at his cabinet meeting today, the United States will win, and Iran will not have a nuclear weapon on his watch."
The statement comes amid reports that Israel and the United States are planning a joint strike on Iranian energy infrastructure, possibly as early as this weekend. CBS News reported the strike plans earlier Saturday, citing unnamed officials. The Zioneer covered the initial CBS report at 00:05 Jerusalem (Saturday).
Leavitt's remarks reinforce the administration's resolve as the military campaign against Iranian nuclear and defense assets continues. The U.S. has conducted multiple waves of strikes in recent weeks, and President Trump has indicated further operations are likely.
