White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday it was necessary to bomb Iran because President Donald Trump had a feeling the foreign nation would attack.
The president had a feeling, again, based on fact, that Iran was going to strike the United States, was going to strike our assets in the region, and he made a determination to launch Operation Epic Fury based on all of those reasons, Leavitt said.

Earlier in the press briefing, Leavitt struggled to explain the imminent threat posed by Iran that would justify the U.S. and Israel launching this war.
You listed a long list of grievances against the Iranian government going back to 1979, one reporter noted, referring to the beginning of the Islamic Republics rule in the country. Why is it that you cant say what the imminent threat against the U.S. was that required us to launch this?
