Karoline Leavitt Loses It Over Embarrassing Intel Leak on Iran [View all]

President Donald Trump’s press secretary melted down over a report that the commander in chief’s war in Iran isn’t as successful as he says it is.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out on X at “the legacy media” in response to a CBS News report that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s military capabilities are more resilient than the administration and the Pentagon have admitted.

“The legacy media is doing PR for the Iranian regime... again,” Leavitt, 28, wrote in response to the report being shared by CBS News senior White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs. “The truth is that under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. military decimated the Iranian regime’s capabilities in just 38 days.”

“Iran’s defense industrial base was almost completely destroyed. Iran’s ability to build and stockpile ballistic missiles and long-range drones has been set back by years,” she continued. “The vast majority of Iran’s ballistic missiles, launcher vehicles, and long-range attack drones were destroyed.”
