Press Sec. Leavitt: By Bombing Iran, Trump ‘Prevented a Rogue, Radical Regime from Threatening Our People’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “The president is pleased, the country is pleased, and frankly, Brian, the whole world should be pleased with the courageous action that President Trump and our United States military took on Saturday night. I want to thank, and the president wants to thank, the brave pilots who flew nearly 40 hours and more than 7,000 miles from the middle of America to the Middle East to conduct this highly successful and complex precision strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. This is an operation that presidents of the past have dreamed about, but no president had the guts to actually do it. But President Trump did, to take away this imminent threat, not just to the state of Israel, but to the United States and the rest of the world. So the country is a safer place today because of the president's bold action, and he has prevented a nuclear conflict, he has prevented a rogue, radical regime from obtaining a nuclear bomb and threatening our people.”
