Karoline Leavitt: Diplomacy Is Always Trump’s First Option and Iran ‘Would Be Very Wise to Make a Deal’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “Well, there’s many reasons and arguments that one could make for a strike against the — against Iran. The president had a very successful operation as commander-in-chief with Operation Midnight Hammer, as you know, as you just said, totally obliterated Iran’s nuclear facilities. The president has always been very clear, though, with respect to Iran or any country around the world. Diplomacy is always his first option. And Iran would be very wise to make a deal with President Trump and with this administration. He’s talking to many people, of course, his national security team first and foremost. And you know who the members of that team are. And this is something obviously the president takes seriously. He’s always thinking about what’s in the best interest of the United States of America, of our military, of the American people. And that’s how he makes decisions with respect to military action of any kind.”
