Leavitt: President Trump Has Military Options on the Table that He Always Smartly Retains as Commander-in-Chief

‘But right now, diplomacy hopefully continues and we’ll get to a place where the President’s red lines will be met’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: “President Trump has been clear from the beginning what the objectives of this mission were. The objectives of Operation Epic Fury were of course to significantly diminish the Iranian regime's ballistic missile capability, which we have done. It was to completely annihilate their navy, which we have done. As I said previously, it is sitting in the bottom of the sea. We've taken out more than 160 of their naval vessels. Ultimately, the goal of Operation Epic Fury was to ensure that Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon. And we've now transitioned into this diplomatic phase to get that done through the means of a deal. Now, President Trump has military options on the table that he always smartly retains as commander-in-chief.”
