In this White House press briefing, administration officials provide updates on Operation Epic Fury, outlining the progress of U.S. military operations against Iran and the broader strategic objectives of the campaign. Officials report that thousands of enemy targets have already been struck, with Iranian missile and drone attacks sharply reduced as U.S. forces continue targeting missile infrastructure and naval capabilities. The administration reiterates its goal of dismantling Iran’s ability to threaten the region and ensuring the regime can never obtain a nuclear weapon.

The briefing also addresses the administration’s strategy for stabilizing global energy markets amid the conflict. Officials explain steps taken to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, including coordination with industry leaders, temporary sanctions adjustments, and potential naval protections for oil tankers if necessary. The administration maintains that any recent increases in fuel prices are expected to be temporary as operations continue.

Domestic policy also takes center stage as officials call on Congress to pass the Save America Act, a proposed package focused on election integrity measures, voter ID requirements, proof of citizenship for voter registration, limits on universal mail-in voting, protections for women’s sports, and restrictions on gender transition procedures for minors.

The press briefing concludes with questions on military timelines, potential boots on the ground, relations with Russia and other global actors, tax policy updates, and the administration’s ongoing efforts to address national security threats at home and abroad.
