WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held a highly charged press briefing addressing the escalating US-Iran war and the administration’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure a Middle East ceasefire. Speaking from the White House podium, Leavitt vehemently denied reports of a rift between President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over depleted U.S. missile stockpiles, calling the rumors ‘100% fake news’ that ‘literally never happened’ while affirming Trump’s ‘utmost confidence’ in Hegseth. The briefing comes amid critical developments in Operation Midnight Hammer, following 12 consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes against Iranian military installations and a tightening maritime blockade by CENTCOM in the Strait of Hormuz. While President Trump has signaled a potential breakthrough in negotiations mediated by Oman and Pakistan, tensions remain high as questions persist over U.S. THAAD and Patriot interceptor inventories. Leavitt outlined the administration’s framework for a durable peace agreement, backed by requests from Gulf allies Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, while reiterating that the United States remains prepared to defend its strategic interests and global shipping lanes against any hostile Iranian actions.
