Leavitt: The U.S. takes only 4-6 weeks to militarily destroy Iran

White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavet has today indicated that the United States expects to achieve the targets of Operation “Epic Fury” against Iran within 4 to 6 weeks.

According to her, the main objectives of the operation are: The destruction of Iran's ballistic missile programme, the destruction of the Iranian Navy, the security that Iran could never create nuclear weapons, and the ban on Tehran's support for the army proxy groups in the region (such as Hezbollah and Houthis).

Leavitt said that in just six days, the US has sunk more than 30 Iranian Navy ships, making it “inefficient in fighting”.

She added that revenge ballistic attacks from Iran have dropped by 90%, while Hezbollah and Houthis “have hardly resisted” over this period.

For Iran's future, Leavitt stressed that “is in the best interest of the United States that Iran no longer be led by a radical terrorist regime”.

According to spokeswoman Leavet, US President Donald Trump is looking with interest to determine who Iran's future leader will be and is being discussed as a matter.

The military operation, launched in late February 2026, has involved thousands of air strikes and targeted blows to Iranian military infrastructure, with support from allies like Israel, broadcast RTSH.

Meanwhile, the conflict continues to escalate, with the evacuations of American citizens from the region and warnings of further consequences.
