Leavitt: U.S. Launched Operation Epic Fury because Iran Rejected ‘Path of Peace’
Operation Epic Fury strikes Iran, killing 49 leaders including Khamenei and thousands of targets, amid evacuations, officials said, citing years of attacks.
- On March 4, 2026, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury, targeting Iran's military sites and hitting more than 2,000 targets.
- Leavitt said months of negotiations failed, and Iran rejected offers of sanctions and nuclear fuel, leading to military action after diplomatic efforts were exhausted.
- Leavitt said the operation aims to end attacks and defeat terrorists; six U.S. service members, including four in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, were killed, according to reports.
- Leavitt urged U.S. citizens in the Middle East to register with the State Department, as Rubio shared transport options, while critics in Congress questioned the operation's scope.
- The president is actively considering post-conflict roles, Leavitt said, and did not rule out ground troops as the administration aims to destroy Iran's defense industrial base and sever its pathway to nuclear weapons.
