Appearing with Fox News personality Laura Ingraham, the high-ranking Trump advisor insisted, “The United States has achieved its objectives even faster than anybody thought possible,” before adding, “President Trump was aware of and has calculated through every permutation and every degree of strategy ... by far the most overwhelming victory based on the objectives.”

Stephen Miller's awkward Iran victory lap on Fox News draws brutal mockery

One of President Donald Trump's top aides was brutally mocked on Wednesday after he seemed to be "having a hard time" during an interview on Fox News.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller joined Fox News host Laura Ingraham on her show, "The Ingraham Angle," to discuss the ongoing war in Iran and U.S. efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to its trade ships.

'No they weren't': Resigned Trump intel official admits Iran wasn't close to having nukes

A top Trump administration official who resigned in protest over President Donald Trump’s decision to wage war on Iran delivered a startling admission Wednesday that undercuts the U.S.'s vital justification to launch strikes.

Trump has repeatedly insisted that Iran posed an "imminent threat" to the United States and its allies, using that justification to launch coordinated strikes with Israel in late February. The administration has claimed the bombing campaign "completely obliterated" Iran's nuclear capabilities, a claim his own intelligence officials struggled to support under congressional questioning.

'What?' Nicolle Wallace blasts Tulsi Gabbard over curious edit to her own prepared remarks

MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace blasted a member of President Donald Trump's administration for her "shapeshifting" comments about the war in Iran on Wednesday.

The Trump administration has often claimed that its decision to bomb Iran in coordination with Israel last month was made because Iran's nuclear program posed an "imminent threat" to the United States. That explanation stands in stark contrast to Trump's claim that another bombing campaign the U.S. conducted in Iran last year had "completely obliterated" the country's nuclear capabilities.
