On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's administration reversed course on Iranian threats to U.S. homeland security after being called out for contradictory messaging.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previously claimed ABC News provided false information about Iran's drone attack capabilities, posting "No such threat from Iran to our homeland exists, and it never did." However, the White House Rapid Response account subsequently clarified there was no drone threat to the West Coast while reaffirming the nuclear threat from Iran's regime.
The account used vulgar language attacking critics.
Leavitt then responded to former intelligence official Joe Kent's resignation letter, which cited Iran posing no imminent threat. Leavitt disputed Kent's claim, calling it a "false claim" repeated by Democrats and liberal media. The conflicting statements highlighted confusion within the administration over the severity and nature of threats justifying the ongoing Iran military operation.
