Live updates: Leavitt briefs reporters amid Iran attacks; Hegseth promises ‘more and larger’ strikes

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt held a briefing on Wednesday to update reporters on the recent developments in the ongoing conflict with Iran.

The briefing concluded with a reminder that the US will not back down in the face of threats and aggression from Iran. The safety and security of our nation and its people are of utmost importance and the administration will take all necessary measures to protect them.

The recent strikes on Iran serve as a clear message to the world that the US will not tolerate any actions that threaten our national security. We will continue to defend ourselves and our allies against any and all threats.
