White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will deliver a press briefing this morning as the war in Iran escalates further.
US forces completed a twelfth consecutive night of attacks on Iranian military sites on Wednesday night.
In footage released by CENTCOM, Iranian military vehicles and boats are seen being blown up in airstrikes.
WATCH:
Meanwhile, the conflict is widening across the region with the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group targeting shipping in the Red Sea on Wednesday after imposing a naval blockade on the Bab el-Mandeb strait, the gateway between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden near Saudi Arabia’s western coastline.
President Trump on Wednesday issued new warnings against Iran, threatening to hit one power plant or bridge for every ship they hit in the Strait of Hormuz after Iran attacked another tanker near the coast of Oman on Tuesday.
Ahead of the briefing, Leavitt previewed today’s White House schedule on X:
