During the press briefing on Wednesday, a reporter from The Independent questioned the administration about the lack of specific information regarding the imminent threat that led to the launch of Operation Epic Fury.
The press secretary responded by stating that she would provide an explanation of the factors that influenced the president’s decision, which seemed to be primarily based on his instincts.
She highlighted Iran’s status as the primary state sponsor of terrorism, its aggressive missile program, and its alleged intentions of causing harm. The decision to initiate Operation Epic Fury was justified by the perceived imminent threat posed by Iran to the United States.
Despite the emphasis on factual evidence, the press secretary’s reliance on the president’s feelings drew attention from social media users, particularly in light of the popular phrase “facts don’t care about your feelings.”
