'FINISH THE JOB': Former Vice President Mike Pence is praising the success of Operation Epic Fury, calling the military action a "brilliant campaign" and giving President Trump "all the credit in the world." "We've got to finish the job."

HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER @SteveScalise warns that the current Iranian regime's actions prove exactly why they must never obtain a nuclear weapon. "President Trump's the only president who's done what, frankly, probably the last five presidents before him have heavily contemplated: how do you stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon?" "President Trump did it and the whole world's a safer place." @SteveDoocy

GOP ROOTS: House Majority Leader @SteveScalise was campaigning before he could even drive. As a kid in New Orleans, Scalise would deck out his bike in red, white, and blue, pedaling through the streets to drum up support for the Republican Party.

"If everybody hated me, why is everybody putting my face on their mailers for the referendum?" Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger gives an eyebrow-raising response after being asked about her unfavorable poll numbers.

NATO NEGLECT: Michael Allen, Fmr Sr Dir for National Security Council during the George W. Bush Administration, warns that Europe’s refusal to stand with the U.S. will trigger "negative repercussions" for the long-standing alliance. "Europe has played games with us like this through the past... I think this is going to have negative repercussions. They need to make it up to us by continuing to invest in their defense industrial base so that they can actually play a role in future contingencies. That's the other part of this... they don't have a lot of capability." "We shouldn't kid ourselves about how helpful they were going to be in the first place."

IN CUSTODY: A Michigan man is in custody after his wife, Lynette, vanished from their dinghy in what he claims was a tragic accident in the Bahamas. The U.S. Coast Guard has officially opened a criminal probe into the disappearance, as family members of the missing Michigan woman voice fears of foul play. The husband's lawyer released a statement saying he "categorically and unequivocally denies any wrongdoing."

MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN: A 10-point Iranian peace proposal released yesterday was reportedly an old plan and part of an Iranian misinformation campaign in an effort to put their perspective forward and get people talking about it.

"This is not necessarily the end of Operation Epic Fury, it's a chance at an off-ramp." Reports indicate Iran is already backtracking on commitments made to U.S. negotiators to pause the conflict.

UPDATE: Karoline Leavitt says Iran's initial ten point plan was "fundamentally unserious, unacceptable and completely discarded." "It was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team." "The idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wish list as a deal is completely absurd."

Iran’s Proposed Peace Plan 1. Non-Aggression: The U.S. must fundamentally commit to guaranteeing non-aggression. 2. Maritime Control: Continuation of Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz. 3. Nuclear Program: Acceptance that Iran can enrich uranium for its nuclear program. 4. Primary Sanctions: Removal of all primary sanctions on Iran. 5. Secondary Sanctions: Removal of all secondary sanctions against foreign entities that do business with Iranian institutions. 6. UN Resolutions: End of all United Nations Security Council resolutions targeting Iran. 7. IAEA Oversight: End of all International Atomic Energy Agency resolutions on Iran’s nuclear program. 8. Reparations: Compensation payment to Iran for war damage. 9. U.S. Withdrawal: Withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the region. 10. Cease-fire: Cease-fire on all fronts, including Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon. @TreyYingst

"Their performance is fueled by a deep commitment to each other, their mission, and to our country." Gen. Dan Caine and @SecWar Pete Hegseth are honoring the "guts" of the joint force that carried out the 38-day campaign.

'AMERICA HAS WON DECISIVELY': War Sec. @PeteHegseth and Gen. Dan Caine have officially declared a decisive victory following the 38-day campaign of Operation Epic Fury. With the Iranian regime’s military capabilities neutralized and a ceasefire in effect, commanders are praising the "overwhelming force" and "sheer guts" of the American warfighter.

FUELING THE FIGHT: The U.S. military "devastated" the Iranian regime — but not without the help of millions of meals, hundreds of thousands of gallons of coffee, millions of energy drinks, and A LOT of nicotine, Gen. Dan Caine says.

'SO NASTY': War Sec. @petehegseth abruptly shuts down a shouting reporter during a Pentagon briefing. "Excuse me. Why are you so rude? Just wait. I'm calling on people."

GEN. DAN CAINE: "This was and is a joint force that has the guts to try, that does not quit, and who each and every day does the things that we must to dare to win." "I stand here humbled today, but frankly not surprised, by what the joint force has been able to do." "Their performance is fueled by a deep commitment to each other, their mission, and to our country. It is an incredible, deep honor for me to be a part of this joint force."

SYSTEMATICALLY ELIMINATED: War Sec. Pete Hegseth details the total destruction of the Iranian regime’s hierarchy, warning the new leadership to look closely at the fate of their predecessors. "The previous Iranian supreme leader, dead. The Supreme National Security Council secretary, dead. The Supreme Leader office advisor, dead. The supreme leader Military office chief, dead. "The defense minister, no longer with us. The IRGC commander, dead. The armed forces General staff commander, dead. The intelligence minister, dead. The IRGC Navy commander no longer here. The IRGC Intel chief, dead." "I could go on and on and on. To include the new so-called new Supreme Leader, wounded and disfigured."

WAR SEC. PETE HEGSETH: "This morning, a big day for world peace." "In less than 40 days, one of our combatant commands, central commands, Centcom, using less than 10% of America's total combat power, dismantled one of the world's largest militaries." "The world's leading state sponsor of terrorism proved utterly incapable of defending itself, its people, or its territory. We untied just a fraction of our strength, and Iran suffered a devastating military defeat."

'EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY': President Trump says any country that supplies military weapons to Iran will be "immediately tariffed on any and all goods sold" to the U.S.

"I've seen him choke out one of his daughters before and he had to go to court for that. I was only in third grade." The daughter of a Michigan woman who went missing after "falling overboard" in the Bahamas suspects foul play, noting her stepfather's own daughter also doubts his story.

"It just doesn't add up." The daughter of a missing American woman is sounding the alarm after her mother "fell overboard" during a vacation with her stepfather. She claims a history of domestic violence and direct threats preceded the disappearance. "There's history of him choking her out and threatening to throw her overboard. So the fact that this is actually happening makes me believe there is more to the story."

FREEDOM FOR FREELANCER: American journalist Shelly Kittleson is free after a week-long abduction by an Iran-backed militia in Iraq. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Kittleson is safe after being snatched from a Baghdad street.
