The White House posted an explanation of their intentions of the Iran War with the background music of the famous comedy sitcom, The Office.
"Operation Epic Fury is not an endless war, it's a decisive campaign with clear objectives to destroy Iran's military, offensive military capabilities and ensure they never obtain a nuclear weapon," Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said after featuring fictional character Michael Scott, who asks from the show "Why don't you explain this to me like I am an eight year old?"
"Why don't you explain this to me, like I'm five?" Scott, played by Steve Carell asks again.
"No news, complete dismantling of their missile program and defense this defense," Hegseth responds. The video plays the Office theme song.
The X post from the White House comes before President Donald Trump's plan to address the nation at 9 p.m. EST and provide an update about the U.S and Israel led war against Iran.
What has happened in Iran?
The U.S. and Israel first struck Iran on Feb. 28 and killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
His son, 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei, was shortly declared the next and third supreme leader of the country.
According to the death toll tracker from Al Jazeera, over 1,900 have been killed in Iran from U.S and Israel-led strikes. Those strikes also killed over 1,200 in Lebanon and 106 in Iraq.
The tracker shows Iran-led strikes killed 27 in total in Gulf nations Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait.
Meanwhile, Iran-led strikes have killed four in Syria, 24 in Israel, and four in Palestine. Thirteen U.S. military personnel have been killed in Iran-led strikes.
Iran closed the significant waterway, the Strait of Hormuz, in the first week of March.
The closure of the essential passage along with the ongoing military conflict, has led to higher fuel costs worldwide.
In the U.S. airline JetBlue said it is increasing the first checked bag fee from $35 to $39 dollars on Monday as fuel prices increase during the U.S war against Iran.
On Tuesday, the president told the press that he expects the war against Iran to end in “two or three weeks.”
"We'll be leaving very soon," he told the press. Trump's plan to end the war would also mean Iran does not have to make a deal with the U.S. to end the war.
From the Oval Office, the president also shared that the goal was to remove nuclear weapons from Iran, not enact regime change.
“That goal has been attained. They do not have nuclear weapons," Trump said. “Regime change was not a goal."
