President Donald Trump on Saturday sounded a confident note about the U.S.-Israeli barrage of airstrikes against the Iranian regime in a phone call with the Washington Free Beacon.
Trump said he was feeling "fine" after the opening round of attacks on the regime and told the Free Beacon that the operation against the Islamic Republic was "going very well." The conversation marked his first reported statement on the status of the ongoing "Operation Epic Fury" since his remarks soon after the United States and Israel launched a sweeping aerial campaign aimed at toppling the hardline regime and destroying its military capabilities.

The early primary state is one of the first stops on Newsom's book tour for Young Man in a Hurry, his recently published "memoir of discovery."
