71 killed in Israeli attack on Iran prison, official says

As oil prices rise after the United States launched a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, President Donald Trump is demanding that oil prices remain steady and calling on his Department of Energy to increase domestic drilling.

"EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I'M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON'T DO IT!" Trump said in a post on Monday.

"To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!" he wrote in another post.

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright responded to Trump on X: "We're on it!"

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told ABC News on Monday the U.S. military posture has not changed, suggesting the decision should be up to the Iranian people to "rise up against this brutal terrorist regime" if they do not engage in diplomacy moving forward.

In a separate Fox News interview, Leavitt said the president "believes the Iranian people can control their destiny."

This comes after President Donald Trump appeared to float the idea that there should be a change in leadership in Iran in a social media post on Sunday.

"It's not politically correct to use the term, 'Regime Change,' but if the current Iranian Regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn't there be a Regime change???," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Sunday night.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told "Good Morning America" on Monday that the administration is confident that its weekend airstrikes "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities.

Leavitt spoke to "Good Morning America" amid questions about the extent of the damage done at the Fordo site in particular, which is built hundreds of feet under a mountain to the south of Tehran. It was one of three facilities attacked by U.S. bombers and cruise missiles on Saturday.

Questions have also been raised about the fate of enriched uranium processed at the site, which could potentially be used to create a nuclear weapon -- depending on its level of enrichment -- if it was removed from Fordo or other sites before the U.S. strike.

"We have a high degree of confidence that where those strikes took place is where Iran's enriched uranium was stored," Leavitt said on Monday.

"The president wouldn't have launched the strikes if we weren't confident in that," Leavitt said.

"They no longer have the capability to build this nuclear weapon and threaten the world," she added of Iran.
