The Trump administration offered shifting justifications for military strikes against Iran, with messaging focused variously on preempting attacks, preventing nuclear weapons development, and regime change, though independent polling showed 56% of Americans opposed the action. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was removed from her position after poor congressional testimony, reportedly over a $220 million DHS ad campaign she claimed Trump approved, with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin tapped as her replacement.
