‘How’s She Going to Sleep?’ Iran Responds to Karoline Leavitt’s Baby Reveal with a Message That Has Left People Speechless
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt celebrated a joyful milestone this month, announcing the birth of her daughter, Viviana, affectionately called “Vivi.” Sharing the happy news on social media, Leavitt wrote:
“On May 1st, Viviana joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love. She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister. We are enjoying every moment of our blissful newborn.”
But what was meant as a moment of private joy quickly drew an unexpected, shocking response.
Just days later, two Iranian embassies sent Leavitt starkly critical messages. The Iranian Embassy in Armenia wrote:
“Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.”
Similarly, the Iranian Embassy in South Africa added:
“When your child grows up and reads history, she will be ashamed that you served one of the most hated governments in history. Your hands are stained with the blood of many innocent children, like the children of Minab.”
These messages referenced the tragic bombing of Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Iran, on Feb. 28—an airstrike that killed over 150 children and school staff, reportedly due to outdated military intelligence.
Leavitt, during a March press briefing, responded cautiously, stating the U.S. was investigating the incident and emphasizing:
“The United States of America does not target civilians, unlike the rogue Iranian regime, which uses propaganda effectively.”
The social media reaction was intense. Many were shocked and questioned how anyone could read such messages and remain calm. One X user wrote:
“I don’t know how she’s going to sleep after reading this reply from Iran. Only the heartless can.”
Others suggested the messages were less about congratulations and more about intimidation. PatriotJosh commented:
“This isn’t a congratulatory message. It’s a mob-style intimidation tactic. The tone, timing, and wording all scream coercion and implied violence.”
The posts sparked debate, with some users dismissing them as veiled threats and others warning about the real-world implications of political messaging online.
