US President Donald Trump is warning that combat operations in Iran are continuing and will carry on until all of Washington’s objectives are achieved.Trump confirmed in a video posted on Truth Social that three US service members had been killed and said there would likely be more casualties, vowing to avenge the deaths of Americans.
“Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives,” Trump said.
It came as Israel launched a new wave of strikes on Tehran and Iran responded with more missile barrages, a day after the killing of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei pitched the Middle East and the global economy into deepening uncertainty.Trump said the attack was intended to ensure Iran could not have a nuclear weapon, to contain its missile programme and to eliminate threats to the United States and its allies. The US has hit more than 1,000 Iranian targets since the start of the campaign, US Central Command said.
