President Trump said the deaths of two American service members are unfortunate but that the ongoing military operation against Iran remains necessary, warning that the region could descend into a wider conflict if Tehran is not stopped. Trump made the remarks in an interview with the New York Post.
President Trump's comments to the New York Post come amid an ongoing US military campaign against Iran. The campaign was triggered by an Iranian drone and missile attack last week that killed two American service members at a base in Jordan, as The Zioneer reported. Trump acknowledged the casualties as 'unfortunate' but stressed that the operation is necessary to prevent a wider conflict. Separately, earlier today at 09:24 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Iranian parliamentary security committee chairman Ebrahim Azizi warned that American soldiers would flee if they understood Supreme Leader Khamenei's references to 'unforgettable lessons.' The exchange of statements underscores the heightening rhetoric between Washington and Tehran as the operation continues. No official confirmation has been provided regarding the scope of the current US operation or its timeline.
