In his message, Trump referred to "Operation Epic Fury," calling it the most complex and comprehensive military operation ever conducted. He claimed that during the strike, Iranian Revolutionary Guard facilities and air defense systems were targeted, and that nine ships and naval infrastructure were destroyed within minutes.
The President also acknowledged that US forces have suffered losses in this conflict. He said three American soldiers were killed and five injured in recent attacks. Trump stated that war requires sacrifice, but the US is committed to responding to the deaths of its soldiers.
There have been reports of retaliatory attacks from Iran, raising security concerns in Gulf countries. The international community is closely monitoring this escalating conflict. Analysts believe that if diplomatic efforts are not made soon, this conflict could lead to widespread instability throughout the region.
Trump has appealed to Iranian soldiers to surrender and to civilians to "show courage." However, the situation remains extremely sensitive. The world is now watching to see whether tensions will ease in the coming weeks or whether war will escalate.
