Trump Responds to American Casualties in Iran, Predicts More

President Donald Trump is promising to avenge the deaths of those lost in Operation Epic Fury.

U.S. Central Command reported three fatalities in the first 24 hours after the strike on Iran.

The United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran in what Trump characterized as the beginning of "major combat operations" early Saturday morning.

"As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation," Trump said in a video address Sunday night. "Even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives, we pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen."
