Trump Presses on With Iran Strikes as Focus Shifts to Path Ahead

President Donald Trump looked to rally support for his military operation in Iran in a new social media video on Sunday, casting the effort that killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as a mission “not merely to ensure security for our own time and place, but for our children and their children.”

Arguing the bombing campaign was the duty of the “strongest military the world has ever seen,” Trump in a social media video reiterated his calls for Iranian officials to lay down their arms, while conceding that more American troops would likely perish in a conflict that has engulfed much of the Middle East.
