Trump Emphasizes Retaliation for US Troop Deaths While Keeping Dialogue Open, Donald Trump, upon arriving at the White House on the 1st (local time), waves to reporters. (Yonhap News),
, ‘President Donald Trump stated that ongoing military operations against Iran will continue comprehensively until all objectives are achieved. While a month-long military operation against Iran is anticipated, Iran has vowed retaliatory attacks. As Trump has mentioned continued operations, it is expected that the conflict between the U.S./Israel and Iran will persist for some time.’,
,
, ‘In a six-minute video posted on Truth Social, Trump stated, “We have targeted hundreds of sites within Iran, including facilities of the Revolutionary Guards and Iran’s air defense systems. Just moments ago, we disabled nine naval ships and naval construction facilities in mere minutes.” ‘,
,
, ‘Trump disclosed the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating, “The entire military leadership has collapsed, and many among them are willing to surrender to preserve their lives.” ‘,
,
, ‘Trump mentioned three U.S. troops who sacrificed their lives during the operation, calling them “true patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.” He added, “There may be additional casualties. Until the situation is concluded, that is possible,” emphasizing America’s determination to avenge their deaths and retaliate powerfully against terrorists who have declared war on civilization. Trump’s remarks suggest further attacks on Iran are inevitable following American casualties.’,
,
, ‘Trump urged the Iranian people to take action towards regime change, saying, “To all Iranian patriots longing for freedom, seize this moment and act bravely to reclaim your country.” He assured them, “America is with you. I promised you this, and I have kept that promise. The rest is up to you, but we will help.” He also directed a message to Iran’s military and police: “Lay down your weapons and receive full immunity, or face certain death.” This strategy seems intended to incite an uprising among Iranian citizens, compelling the collapse of the current regime.’,
,
, ‘In multiple media interviews, Trump emphasized the achievements of the military operations, including removing Iranian leadership figures and destroying military facilities.’,
,
, ‘In a phone interview with The New York Times, Trump was asked about the potential duration of the attacks on Iran. He stated, “We’ve planned for four to five weeks,” adding, “That won’t be difficult. We have an immense stockpile of ammunition.” Although he mentioned “three very excellent candidates” who could lead Iran, he did not name them.’,
,
, ‘In an NBC phone interview, Trump suggested that the campaign against Iran could be either a short-term or long-term operation, indicating the possibility of a protracted conflict.’,
,
, ‘Nevertheless, dialogue between the U.S. and Iran might not be entirely off the table. Trump mentioned in an interview with the U.S. current affairs weekly Atlantic, “They (Iran) want dialogue, and I agreed to it. Hence, I will talk to them.” However, he added, “They should have done this sooner. Very practical and easy measures should have been taken earlier. They waited too long.”\n’
