President Donald Trump has said that the United States will keep its military operation against Iran going until its goals are reached, even though some American soldiers have already died.
At least three US service members have been confirmed killed during military action connected to the conflict with Iran, and five others were seriously hurt, the US military said.
On Monday, it was announced that a fourth US service member died from injuries sustained in an Iranian attack.
In a video message posted on his social media platform, recorded at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump said the deaths were a sacrifice for the country. He also warned that more American troops could die before the operation ends.
“As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives,” Trump said. “We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more.”
