【U.S. Military Casualties, Major Events! Trump Forced to Respond, Delivers Second National Television Speech】The U.S. military has officially announced casualties in the war for the first time: 3 unidentified U.S. soldiers killed, 5 seriously injured, and several others slightly injured. Will this become a turning point in the war?
Unlike last year's U.S. terrorist attack on Iran and the capture of Maduro with zero casualties, Trump must now respond. He delivered a second television speech, with the following highlights:
"As a nation, we mourn those who gave their lives, true American patriots, and we will continue the just mission for which they sacrificed. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and express our deep love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. Regrettably, there may be more sacrifices before the fighting ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more. America will avenge the Americans who died!"
"Our resolve, as well as Israel's resolve, has never been stronger!" This was the first time he mentioned Israel in his television speech.
"This is one of the largest, most complex, and most overwhelming military operations in human history. We attacked hundreds of targets inside Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities and Iran's air defense systems. Just now, we announced that within a few minutes, we destroyed nine ships and their naval base. The entire military command has collapsed, and many are trying to save their lives and want to surrender. Thousands are calling for help."
"Current combat operations are still being carried out at full force and will continue until all our objectives are achieved!"
"We launched this large-scale operation not only to ensure the safety of our era but also to ensure the safety of future generations!"
"These actions are correct and necessary to ensure that the American people will never have to face a country that possesses nuclear weapons and numerous threats. I once again urge the Revolutionary Guard, the Iranian army, and police to lay down their arms and accept full immunity, or else they will die. This will be an inevitable death, with no good end!"
"Last night, when news of his (Khamenei) death spread, people could be heard celebrating in the streets across Iran. Be brave, be bold, show heroism! Take back your country. The United States is with you. I have made a promise to you, and I have fulfilled my promise. What remains is up to you! But we will be there to help (The rest will be up to you, but we’ll be there to help)!"
"Thank you. May God bless you, bless our extraordinary warriors, and may God bless the United States of America.
