Trump: Iran's entire military leadership has been eliminated

US President Donald Trump has declared that US combat operations in Iran will continue until Washington achieves all its objectives.

In a video posted on the social network Truth Social, he confirmed that three American soldiers had been killed and warned that there would likely be more casualties. At the same time, he promised that the US would avenge the deaths of the Americans.

Trump called on Iran's Revolutionary Guards, army, and police to lay down their arms and accept immunity, otherwise they would face "certain death," he said. He said that the Iranian regime, armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons, poses a serious threat to every American.

The president claims that US forces have struck hundreds of targets, including Revolutionary Guard facilities, air defense systems, nine ships, and one naval building. According to him, "the entire military command has been eliminated" and many want to surrender.

He also addressed the Iranian people directly, saying, "America stands with you," and urging them to "seize this moment and take back your country."
