Iran has been fighting against civilization, President Donald Trump said Sunday, armed with nuclear weapons and lots of threats.
In a video post on the Truth Social social media site, the president thanked US military members who are risking their lives -- with three said to have died in the Iran effort -- and will continue to do so.
Mr. Trump also expressed encouragement for the families of those in the military, saying "we're doing our best" to be safe in this conflict.
And he noted that, in addition to the death of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini, "the entire Iranian military command is gone and many of them left want to surrender into saving their lives, they want immunity."
"We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen and there will likely be more."
