The U.S. has launched major combat operations in Iran, targeting Iranian missiles and naval forces, President Trump announced. In a video on Truth Social, Trump described the strikes as a “noble mission” to protect U.S. security, warning that American casualties are possible. He said the goal is to eliminate immediate threats from Iran, destroy its missile capabilities, and prevent the country from obtaining nuclear weapons. Trump offered Iranian military forces safe passage if they surrender, while warning of “certain death” otherwise. The strikes, carried out alongside Israel, hit key military sites in Tehran and other cities, raising concerns about a wider regional conflict. The announcement follows failed nuclear talks, and Trump urged the Iranian people to act against their government once military pressure eases.
