Trump Confirms Military Operation in Iran to Protect Americans from Immediate Threats

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed in a video published on social media that the United States has begun a military operation in Iran.

In an approximately eight-minute clip shared on social media, U.S. leader Donald Trump stated that the purpose of this operation is to protect American citizens by eliminating an imminent threat from the Iranian regime, which he described as extremely brutal and dangerous. This also confirmed that the U.S. is acting alongside Israel in the attack on Iran.

Trump added that Iran’s threatening activities pose a direct danger to the United States, its military forces, overseas bases, and allies worldwide.

The president also referenced the longstanding tension, saying that for 47 years the Iranian regime has shouted 'Death to America' and waged relentless bloody campaigns and massacres targeting the U.S., U.S. military personnel, and innocent civilians in multiple countries.

Recent reports indicate that President Donald Trump will spend the weekend at his private club in Palm Beach, Florida, amid ongoing U.S. and Israeli military operations against Iran.

However, no further details have been released regarding the scope of the military operation or Iran’s response. The situation in the Middle East remains tense and is under close international scrutiny.
