According to him, the situation is developing as planned, and the U.S. has "destroyed all" of Iran's leadership, specifying that this refers to 48 key figures.
Although Trump expressed a willingness to negotiate with Iran, he noted that he does not know when they might take place: "They want discussions, but I said, 'You should have talked last week, not now,'" he added.
Address to the Nation
On March 1, Trump once again addressed the American people, promising to "take revenge" for the deaths of three American soldiers, issuing a new ultimatum to Iran, and urging the public to support his efforts for "freedom." This is already his second address to the citizens of the country in 48 hours, emphasizes the Daily Mail.Earlier that same day, in an interview with The Atlantic, he accused the Iranian authorities of "dragging it out for too long." He added that some of the Iranian negotiators with whom the U.S. had contact in recent weeks were killed as a result of American attacks. "They could have made a deal, but they didn't want to rush," Trump noted.
Military Actions Against Iran
On February 28, Israel and the United States conducted strikes on Tehran and other sites in Iran. Trump emphasized that his goal is to destroy the nuclear program of the Islamic Republic, calling on the Iranian army to lay down its arms and the country's population to "take their destiny into their own hands."In response, Iran attacked territories in Israel and other countries in the Middle East. The U.S. Central Command stated on February 28 that the damage to American facilities from Iranian strikes was "minimal and did not affect operations." However, on March 1, it was reported that three American servicemen were killed and five seriously injured as a result of these attacks.
On the second day of the Israeli-American operation, the Iranian side confirmed the death of the country's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking military officials, including Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh and the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Pakpour.
