Donald Trump has said that the United States’ military action against Iran was carried out in the interest of global security and stability in the Middle East.
He described the operation as a significant success and praised the performance of the U.S. armed forces during the conflict.
Trump said the United States had “done a favor to the world” by launching strikes against Iran, adding that the operation was also a service to the Middle East region.
He commended American troops for their role in the campaign and rated the military’s performance as “15 out of 10,” mentioning what he described as exceptional execution of the mission.
The death toll from the attacks has exceeded 1,330. In addition, among those reported killed were senior Iranian figures, including the country’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with the army chief, the defense minister, the national security adviser, and the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a key branch of Iran’s military establishment.
Trump further claimed that the U.S. strikes had inflicted significant damage on Iran’s military capabilities.
He said that American forces destroyed 42 Iranian naval vessels and severely disrupted the country’s air force and communication systems during the operations.
The US president also stated that Iranian facilities connected to its nuclear program were among the targets of previous attacks.
Trump said the strikes had delivered a decisive blow to Iran’s military strength. He maintained that the operation demonstrated the capability and readiness of U.S. forces in addressing security threats.
Trump also announced plans to visit Dover Air Force Base in the coming days. The visit will be held to honor six American service members who were killed during the conflict.
