Trump Speech: "Full-Range Operation" in Iran, No Clear Timeline
US President Donald Trump, in a late-night speech (11:00 PM WIB), stated that military operations against Iran would continue until all US objectives were achieved. He emphasized that the attack campaign was still ongoing "at full force" and gave no specific timeframe, describing it as a very large-scale operation.
Trump claimed that the US and its partners had launched Operation "Epic Fury" and struck hundreds of targets, including Revolutionary Guard facilities and air defense systems. He also said the US had crippled several Iranian naval assets in a short time.
In his speech, Trump reiterated the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stating that Iran's military command structure had suffered a severe blow. He also noted that many in Iran were said to be seeking surrender and were seeking guarantees of safety.
Trump also delivered the sad news that three US military personnel had been killed in the operation, and he warned that additional casualties were possible. He stated that the US would avenge the deaths and continue the mission, while offering condolences to the families of the victims and prayers for the injured.
Trump emphasized that the primary reason for the operation was to prevent Iran from acquiring long-range missiles and nuclear weapons, which he said would pose a serious threat. He described the campaign as a measure for long-term security, not just for the immediate situation.
At the end of his speech, Trump called on Iran's security forces—including the Revolutionary Guard and military police—to lay down their weapons and urged Iranians seeking change to seize the moment. He concluded by reaffirming support for allies and praising the role of the US military.
