CLEAR MESSAGE FROM U.S. PRESIDENT TRUMP

"WE ARE CAUSING THEM GREAT DAMAGE"
Trump, who said, "We are causing them great damage. We are inflicting serious damage," expressed that it is only a matter of time before they reach their targets in Iran.
"I know a lot, and I will definitely understand this when we reach the target. We are very close. We are causing great damage, we are seriously pushing them back," he said.
WHO HAS CONTROL IN IRAN?
The President pointed out that the operations are progressing "ahead of schedule," highlighting the damage done regarding nuclear weapons and missiles. When asked who currently has control in Iran, Trump replied to NewsNation, "You will learn this very soon."
"THIS IS THE NATURE OF WAR, WHETHER PEOPLE LIKE IT OR NOT"
When asked if he was concerned about possible attacks within the U.S. or against American targets, Trump said, "No, this is part of war. This is the nature of war, whether people like it or not."
IRAN INCREASING ATTACKS
As conflicts widen across the Middle East, Iran is also increasing its attacks; conducting missile strikes and involving militia forces in the conflict. Israeli and U.S. forces are carrying out attacks on targets within the borders of the Islamic Republic.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also stated on Monday that the operations carried out by the U.S. and Israel against Iran over the weekend were a response to Iran's targeting of the U.S. military and American interests worldwide for years.
