Speaking in a video posted on Truth Social, Trump described the Iranian government as a “vicious group of very hard, terrible people” and said the U.S. objective is to defend Americans by eliminating imminent threats posed by the regime.
Trump called the operation “massive” and warned that it could result in American casualties. He said the campaign targets Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, intelligence networks, government facilities, and defense sites, and stressed that the U.S. action is intended to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. He urged Iranians to take control of their government once the operation concludes, describing the effort as a “noble mission” and a rare opportunity for citizens to shape their future. Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers have begun pressing for briefings on the situation, with Rep. Jared Moskowitz requesting updates from the State Department and Department of War, and Sen. Ruben Gallego warning against putting young Americans at risk in what he called a war that has not been fully explained.
