Trump says there will ‘likely be more’ American deaths in Iran before conflict ends

President Trump acknowledged during a Sunday briefing that the U.S. operation against Iran is ongoing and that it is “likely” more American service members will die as the conflict continues. He stated the situation remains dangerous and emphasized the seriousness of U.S. military involvement.

The remarks came as U.S. Central Command reported ongoing operations in Iran, with higher-than-expected risks to personnel amid the confrontation. Officials cautioned that casualties could rise as strikes and counterstrikes unfold in the region.

The president urged restraint and underscored the need for clear objectives and accountability in the military campaign, while privately grappling with how to frame votes and political consequences at home amid escalating tensions.
