The US-Israeli bombardment of Iran has killed 48 Iranian leaders, according to President Donald Trump, who also described the offensive as “very positive.”
“Nobody can believe the success we’re having, 48 leaders are gone in one shot. And it’s moving along rapidly,” Trump was quoted as saying in an interview by Fox News.
Trump claimed overall success in the war, which was launched Saturday with the goal of removing the Islamic republic’s leadership and destroying its military. Iran has confirmed the death of its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“We’re doing our job not just for us but for the world. And everything is ahead of schedule,” Trump was quoted as saying in a separate interview with CNBC.
“Things are evolving in a very positive way right now, a very positive way,” he said.
The interviews were place prior to the US military announcing its first wartime casualties: three unnamed service personnel dead, five critically wounded, and numerous others with minor wounds.
Additionally, the United States sank an Iranian destroyer at a dock in the Gulf of Oman, according to Central Command (CENTCOM).
