United States (US) President Donald Trump has told Americans to prepare for the likelihood of further military casualties as US-led operations against Iran continue.

Trump’s remarks came after confirmation that three US service members were killed and several others wounded during deployment-related operations in an undisclosed location linked to the ongoing military campaign. The deaths have been described by US authorities as part of active combat operations involving American forces.

Speaking publicly, Trump paid tribute to the fallen soldiers, describing them as “true patriots” and extending condolences to their families. However, he cautioned that more losses could occur as military engagements intensify.

The US administration has defended the strikes as part of broader efforts to counter security threats linked to Tehran’s military capabilities and regional activities. The escalation has raised international concern about the possibility of wider conflict in the Middle East.

Global leaders and diplomatic observers have continued to call for restraint, warning that prolonged fighting could have significant humanitarian and geopolitical consequences across the region.

Meanwhile, debate continues within the US about the scope and duration of the military campaign, with some political voices urging a return to diplomatic negotiations to reduce tensions.
