U.S. President Donald Trump spoke for the first time on Sunday about the casualties involving American soldiers in the ongoing conflict with Iran. According to ChainCatcher, three U.S. military personnel have lost their lives in the battle. Trump stated, "Unfortunately, this situation is possible. Casualties may occur repeatedly—it could happen again." He acknowledged that these incidents mark the first casualties of his second term.
Additionally, Trump commented on the timeline of the Iran conflict, stating, "We expect it to last about four weeks. It's a large country, so the time required is approximately four weeks—or possibly shorter." He mentioned that the outcomes of the attacks so far have not surprised him.
