In a video message, President Trump called for regime change and urged Iranians to take over their government. On Sunday, Trump confirmed reports that three U.S. service members had been killed, a toll that’s since risen to four. Trump said there would likely be more injuries and deaths ahead in an operation he said could last for weeks.

President Donald Trump: “For almost 50 years, these wicked extremists have been attacking the United States while chanting the slogan 'Death to America' or 'Death to Israel,' or both. They are the world’s number one state sponsor of terror. We are the world’s greatest and most powerful nation, so we can do something about what they do.”

President Trump launched the attacks without congressional approval. They came shortly after Omani mediators hailed a “breakthrough” in indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran in Geneva, when Iran agreed to zero stockpiling of uranium as a guarantee that it would not pursue a nuclear weapon. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi condemned the U.S. for abandoning diplomacy.

Abbas Araghchi: “Contrary to Americans, that their record is very bad and very negative. You know, this is the second time that we negotiated with Americans and they decided to attack us right in the middle of negotiation.”
