New Delhi, March 3 -- In a video statement, U.S. President Donald Trump said that combat operations in Iran are continuing and would carry on until all of Washington's objectives are achieved.

Trump confirmed in a video posted on Truth Social that three U.S. service members had been killed and said there would likely be more casualties, vowing to avenge the deaths of Americans.

As the conflict entered its third day on Monday, Trump said 48 Iranian leaders had been killed and that the U.S. military had started sinking Iran's Navy, destroying nine Iranian warships so far and "going after the rest."
