President Donald Trump said he will “avenge” the deaths of three U.S. service members

 Trump vows to ‘avenge’ the deaths of U.S. service members, says combat operations continue.

President Donald Trump said he will “avenge” the deaths of three U.S. service members and said the combat operations in Iran that began Saturday will continue. Trump spoke in a pre-recorded Truth Social post Sunday afternoon.

The president’s comments come as Iran’s retaliation is intensifying after U.S.-Israeli strikes killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, triggering one of the most consequential moments for the Islamic Republic since 1979. The massive attack was launched on Iran overnight Saturday, after Iran refused American demands that it reduce its nuclear program.
