The war in Iran is not slowing down.
U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that American combat operations in Iran are ongoing and will continue until all U.S. objectives are achieved.
In a video posted on Truth Social, Trump confirmed that three U.S. service members had been killed. He warned that more casualties are possible as fighting continues. “Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our objectives are achieved,” he said.
The president did not give details about specific targets or timelines. However, his comments signal that Washington is preparing for a sustained military campaign. The conflict has already raised fears of a wider regional war.
U.S. forces are actively engaged, following recent joint U.S.-Israeli strikes linked to escalating tensions with Tehran. The fighting comes amid growing instability in the Middle East, with concerns that attacks could spread beyond Iran’s borders.
Global markets are reacting sharply. Oil prices have risen as investors worry about possible disruptions to energy supplies, especially if tensions affect shipping routes near the Strait of Hormuz. That narrow waterway is a key route for global oil exports.
Trump also vowed to avenge the deaths of the American troops. His remarks suggest that further military action could follow if U.S. forces come under additional attack.
So far, Iranian officials have not fully detailed their response to the latest U.S. comments. In past statements, Tehran has warned that it would defend itself against foreign military operations.
As the situation develops, diplomats and analysts are watching closely. Any prolonged fighting could reshape alliances in the region and put pressure on global energy markets.
For now, the message from Washington is clear: the campaign is not over.
