US President Donald Trump has given updates on the ongoing military operation in Iran during interviews with several US media outlets.
Speaking to Fox News, Trump said that “48 [Iranian] leaders are gone in one shot” and described the operation as “moving along rapidly.”
In a separate interview with CNBC, he said the US campaign was progressing “very well — ahead of schedule” and added, “We’re doing our job not just for us but for the world.”
During an interview with MS NOW, Trump said he had witnessed celebrations among the Iranian diaspora in the US following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, particularly in Los Angeles. “I think it’s fantastic,” he commented.
In a conversation with The Atlantic, Trump stated that current Iranian leaders had indicated a willingness to resume negotiations that were abandoned late last week. “They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them,” he said, adding that Tehran should have acted sooner on what he described as practical and straightforward measures.
