Emotional Trump gives 2-word response to sad | Political News

President Donald Trump has responded to stories of two U.S. servicemembers being killed following an Iranian assault on an air base in Jordan, describing it as “very sad.”

Trump said the state of affairs is “a very sad thing,” and that “we hate to see it happen.” He including in a dialog with News Nation: “It’s in service to our nation…we’re never, they’re never going to permit Iran to have a nuclear weapon.”

The U.S. Central Command confirmed the deaths today and said one servicemember was lacking along with the 2 who had been lifeless. Several others had been also injured during the assault as the conflict between U.S. and Iran continues to rage on. Four servicemembers had been medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan and have since been discharged, according to CENTCOM. The company also said the U.S. launched a recent assault of strikes on Iran for endangering Americans and focusing on the nation’s transport capabilities in the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump also said he “couldn’t care less” about Iran’s announcement, in which the nation said it could not observe the MOU signed with the U.S. a few weeks in the past, an settlement that was largely seen as a de-escalation of assaults between the international locations before firing started again.

Some other people who suffered minor accidents during the assaults have returned to responsibility, CENTCOM said.

Since the conflict first started in February, 16 U.S. servicemembers have died and over 430 have been injured.

House Speaker Mike Johnson reacted to the development on X and wrote, “Praying for the loved ones of these brave fallen American heroes, for the swift recovery of those injured, and for the safe return of the missing service member. May God bless our brave men and women in uniform.”

New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen said “the President must negotiate an end to this disastrous conflict.”

The assault befell at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, which has been used by U.S. warplanes for its operations against Iran. The base has been repeatedly attacked by Iran utilizing ballistic missiles and drones. Earlier this week, another assault on the bottom left some servicemembers with minor accidents, according to officers.

Iran’s supreme chief Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen since the start of the conflict, but warned in a assertion that the U.S. would undergo “unforgettable lessons” if it continued to strike Iran.
