The President of the United States, Donald Trump, said that U.S. combat operations continue "with full force" at this moment, and predicted there will be more American casualties in the coming days. "Unfortunately, there will probably be more before it's over," he said about the possibility of more American casualties, adding that "that's just the way it is." Trump reiterated his call for members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to "lay down their arms" in exchange for "total immunity." Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, told ABC News on Sunday that no leader of any country has the right to tell Iran not to respond to the continuous massive airstrikes launched by the United States and Israel against Iran, pointing out that his country has every right to defend itself and that its air force "is capable enough to defend our country." The United States and Israel launched large-scale airstrikes against Iran on Saturday morning, which led Tehran to retaliate with waves of missile and drone attacks against Israel and military bases in the Gulf region. Earlier on Sunday, Trump told Fox News that 48 high-ranking Iranian officials have been killed in the attacks on Iran. "Combat operations are continuing at full force right now and will continue until all of our objectives are met. We have very firm objectives," Trump said in a six-minute video message posted on Truth Social, without specifying what those objectives are. Iran confirmed on Sunday that its supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes the day before.
