Donald Trump and his administration have celebrated the killing and devastation of Iran's war against Iran, with the president and his staff celebrating the deaths and devastation caused by the war. Over 1,300 Iranians have been killed and more than 3,000 people have died in the region, including over 3 million Iranians. Thirteen American service members have been wounded and 13 American service personnel have been dead. The administration has also been criticized for its lack of concern about American casualties and for its celebration of the war, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggesting the killing of wounded and surrendered enemy forces is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. The Pentagon and White House are creating official propaganda reels depicting the war as a video game or a Hollywood action movie.
