Donald Trump has warned that there will likely be more deaths due to the ongoing U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, codenamed "Operation Epic Fury," which began over the weekend. The announcement came in an update from the White House on YouTube, where Trump praised the sacrifice of three service members and pledged to avenge them. The U.K. Central Command confirmed that three service personnel were killed in action and five were seriously wounded. The identities of the dead service members will be withheld until 24 hours after their next-kin has been notified. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the US and Israel carried out a "broad strike in full synchronization and coordination" following months of "close and joint planning". Iran retaliated with strikes on U.M. military bases in the Middle East.
