Trump on the slain U.S. service members: ‘America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war’

The left will immediately begin making much of the casualties, as if they actually care about American lives. They will continue to ignore the fact that the Iranian Islamic regime has been at war with the United States since 1979. It is responsible for the deaths of 869 U.S. military personnel before this. This is a defensive conflict against a relentless jihadi enemy. The sympathizers that Iran’s bloodthirsty regime has in the U.S. are so blinded by their hatred of Trump that they’re supporting one of the most evil governments in human history.

“Trump pledges to ‘avenge’ fallen US service members as tensions with Iran intensify,” by Amanda Macias, Fox News, March 1, 2026:

President Donald Trump vowed Sunday to “avenge” the deaths of three U.S. service members killed in action as the conflict involving Iran deepens across the Middle East.

“As one nation, we grieve for the true American patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation,” Trump said in a video statement posted on Truth Social.

“Even as we continue the righteous mission for which they gave their lives, we pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen.”

The president struck a somber note, warning that “sadly, there will likely be more before it ends.”

“America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the terrorists who have waged war,” Trump said. “Our resolve and likewise that of Israel has never been stronger.”

Trump’s remarks, his first public statement since the U.S.-Israel strikes that led to the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior Iranian officials, signaled a potentially prolonged confrontation.

“This wretched and vile man had the blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people all across many countries,” Trump said.

He said U.S. forces had struck “hundreds of targets” inside Iran, including key Revolutionary Guard facilities, air defense systems and naval assets. Trump said the U.S. “knocked out nine Iranian ships “in a matter of literally minutes.” Military operations, he added, would continue “until all of our objectives are achieved.”

He went on to issue a direct warning to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and military leadership, urging them to surrender in exchange for immunity or face “certain death.”…
