US casualties in Iran expected to rise, Trump warns of ongoing attacks
March 2, 2026 • Al Jazeera
US President Donald Trump has stated that military operations against Iran are likely to continue, with the aim of achieving all objectives. In a recent announcement, Trump indicated that the ongoing conflict will persist until its goals are fully realized.
According to Trump, additional US casualties can be expected as a result of these continued operations. The president’s comments suggest that the situation in Iran remains fluid and uncertain.
The US military has been engaged in a series of strikes against Iranian targets since January 2020, following an attack on US personnel at a base in Iraq. Since then, there have been multiple incidents involving US aircraft and personnel, resulting in significant losses for both sides.
Trump’s statement implies that the conflict is far from over, with further military engagements likely to occur in the coming days or weeks. The exact nature of these operations remains unclear, but it is evident that the situation in Iran continues to be a source of tension between the US and Iranian governments.
The ongoing conflict has raised concerns about the potential for increased violence and instability in the region. As the situation evolves, it will be important to monitor developments and provide updates on any further incidents or actions taken by the US military.
