“No fewer than 48 leaders have been taken out in one fell swoop. And things are moving quickly,” President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News, referring to the ongoing US and Israeli military campaign against Iran.
“Nobody can believe the success we're having,” President Donald Trump told Fox News. Trump said 48 military and political leaders were hit by the US and Israeli strike.
Mayor Mamdani, criticized
The conservative TV station notes the success of the action and criticizes the attitude of those who oppose it. One of those opponents of military action is Zohran Mamdani, the mayor of New York. Mamdani said Trump is neglecting the legal aspects that must underlie such a war.
“You are defending the regime of the Ayatollah”, some American officials vehemently reproached the mayor of New York after his post. “Comrade Mayor Supports Ayatollah,” Republican Sen. Ted Cruz posted on X. Cruz continued, “They can sing together.”
“History will not remember Mamdani's courage. It will not remember him at all,” Republican Rep. Nancy Mace posted on X.
Trump says things are going better than anticipated
Returning to the statements made by Trump on Fox News, the journalist of the TV channel specified that her discussion with President Trump took place before the announcement related to the first American losses in the conflict, namely three soldiers killed and five others seriously wounded, according to the Central Command in the Middle East (CENTCOM).
Also, in a phone call with a CNBC reporter, Trump said the operations “are going very well, we're more advanced.”
how long will it last
“It's a very violent regime, one of the most violent regimes in history. We're doing our job not just for ourselves, but for the whole world. And everything is ahead of schedule,” the US president added.
“No fewer than 48 leaders have been taken out in one fell swoop. And things are moving fast,” Trump told Fox News.
At least three more days of heavy bombing are likely to follow, according to a Washington military source cited by Axios. “It's a race against time. We have to destroy Iranian launchers and missiles before they can use them,” a US general told US media.
