00:00United States President Donald Trump in a nationwide broadcast issued a few hours ago over the joint Israel-US military
00:08actions in the sovereign nation of Iran,
00:10has said that many Iranian soldiers are willing to surrender in order to save their lives,
00:15but the offensive US-Israel military war or combat on Iran continued,
00:20saying the joint military operations codenamed Operation Epic Fury has destroyed hundreds of Iranian targets since the military action began
00:30on February 28, 2026,
00:33including the killing of the Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei,
00:37and the new joint war against Iran has resulted to the killing of more than 200 Iranian civilians and military

00:45with thousands of people injured, while over 12 persons have been killed so far in Israel with estimated 500 people
00:53sustaining injuries
00:54and the war has forced Iran to launch counterattacks on US military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United
01:02Arab Emirates, UAE.
01:05This, Iran Foreign Minister, Abis Arachi had said Iran will not surrender, stating that,
01:11despite the massive airstrikes on Tehran, Iran's military capability remains intact, adding,
01:17Iran was able to retaliate faster than it did in the 2025-12-day war, and that its
01:24mosaic defense doctrine makes it resilient to infrastructure damage,
01:29Arachi called the killing of Khamenei, absolutely unprecedented and a major violation of international law,
01:35warning it had made the conflict, even more dangerous and more complicated, saying,
01:40Khamenei was not only Iran's political leader, but, a high-ranking religious leader for millions of Muslims,
01:47even outside of Iran, across the region, pointing to protests that had erupted in Iraq, Pakistan and elsewhere
01:54where the leader had followers, in line with this, Al Jazeera news media also reported some minutes ago
02:01that Iranian missiles have been seen over Tel Aviv and the occupied West Bank, reportedly breaking through
02:08Israel's defense system, with Iran saying it is targeting Israeli military facilities.
02:14In the six minutes nationwide video broadcast, President Donald Trump called on members of the
02:20Iranian Revolutionary Guards to surrender their weapons or face certain deaths, saying,
02:26the death of the three American soldiers killed in action will be avenged by taking more punishing
02:31actions against the enemies. President Donald Trump said there will likely be additional American
02:37deaths during the combat mission in Iran, which he said would continue until the US achieves its
02:42objectives. Combat operations continue at this time, in full force, and they will continue until all of
02:50our objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives, he said in a video posted to Truth Social,
02:56without specifying in detail what those objectives were, according to CNN.
03:02President Trump said nine Iranian ships have been destroyed so far in the Operation Epic Fury.
03:08In an earlier social media post, Trump said, I have just been informed that we have destroyed and sunk
03:15nine Iranian naval ships, some of them relatively large and important. We are going after the rest,
03:21they will soon be floating at the bottom of the sea, also. President Trump also said during the
03:28broadcast that the Iranian people are now celebrating on the streets in Iran over the killing of the
03:33Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who he described as a man behind the killing of thousands
03:39of Americans and the route behind terrorism in the world. Iran also confirmed the killing of the
03:45supreme leader, Khamenei's daughter, granddaughter, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law in the US-Israel
03:53joint military air bombardments in Tehran. Iran News Daily reported that the Iranian parliament speaker,
04:00Mohammed Barga Ghalibaf said, we have prepared ourselves for all scenarios, and plans have even
04:06been made for after the martyrdom of Imam Khamenei. You will see that with the formation of a leadership
04:12council, authority will take shape among the people and officials. The media also reported that the
04:19Iran's military has launched four ballistic missiles targeting the US aircraft carrier USS
04:24Abraham Lincoln in the Gulf, in response to US and Israeli strikes that resulted in the death of the
04:30country's supreme leader. Spokesperson for the Qatam al-Anbiya central headquarters,
04:36the unified combatant command of the Iranian armed forces, Colonel Abraham Zolfahiri said,
04:42Iran will not bow to America. The enemies are delusional if they think they can defeat Iran
04:48by assassinating the leader of the revolution and the Islamic Republic. The Islamic Revolutionary
04:54Guards Corps, IRGC also said, we struck with missiles three offending oil tankers belonging to
05:01the United States and Britain in the Gulf. While some celebrated the killing of the 86-years-old
05:07Iran's supreme leader, there were demonstrations in Lucknow, the capital city of Indian northern
05:13state of Uttar Pradesh and Khargal, a city in the India-administered Union territory of Ladakh,
05:18in mourning the martyrdom of the leader of the Iran's supreme leader. Protesters were also seen
05:24destroying US properties at the US consulate in Karachi city of Pakistan. Iranian media reports,
05:31citing the Red Crescent, had stated that at least 201 people have been killed across 24 provinces in Iran
05:39since the war began on Saturday. Nigeria Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmed Gumi, has also reacted to the
05:47death of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, describing him as, a lucky soul, who, died in jihad.
05:55In a post shared on his Facebook page on Sunday, Gumi said Khamenei died, in jihad against killers of
06:02innocent children and women in Gaza and elsewhere. He added that Khamenei's blood, will fuel the change
06:09in the Ummah, noting that the Iranian leader stood firmly for justice and did not hide in bunkers. Gumi
06:15wrote, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a lucky soul, he died in jihad against killers of innocent children and women in
06:23Gaza and elsewhere. His blood will fuel the change in the Ummah. He stood firmly for justice and didn't
06:29hide in bunkers. For those who killed him or assisted in killing him, let us see what they
06:35will live to do in this world. Iran state television has announced a 40-day morning period and seven
06:41public holidays in his honor. With the martyrdom of the supreme leader, his path and mission neither
06:47will be lost nor will be forgotten. On the other hand, they will be pursued with greater vigor and zeal.
06:53A presenter said. Khamenei, 86, had been Iran's supreme leader since 1989. U.S. Military Central
07:02Command confirmed that three U.S. service members were killed and five others seriously injured in
07:08combat operations. Iran has launched extensive counterattacks, firing hundreds of ballistic
07:14missiles and drones at Israel, hitting areas like Beit Shemesh and Tel Aviv and U.S. military bases in
07:21Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE. Over 200 people have been reported killed in Iran, with a single
07:29strike on a school in southern Iran resulting in at least 165 deaths. This current 2026 war follows the
07:3712-day war on June 13-24, 2025, a prior direct military confrontation between Israel, the U.S.,
07:47and Iran that ended in a ceasefire. The 2025 conflict was triggered by Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear
07:54facilities. It involved over 1,500 Iranian missiles and drones fired at Israel. The U.S.
08:02thereafter conducted Operation Midnight Hammer in June 2025, using B-2 stealth bombers to strike
08:09nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. As of March 2, 2026, local media reports in Israel
08:17indicate that at least 12 people have been killed in Israel since the current conflict with Iran
08:22escalated on February 28. The deadliest, single incident occurred in the central Israeli town on
08:30March 1, where an Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential building, killing nine people. One
08:36woman was killed by falling shrapnel during strikes on Saturday, February 28, in Tel Aviv. Over 500 people
08:44have been reported injured across the country due to missile impacts, shrapnel, or accidents while seeking
08:50shelter. Over the past 36 hours, the United States and its partners have launched Operation Epic Fury,
08:59one of the largest, most complex, most overwhelming military offensives the world has ever seen. Nobody's
09:07seen anything like it. We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, including Revolutionary Guard facilities,
09:16Iranian air defense systems. Just now it's announced that we knocked out nine ships plus their naval
09:24building, all in a matter of literally minutes. Iran's formerly supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini,
09:36is dead. This wretched and vile man had the blood of hundreds and
09:41even thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of
09:48countless thousands of innocent people all across many countries. Last night, all over Iran,
09:57the voices of the Iranian people could be heard cheering and celebrating in the streets when his death
10:03death was announced. The entire military command is gone as well, and many of them want to
10:11surrender into saving their lives. They want immunity. They're calling by the thousands.
10:19Combat operations continue at this time in full force, and they will continue until all of our
10:26our objectives are achieved. We have very strong objectives. They could have done something two
10:32weeks ago, but they just couldn't get there. Earlier today, CENTCOM shared the news that three U.S.
10:39military service members have been killed in action. As one nation, we grieve for the true American
10:47patriots who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, even as we continue the righteous mission
10:55for which they gave their lives. We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense
11:03love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen. And sadly, there will likely be more.
11:10And before it ends, that's the way it is, likely be more. But we'll do everything possible where that
11:18won't be the case. But America will avenge their deaths and deliver the most punishing blow to the
11:25terrorists who have waged war against basically civilization. They have waged war against civilization
11:34itself. Our resolve, and likewise that of Israel, has never been stronger. America is now again the
11:42richest, most powerful nation in the world by far. But the only reason we enjoy the quality of life that
11:50we do and the freedom and security is we have done things that others are unable to do. But it's
11:59because of
12:00warriors who are willing to lay down their lives to do battle with our enemies. And they do battle better
12:08than anybody. An Iranian regime armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would be a dire threat
12:17to every American. We cannot allow a nation that raises terrorist armies to possess such weapons would
12:25allow them to extort the world to their evil will. We're not going to let it happen. We're not
12:31happening to us, and we're not going to let it happen to others. The United States has the strongest
12:38military the world has ever seen. I rebuilt our military in my first term. There's never been a military
12:45military across the world like we possess. And frankly, there's nobody even close. But we are now
12:53using that military for good. We want to have it for good purpose. We're undertaking this massive
12:59operation not merely to ensure security for our own time and place, but for our children and their
13:07children, just as our ancestors have done for us many, many years ago. This is the duty and the burden
13:16of a free people. These actions are right, and they are necessary to ensure that Americans will never
13:23have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of threats.
13:32For almost 50 years, these wicked extremists have been attacking the United States while chanting the
13:40slogan, death to America or death to Israel or both. They are the world's number one state sponsor of terror.
13:48We are the world's greatest and most powerful nation, so we can do something about what they do.
13:55These intolerable threats will not continue any longer.
13:59I once again urge the Revolutionary Guard, the Iranian military, police to lay down your arms and
14:08receive full immunity or face certain death. It will be certain death. It won't be pretty.
14:14I call upon all Iranian patriots who yearn for freedom to seize this moment, to be brave, be bold,
14:22be heroic and take back your country. America is with you. I made a promise to you and I fulfilled
14:30that promise. The rest will be up to you, but we'll be there to help. Thank you. God bless you
14:37to
14:40the United States of America.
