It’s an honour to be killing Iranian military — Trump

Trump also criticised media reports that questioned the success of the military campaign, insisting that the United States was winning the conflict.

Iran’s military, he said, is “being decimated, and their leaders have been wiped from the face of the earth.”

“We have unparalleled firepower, unlimited ammunition, and plenty of time — Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump’s Defence Secretary, Pete Hegseth, said the US military would intensify its attacks on Friday, promising the heaviest bombardment since the war began.

“In fact, today will be yet again the highest volume of strikes that America has put over the skies of Iran and Tehran,” he told a press conference.
