US Strikes Iranian Force Headquarters, Announces First American Fatalities
US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the headquarters of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has been destroyed.
The CENTCOM also announced the first US fatalities in the war to overturn the Iranian government.
The command shared a video on X showing missiles fired from a US Navy ship striking and demolishing the urban compound.
“America has the most powerful military on earth, and the IRGC no longer has a headquarters,” it reads.
As the strikes on Tehran continued, President Donald Trump told the Daily Mail that the conflict could last about a month, describing it as “always been a four-week process.”
The US and Israel launched their campaign on Saturday with airstrikes that killed Iran’s supreme leader.
Iran responded with missile and drone attacks across the Middle East, with explosions reported in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Israel.
The Pentagon confirmed that “three US service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded”, while several others suffered minor shrapnel wounds and concussions.
It added that major combat operations were still underway and US forces were continuing their response.
Despite the attacks, Iran has shown public defiance.
Trump, speaking to The Atlantic, claimed that Iran’s remaining leaders “want to talk,” though he did not provide further details.
Trump, 79, waited several hours to address the US casualties before telling NBC News, “We expect casualties, but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Abdolrahim Mousavi, chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, was reportedly killed during a missile strike carried out by US-Israel military on Saturday.
