Trump: Diplomatic solution in Iran remains possible and "much easier now"

Trump says U.S. strikes killed Iran's supreme leader and 40 officials, with fewer retaliatory attacks than expected, potentially easing diplomatic efforts.

  • Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that Khamenei was killed in the strikes and said `Much easier now than it was a day ago, obviously`.
  • Sources said the operation inflicted casualties, with roughly 40 Iranian officials killed in U.S. strikes in Iran, prompting Iran to launch ballistic missiles at Israel and attacks on U.S. allies.
  • U.S. Central Command said there have been no reports of U.S. deaths or injuries, and Trump said, `We thought it'd be double` but `Thus far, it's been less`.
  • Regional casualties and political responses included one person killed in Israel and support from Capitol Hill Republicans, while some Democrats urged for details.
  • Mr. Trump said there are potential Iranian leaders to succeed Khamenei and he remains focused on eliminating threats to the United States while monitoring Iran's response Saturday.
