- 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.
