Trump says Iran military operations are 'ahead of schedule,' CNBC reports
President Trump says joint U.S.-Israeli strikes have killed 48 Iranian leaders and dismantled key defenses as the conflict escalates with casualties on all sides, including three U.S. service members.
- President Donald Trump in a CNBC interview on March 1 said the U.S. military operation in Iran was ahead of schedule, adding that "Things are evolving in a very positive way right now, a very positive way."
- On Feb. 28, U.S. and Israeli forces launched massive strikes killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, aiming to dismantle Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities and pressure its leadership.
- U.S. military reports indicate three American service members were killed and five seriously wounded, while nine Iranian ships were sunk and parts of Iran's aerial defence systems were removed.
- Regional fallout includes civilian deaths in Beit Shemesh, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait, while disruptions hit global shipping lanes, airline industry, and travellers across the Middle East.
- Analysts caution that bombing campaigns rarely topple regimes, citing historical precedents and Iran's security and repressive institutions as reasons for uncertain outcomes.
