- Following attacks that produced U.S. casualties, six U.S. service members were killed and CENTCOM recovered remains of two from Iran's initial strikes.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said there are no U.S. troops in Iran now but would not rule out future options, and 'When pressed for how long the operation could last, Hegseth said', indicating uncertainty about the timeline.
- The Trump administration warned that U.S. forces continue active combat and `We expect to take additional losses`, officials say.
- Trump framed the stakes by saying, "An Iranian regime armed with long-range missiles and nuclear weapons would be an intolerable threat," while the commander in chief sets an up tempo to degrade Iran’s capabilities.
