Trump: US Conducted Limited Strike on Iranian Air Defense Facility

President Donald Trump announced that US forces carried out a limited strike on an Iranian air defense military facility, which Washington had monitored under construction for two months, while warning of additional strikes and affirming no broad escalation is sought. Trump stated the strike does not mean entering a wide war with Iran, asserting the US controls the situation. He added that Washington continuously monitors Iranian nuclear sites and would target them again if anyone attempts access, while noting he does not want high casualties after the elections. The president said the US could destroy remaining Iranian capabilities but suggested avoiding thousands of deaths, adding that Iran is now in the position Washington wants. He indicated further strikes remain an option and that the US should achieve greater gains from Iran than it did with Venezuela.
