US President Donald Trump has warned that additional American casualties are likely as US military operations against Iran continue until all objectives are achieved, amid a rapidly escalating regional conflict. Trump acknowledged the growing human cost, noting that the campaign would continue despite the risks. Iranian authorities reported that at least 153 people, including children, were killed after a strike hit a school inside Iran. The Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the attacks, accusing Iran of violating international law and warning it would take necessary measures to defend member states. Meanwhile, Iran launched strikes on targets in Iraq, including areas near Erbil’s international airport, which US Central Command said was among the intended targets.
