Trump Warns of 'Major' Unlaunched Attacks Against Iran Amid Rising Tensions

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that a "major" wave of attacks against Iran has yet to be launched, amid escalating tensions in the region.

Trump's remarks, made to CNN, come as the United States grapples with uncertainty regarding Iran's future leadership following reported strikes. The strikes have reportedly resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to reports.

These developments follow a backdrop of heightened conflict, including reported Iranian strikes targeting Israel and Gulf states, allegedly in retaliation for Khamenei's death. Trump had previously vowed retaliation for the killing of soldiers during the conflict with Tehran.

U.S. Defense Secretary reiterated the American mission in Iran focuses on dismantling its missiles, naval capabilities, and preventing nuclear weapon acquisition. He clarified that military action is not aimed at establishing democracy.

The situation remains fluid, with the potential for further escalation and significant geopolitical ramifications in the Middle East.
