NTD’s special coverage tracks the fast-moving military action across Iran, addressing concerns over how the battered regime may retaliate. U.S. and Israeli forces struck deep inside the country, killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of his top commanders. Tragically, three American service members were killed in action, with five more seriously wounded.

U.S. President Donald Trump spoke in a video uploaded to social media on Sunday, declaring the mission will continue "as long as necessary" to achieve lasting peace, adding: "This is the duty and the burden of a free people. These actions are right and they are necessary to ensure that Americans will never have to face a radical, bloodthirsty terrorist regime armed with nuclear weapons and lots of threats."
