The situation in the Middle East has gone from bad to worse following Donald Trump's invasion of Iran. We just learned that a fourth US service member has been pronounced dead. The amount of seriously wounded US service members has climbed to 18. Also, in response to all of the very serious and deeply troubling news coming out of Iran and the Middle East, donald trump has issued the following statement to the american people he said this to the new york post moments ago quote i don't have the yips with respect to the boots on the ground like every president says there will be no boots on the ground i don't say it i say probably don't need them or if they were necessary because i don't have the yips
I don't have the yips statement from Donald Trump right there. War is spreading throughout the entire Middle East. Iran is not relenting. There was a disastrous press conference held this morning by Donald Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Kaine. They talked about a war. that could last a very long period of time, weeks, potentially months. Also, Donald Trump's been calling into reporters and saying that he is not ruling out boots on the ground. The specific quote from Donald Trump is, we are going to be escalating this even more soon. It's going to get even less safe. We haven't even hit them referring to Iran hard yet. Donald Trump says he's also been making a number of other kind of deranged quotes about how he's not ruling out.
He said other presidents, they're afraid of putting boots on the ground. I'm not afraid of putting boots on the ground. I'm going to do whatever it is that I'm going to do. We also learned that there were three F-15s that were struck by Kuwait in a friendly fire incident. US Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses. Fortunately, all of the individuals on board those airplanes were safe and they did not die. They all were able to eject, but a major friendly fire incident over there in Kuwait. I want to go through what else is going on. Let's just take this piece by piece of what we are learning this morning. CENTCOM posted the following update. As of 7.30 a.m. March 2nd, four U.S.
service members have been killed in action. The fourth service member who was seriously wounded during Iran's initial attack eventually succumbed to their injuries. Eighteen American service members seriously wounded so far during this operation. The U.S. military's ongoing strike campaign against Iran, according to a spokesperson from U.S. Central Command. Iranian forces also hit a U.S.-flagged tanker, the Stena Imperative, in the port of Bahrain today, setting the vessel on fire. While all of this was going on, Donald Trump says it's going to get less safe. We haven't started to hit them hard yet. The big wave hasn't even happened yet. The big one is coming soon. Then Donald Trump called up CNN and told Jake Tapper the following as well.
Let's just play this clip. And President Trump, I'm just hearing in my ear, just told my colleague Jake Tapper that the big wave is yet to come. So clearly things are going to be escalating, not deescalating in the future.
