Christian leaders have issued various reactions after the United States and Israeli strikes in Iran killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and military leaders on Saturday, spurring Iran to launch missiles and drones toward Israel and U.S. military bases across the Middle East in response.

In a video on his Truth Social platform Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump said that hundreds of targets in Iran were hit, including Revolutionary Guard facilities, Iranian air defense systems, nine ships and naval buildings “in a matter of minutes.”

Trump claimed that Khamenei had the “blood of hundreds and even thousands of Americans on his hands and was responsible for the slaughter of countless thousands of innocent people all across many countries.” He stated that the attacks took out Iran’s “entire military command” and vowed that combat operations will continue at “full force” until “all of our objectives are achieved.”

“Last night, all over Iran, the voices of the Iranian people could be heard cheering and celebrating in the streets,” Trump said.

At least three U.S. service members have been killed in action, and five others were seriously wounded, the U.S. Central Command announced on Sunday. Several other troops suffered shrapnel injuries and concussions and will return to duty. U.S. government sources told Reuters that the U.S. troops were killed on a military base in Kuwait.

“We pray for the full recovery of the wounded and send our immense love and eternal gratitude to the families of the fallen,” Trump said. “And sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more, but we’ll do everything possible where that won’t be the case.”
