Amidst the increasing war in the Middle East, US President Donald Trump has claimed that several top Iranian military officers have been killed in a major attack on Tehran. Trump said this through a post on his social media platform, in which he also shared a video. In this video, loud explosions and flames are visible in the sky in the darkness of the night.
This statement of Trump has come at a time when the war in the region is continuously intensifying and the situation is becoming very bad. Earlier, he had also given an ultimatum of 48 hours to Iran. He warned that if Iran did not reach an agreement with America or open the Strait of Hormuz, serious action would be taken. Let us tell you that the Strait of Hormuz is such a sea route in the world, through which 20 percent of the world’s oil is imported. Due to its closure, there has been a huge shortage of oil at the global level.

US Army’s Payal missing
Meanwhile, the American Army is busy searching for a missing pilot. According to reports, two American warplanes were shot down in Iran in the same day, which has happened for the first time during this war. One pilot has been rescued, but the other is still missing and the search is on in enemy territory. After these incidents, there has been an increase in agitation inside America also. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth has asked Army Chief General Randy George to step down and retire immediately. Although the reason behind this has not been made public, it is believed that this decision was taken due to increasing pressure and criticism regarding the war.
