President Donald Trump says his birthday wish is “peace for the world” as the United States carries out additional strikes on Iran, according to reporting that cites US military confirmation. The remark comes before US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirms that Trump, as commander-in-chief, has directed further strikes on Iran. The Independent reports that Trump made the statement ahead of the military confirmation, framing it as a general wish for global peace while the operation proceeds. Yahoo UK News includes the same headline and overall framing but provides no additional details in the supplied excerpt. Across the reports, the core sequence is that Trump makes a peace-oriented remark in connection with his birthday, and CENTCOM subsequently confirms that further US strikes on Iran are ordered by Trump. The available accounts do not provide additional specifics in the excerpts about the targets, timing, or the scale of the strikes, focusing instead on the juxtaposition between Trump’s statement and the confirmation of ongoing military action.
