3月2日华盛顿报道，五角大楼今天表示，在伊朗最初对中东地区发动报复袭击时，已从一处设施中找到了2名美军士兵的遗体，这使得“史诗狂怒行动”中美军死亡人数上升至6人。 一位美国官员和一位消息人士称，这6名美军士兵全部都在科威特遇难，所有6人均死于周末伊朗的一次报复性袭击。美国中央司令部今天下午表示，已经有18名美军士兵在这次行动中严重受伤。 此外，科威特今天击落了3架美国F-15战斗机，中央司令部称之为“友军误伤事件”，但所有机组人员均安全。与此同时，美国驻科威特大使馆疑似遭到伊朗导弹袭击，现场冒出浓烟。 美国战争部长赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）今天早些时候在五角大楼新闻发布会上表示，美国对伊朗的军事行动“目标明确，如同激光瞄准器般精准”。与此同时，美以联合对伊朗军事行动已进入第三天。 赫格塞斯说：“摧毁伊朗导弹，摧毁伊朗导弹生产设施，摧毁其海军和其他安全基础设施，他们就永远无法拥有核武器。”与他一同出席新闻发布会的还有美国参谋长联席会议主席凯恩（Dan Caine)。 赫格塞斯今天指责伊朗挑起战争，称伊朗“顽固且显而易见地追求核能”，并“以全球航运线路为目标”。赫格塞斯还称：“伊朗用常规武器指着我们的头，试图用谎言制造核弹。” 赫格塞斯说：“这和伊拉克战争不一样，这次行动不会没完没了。我亲身经历了这两场战争——我们这一代人比伊拉克人更清楚，这位总统也一样。他曾称过去20年的‘国家重建战争’是愚蠢的，他说得对。这次行动恰恰相反。这次行动是一项明确、毁灭性、果断的任务：摧毁导弹威胁，摧毁海军，杜绝核武器。” 赫格塞斯表示，目前美国在伊朗境内没有地面部队，但他表示不会“就我们未来将采取或不会采取的行动进行讨论”。虽然赫格塞斯拒绝透露此次行动的具体结束时间，但他承诺行动不会“无休止”。 美国参谋长联席会议主席凯恩将军说，作为此次任务的一部分，“我们预计还会有更多伤亡”。凯恩表示，“我们需要一些时间进行战损评估，中央司令部将根据评估结果制定打击目标。” 凯恩今天表示，特朗普总统2月27日下午下令：“史诗狂怒行动获得批准。不得中止。祝一切顺利。” 凯恩说，接到命令后，美军防空部队立即做好准备，飞行员和机组人员对打击编队进行了最后一次演练，机组人员开始装载最后的武器，而由2名飞行员组成的打击群也开始向全球各地的最终起飞点进发。与此同时，美国战争部位于五角大楼和佛罗里达州坦帕的作战中心也“进入了运作状态”。 凯恩表示，美国东部时间2月28日凌晨1点15分，超过100架飞机从陆地和海上起飞，对包括来自伊朗的电子攻击轰炸机和无人平台，组成了一次同步攻击波。 凯恩说：“这是一次基于威胁触发事件的白昼打击，由伊朗国防部队发起，并得到了美国情报部门的支持。”…
3月2日纽约报道，美国总统特朗普的夫人梅拉尼娅（Melania Trump）今天在纽约联合国总部主持了联合国安理会（UNSC）会议，并在美国对伊朗发动军事袭击之际发表演讲，呼吁“通过教育实现和平”。 美国今天接任了联合国安理会轮值主席国，而就在几天前，美国和以色列于2月28日对伊朗发动代号为“史诗狂怒行动”(Operation Epic Fury）的大规模军事打击，造成包括伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊在内的多位重要领导人身亡。据称，梅拉尼娅今天出席联合国大会的行程，是在美国对伊朗大规模“史诗狂怒行动”的军事袭击开始之前安排的。 联合国安理会由15个成员国组成，其中5个为常任理事国：美国、中国、法国、俄罗斯和英国；10个非常任理事国任期两年，包括巴林、哥伦比亚、刚果、丹麦、希腊、拉脱维亚、利比里亚、巴基斯坦、巴拿马和索马里。 美国和以色列对伊朗发动空袭后，联合国秘书长古德雷斯警告称伊朗空袭可能引发中东冲突扩大，安理会发言人呼吁各方保持克制，重返谈判桌。 美国总统特朗普昨天在白宫的讲话中警告伊朗不要进行报复，称如果伊朗“发动猛烈攻击”，将会遭到“前所未有的反击”，并表示美军将继续打击构成“迫在眉睫的威胁”的军事设施和弹道导弹目标，预计联合军事行动将持续数日。 梅拉尼娅今天在美国“与全世界所有儿童站在一起”的议题演讲中说：“美国与全世界所有儿童站在一起，我希望不久的将来，和平将属于你们。你们共同肩负着维护安全、防止冲突的使命，无论在战争时期还是和平时期，这项使命都意义重大，必须公平公正地执行，绝不能掉以轻心。和平不应该脆弱不堪。” 梅拉尼娅的此次演讲，是历史上首次由总统夫人，也是首次由现任美国总统夫人主持联合国安理会会议。
3月2日华盛顿报道，美国总统特朗普今天在白宫宣布，美以两国联合开展的旨在“粉碎伊朗威胁”的行动“进展顺利，甚至超前于计划”。 在白宫今天举行的荣誉勋章授予仪式上，特朗普总统就“史诗狂怒行动”的最新进展进行了通报，并誓言美国将“轻松战胜”这个“恐怖政权”。 特朗普总统说：“我们拥有世界上最强大、最有实力的军队，我们必将轻松取胜。我们的进展已经远远超出预期，但无论何时，都无所谓。不惜一切代价。” 此前，美国和以色列于2月28日上午对伊朗发起了“史诗狂怒行动”。美国官员称，该项联合军事行动目标是伊朗领导层和关键军事设施，但不包括核设施。 特朗普总统表示，此次行动预计将持续四到五周，并指出“我们有能力持续更长时间”。 特朗普总统还说：“我们原本预计需要四周时间来解除军方领导层的职务，但正如你们所知，我们只用了一个小时就完成了。所以，我们在这方面远远提前了。” 一位美国高级官员此前证实，伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊是此次联合行动中以色列对德黑兰发动空袭身亡的5至10名高级领导人之一。伊朗国家媒体也已证实，包括哈梅内伊在内的几位伊朗高级领导人在空袭中丧生。 战斧式战斗机、B-2隐形轰炸机和攻击无人机在24小时内猛烈轰炸了超过1000个伊朗目标。 今天早些时候，美国战争部长赫格塞斯概述了针对伊朗的“明确”的三个阶段行动，他坚称这场冲突“不会无休止”，并强烈反对将此次冲突与美国过去在中东的战争相提并论。 赫格塞斯在五角大楼表示：“这场战争的规则从始至终都由我们掌控。我们的目标并非不切实际，而是务实的，旨在维护我们的利益，保卫我们的人民和盟友。” 美国官员称，以色列正集中火力打击伊朗领导层目标，而美国则将目标对准其所称构成“迫在眉睫的威胁”的军事设施和弹道导弹基础设施。 美国官员称，这场战争的规则从始至终都由美以掌控，其目标并非不切实际，而是务实的，旨在维护美国和以色列的利益，保卫美以人民和盟友。

3月1日华盛顿报道，美国国务院今天一份媒体声明中宣布，特朗普政府与巴林、约旦、科威特、卡塔尔、沙特和阿联酋政府发布联合声明，旨在谴责伊朗伊斯兰共和国近期在该地区发动的导弹和无人机袭击。 该声明表示：“美国、巴林、约旦、科威特、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯王国和阿拉伯联合酋长国强烈谴责伊朗伊斯兰共和国对包括巴林、伊拉克（含伊拉克库尔德斯坦地区）、约旦、科威特、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯王国和阿拉伯联合酋长国在内的地区主权领土发动不分青红皂白、肆意妄为的导弹和无人机袭击。这些毫无正当理由的袭击针对主权领土，危及平民生命，并破坏民用基础设施。” 该声明指出：“伊朗伊斯兰共和国的行动构成危险的局势升级，侵犯了多个国家的主权，并威胁到地区稳定。以平民和非交战国为攻击目标，是鲁莽且破坏稳定的行径。” 该声明强调说：“我们团结一致，捍卫我们的公民、主权和领土，并重申我们面对这些袭击的自卫权。我们始终致力于维护地区安全，并赞扬有效的防空和导弹防御合作，正是这种合作避免了更大的人员伤亡和财产损失。” 在该声明之前，特朗普政府于2月28日对伊朗发动了大规模空袭，包括伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊（Ayatollah Ali Khamenei）在内的数名高级领导人在空袭中丧生。伊朗随后对以色列和位于中东地区驻扎美国军事基地的国家实施了报复轰炸。 此前，伊朗政府已经确认，伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊在美国和以色列对伊朗的一系列袭击中丧生，并发誓将采取报复行动。 美国总统特朗普今天表示，美军“预计”在今天美以联合对伊朗的军事行动中会有一些伤亡，并确认3名美军士兵在“史诗狂怒行动”中阵亡。 特朗普总统表示：“我们预料到这样的行动会有伤亡。目前有3人阵亡，但我们预料到会有更多伤亡，但最终这对世界来说意义重大。” 特朗普总统指出：“到目前为止，行动取得了许多积极成果，首要成果是斩首他们，消灭他们所有的杀手和暴徒。行动还有许多其他结果。我们可以选择速战速决，也可以选择持久战。” 美国中央司令部今天确认，在美以联合对伊朗的军事行动中，有3名美军士兵阵亡，另有5名士兵“重伤”，还有几名士兵被弹片击伤或脑震荡，但他们正在逐步恢复现役。
