  • Arlington National Cemetery was the setting for Trump's Memorial Day tribute to 13 U.S. service members killed in the Iran war, which he called Operation Epic Fury.
  • Seven of the 13 died in the opening wave of Iranian retaliatory attacks across the Middle East, while six Air Force airmen were killed in a KC-135 refueling aircraft crash in western Iraq.
  • Trump said their deaths helped ensure Iran, which he called the world's top state sponsor of terror, would never obtain a nuclear weapon.
  • The remarks came during Arlington's annual Memorial Day observance, where Trump also took part in the traditional wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
