Yes, if the firm is able to cover fixed costs and a portion of variable costs it should continue to operate. If it is not operating, it will still have its fixed costs but will not be able to cover it. So even if a firm is making losses, it is making less of a loss than if it were to temporarily shut down.

Why should a firm continue to operate under a short-run period when TR is greater than VC but less than TC?

The firm should continue to operate whenMarginal Revenue (MR) >= Variable Cost (VC = MC)Because it is still making a structural profit per unit, which indicates an economic profit is being made. When making optimal production decisions, one should not include sunk costs, including plant investment, which cause TC >= VC. While the firm will be operating at a loss, it is still achieving a positive cost-benefit outcome.
