President Trump not addressing nation over Iran strikes: White House
Operation Epic Fury targeted Iran's missile and military sites aiming to degrade threats and promote regime change, with no U.S. casualties reported, officials said.
- President Donald Trump monitored the strikes from Mar‑a‑Lago and issued a video message on social platform during the operation on February 28, 2026.
- Officials said the strikes aimed to destroy Iran's ballistic and missile infrastructure to eliminate imminent threats and pressure the Iranian regime toward change.
- Satellite images showed heavy damage at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound in Tehran, while Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed officials and congressional leaders.
- The Iranian government retaliated by launching drones and missiles at Israel and U.S. military installations in Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar; Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed seven of Congress's Gang of Eight, and no U.S. citizen deaths have been reported.
- Senior officials say the strikes required close U.S.-Israel coordination, while critics, including The Guardian, argued they lacked legal foundation and minimal consultation with Congress; Trump framed the campaign as seeking regime change and warned of casualties.
