President Trump not addressing nation over Iran strikes: White House
President Trump justified joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran as defense against threats and called for regime change, with no US casualties reported, officials said.
- On February 28, 2026, President Donald Trump announced from his Mar-a-Lago resort that the United States and Israel launched major combat operations against Iran.
- Because nuclear talks did not produce a deal, U.S. and Israeli strikes began after negotiations failed, targeting Iran's missile program.
- Israeli sources said Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed, officials reported senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commanders dead, and state media cited 40 killed in a Minab school strike.
- In Washington, lawmakers said House members Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna will push next week for a vote to block U.S. military action against Iran without congressional approval, while Trump did not ask Congress beforehand.
- Analysts warn the strikes could push oil prices higher given Iran's oil output, about 3.3 million barrels a day, or 3% of global oil output, while WTI crude oil futures rose about 3% yesterday.
