"US President Donald Trump addresses the nation from Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach on Saturday, February 28, following military strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran. Trump confirmed 'major combat operations' in Iran in a video posted on his Truth Social: "To the members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, the armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity - or in the alternative, face certain death." Iran hit back, targeting US-linked assets across Gulf states hosting American military bases, including Bahrain, Kuwait Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said "Netanyahu and Trump's war on Iran is wholly unprovoked, illegal, and illegitimate"."
