LIVE: Israel attacks Iran, US official says US took part in strikes
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/2/28/live-israel-launches-attacks-on-iran-multiple-explosions-heard-in-tehran

United States President Donald Trump says the US has begun “major combat operations” in Iran after Israel said it ⁠had launched missile attacks.
Multiple explosions have been heard in Iran’s capital, Tehran, while blasts have also been reported in several other locations across the country. There was no immediate official Iranian reaction.

on edit: it's 1:45 central time, trump has a white usa cap on, and he's talking and talking on script. was this pre-recorded? sounds like it was, not like they just woke him up
