Trump Launches Iran Attack, Skips White House War Address

TL;DR Summary
President Trump announced a major U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran via an edited social-media video and then avoided a formal White House brief or Oval Office address, instead attending a fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago. The White House offered little public explanation, marking a notable departure from wartime tradition as analysts noted potential public confusion and questions about the administration’s messaging during a time of conflict.
