"Khamenei, one of the worst people in history, is dead. This is justice not only for the Iranian people but also for countless individuals from many countries around the world who were killed or maimed by Khamenei and his bloodthirsty gang. He could not escape our intelligence and our highly advanced tracking systems, and with close cooperation from Israel, there was nothing he or the other leaders killed alongside him could have done. This is the one and greatest opportunity for the Iranian people to reclaim their country. We are hearing that many in the IRGC, the Military, and other Security and Police Forces no longer wish to fight and are seeking immunity from us. As I said last night, “Now they can gain immunity, or later they will only receive Death!” We hope the IRGC and Police will peacefully unite with patriotic Iranians and work together as one unit to restore their country to its rightful greatness. This process must begin soon; because not only has Khamenei been killed, but the country itself has been largely destroyed or even eliminated in just one day. However, heavy and precise bombardment will continue nonstop for the week or as long as necessary to achieve peace in the MIDDLE EAST AND EVEN THE ENTIRE WORLD!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

Healey noted that Royal Air Force jets were operating in the region under “defense capacity.”
Healey said, “The UK will shoot down missiles or UAVs heading toward our allies, such as Qatar and Cyprus.” He noted that approximately 300 British personnel were stationed near a military base in Bahrain, attacked by Iran the previous day, with some located “a few hundred meters from the attack.”
Healey, citing increased Iranian attacks across the Middle East as a threat to British personnel and citizens, expressed concern that these attacks “endanger British personnel and the British public.” He confirmed that two missiles had been fired from Iran toward the RoC, where British military bases are located. John Healey added, “We are very confident these missiles were not aimed at our bases, but this demonstrates how indiscriminate Iran’s retaliation has been.”
When asked whether the UK would shift from defensive operations to offensive actions, Healey replied, “We have not been part of any offensive operations.” He continued:
“We are focusing our efforts on defensive actions. We have done this from the outset, deploying additional radars, aircraft, and other weapon systems to Cyprus and Qatar. Currently, we are conducting flights as part of regional coordination, and all our actions are aimed at defending British interests and protecting our UK allies.”
When asked whether the UK would directly attack Iran, Healey responded: “I will not speculate. Do not expect me to comment on hypothetical scenarios, potential negotiations, or operations.”
Healey stated: “The steps we are taking and will take will always remain within established rules of engagement, continuing to defend our interests and the collective interests of our allies within the framework of international law.”

Starmer stated that British Armed Forces personnel stationed across the region were at risk due to Iran’s actions and described Iran’s behavior as increasingly reckless.
Starmer emphasized that the UK’s decision not to participate in the initial attacks on Iran was a “deliberate choice,” grounded in the belief that the crisis must be resolved through diplomacy and negotiations. He stated that such a solution required Iran to abandon its goal of developing nuclear weapons. However, he added, “Iran’s current actions are harming British interests and placing British citizens and regional allies at serious risk.”
Prime Minister Starmer stated: “British jets are flying as part of coordinated defensive operations successfully intercepting Iran’s attacks. But the only way to stop this threat is to destroy the missiles at their source—in storage facilities or launch ramps. The U.S. has requested permission to use British bases for this specific and limited defensive purpose. We have accepted this request to prevent Iran from killing innocent civilians, endangering British citizens, and striking countries with no involvement in the conflict.”
Starmer stated that the decision was taken to uphold the collective defense of long-standing UK allies and to protect the lives of British citizens. He defended the decision as consistent with international law, affirming that the UK was not participating in offensive operations against Iran but would continue its defensive activities in the region.

On March 1, 2026, Ali Laricani, Secretary-General of Iran’s National Security Council, stated that Iran had no intention of attacking regional states. He emphasized that Iran had targeted only U.S. military bases. The statement indicated that any U.S. bases located on the territory of regional countries would be considered targets if used in attacks against Iran.
Laricani stated that these bases were not considered part of the host countries’ territory but rather U.S. military assets. A similar position was expressed by Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, which argued that although regional countries had not permitted their territories to be used against Iran, they lacked direct control over U.S. bases and therefore could not prevent the attacks.
On the same day, Iran’s Armed Forces announced new missile and UAV attacks against Israel and U.S. targets in the region. After these attacks, air defense systems were activated and explosion sounds were heard in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Jordan.

On March 1, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump defended the U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran, stating, “If we hadn’t done this, they would have had nuclear weapons in two weeks.” Trump assessed the strikes for Fox News White House correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, declining to comment on how many American soldiers had been killed but asserting that the U.S. had a clear understanding of how many targets remained in Iran. He stated that U.S. B-2 bombers had targeted Iran’s nuclear facilities.
While emphasizing he was not concerned about the closure of the Strait of Hormuz or oil prices, Trump said, “I’m not worried about anything. I’m just doing what’s right. In the end, everything will fall into place.” He also urged the Iranian people to “take back control of their own future,” asserting that the process was moving rapidly.
