Did US use Anthropic AI in Iran’s strikes despite Trump’s ban? What we know

After announcing the death of Iran's most powerful leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, US President Donald Trump on Saturday (Feb 28) said that he will offer immunity to members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its military and police forces “for now.” He claimed that many members of IRGC have decided not to fight for the regime. He said that he would hope that these members merge with those against the regime, calling them “Iranian patriots.” In a warning to IRGC and military, Trump said that they would face death if they continue to fight for the regime. At a time when Iran lost its most powerful person and amid calls of regime change, Trump's offer might be tempting for few, but at large, IRGC has vowed revenge and warned of “terrifying attacks at US bases.”&nbsp;“We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us…As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death! Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/can-irgc-takeover-after-supreme-leader-khamenei-s-dead-iran-s-constitutional-details-and-hierarchies-explained-1772325325599">Can IRGC takeover after Supreme Leader Khamenei's dead?

After announcing the death of Iran's most powerful leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, US President Donald Trump on Saturday (Feb 28) said that he will offer immunity to members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its military and police forces “for now.” He claimed that many members of IRGC have decided not to fight for the regime. He said that he would hope that these members merge with those against the regime, calling them “Iranian patriots.” In a warning to IRGC and military, Trump said that they would face death if they continue to fight for the regime. At a time when Iran lost its most powerful person and amid calls of regime change, Trump's offer might be tempting for few, but at large, IRGC has vowed revenge and warned of “terrifying attacks at US bases.” “We are hearing that many of their IRGC, Military, and other Security and Police Forces, no longer want to fight, and are looking for Immunity from us…As I said last night, ‘Now they can have Immunity, later they only get Death! Hopefully, the IRGC and Police will peacefully merge with the Iranian Patriots, and work together as a unit to bring back the Country to the Greatness it deserves,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.

His death at his workplace, Fars said, disproved what it described as “enemy psychological warfare.” “His martyrdom at his workplace once again proved the unreality of these claims and the enemy's psychological warfare, and showed that he always stood fearlessly and courageously against arrogance among the people and in the stronghold of responsibility,” the agency reported.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/khamenei-s-daughter-son-in-law-and-granddaughter-killed-as-us-israel-strike-iran-state-media-1772326215188">Khamenei's daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter killed as US-Israel strike Iran: State media</a>&nbsp;In a broader tribute, the statement described Khamenei as a singular leader distinguished by purity of spirit, strength of faith, leadership resourcefulness, and steadfast resistance.

As part of the ongoing US‑Israel attacks on Iran, joint military strikes have hit multiple major Iranian cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Tabriz, Kermanshah, Karaj and Ilam, targeting military sites, government infrastructure and strategic installations across the country. Explosions were heard and smoke seen rising in urban areas, with reports of civilian casualties and widespread alert as residents were urged to evacuate key zones.


US-Israel Attack Iran: Most Major Iranian Cities Hit by Israeli and American Strikes

US President Donald Trump has taken one of the boldest risks of his presidency, launching a sweeping US air assault on Iran with limited groundwork laid at home for the consequences of a potentially prolonged Middle East conflict. If reports of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei prove accurate, the strike could trigger a historic turning point. The removal of the Islamic Republic’s most powerful figure may open the door to the collapse of a regime long accused of brutally suppressing dissent, including crackdowns that left thousands dead during protests in recent months.&nbsp;“This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after backing Israeli reports that Khamenei, whom he called “one of the most evil people in history”, was killed in an airstrike. Iran’s Foreign Ministry had earlier insisted that Khamenei was safe.

Is Trump winning after strikes on Tehran or will his Iran gamble backfire?

US President Donald Trump has taken one of the boldest risks of his presidency, launching a sweeping US air assault on Iran with limited groundwork laid at home for the consequences of a potentially prolonged Middle East conflict. If reports of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei prove accurate, the strike could trigger a historic turning point. The removal of the Islamic Republic’s most powerful figure may open the door to the collapse of a regime long accused of brutally suppressing dissent, including crackdowns that left thousands dead during protests in recent months. “This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their Country,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after backing Israeli reports that Khamenei, whom he called “one of the most evil people in history”, was killed in an airstrike.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the missile launchers and air defenses were struck in western and central Iran.
