President Donald Trump has no plans to address the American people Saturday after the United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran, the White House said.
A White House official denied reports of a planned address by Trump, who overnight posted a video to his Truth Social platform announcing the attacks and calling for regime change in Tehran.
“This reporting was inaccurate, the White House has not given any guidance on an address or remarks today,” the official told reporters.
