President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israel strikes attack targeting military and government sites, officials said. Iranian state television confirmed that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was among those killed in Tehran on the first day of strikes.

Israel is also intensifying its long-running strike campaign against the Iran-backed Hezbollah militia in Lebanon.

"The Iranian regime's foreign minister claims that the United States is using one-way attack drones to attack Gulf countries and shifting the blame to Iran. LIE," a CENTCOM post on X on Sunday morning said. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed in an interview Sunday with the media outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that "the Americans had developed a drone similar to the Iranian 'Shahed' drone called 'Lucas,' which is used to target objectives in Arab countries." Araghchi said the information is currently being reviewed. The U.S. military has deployed its own one-way attack drones known as LUCAS, for Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System, in its attacks on Iran. "Iranian forces have launched thousands of drones AND missiles at its neighbors, indiscriminately targeting civilian hotels, commercial airports, residential communities and economic infrastructure. U.S. attack drones are only targeting Iranian military capabilities to eliminate threats posed to the region.
