By Lara Seligman and Alexander Ward

President Trump is expected to address the nation on Saturday, according to two U.S. officials, after American and Israeli airstrikes began pounding Iran and Iranian missiles targeted U.S. bases in the Gulf in retaliation.

Trump is expected to speak about the campaign against Iran, which started early Saturday morning, the two officials said.

Earlier, in a video statement announcing the strikes, Trump described the operation as "massive and ongoing." In the eight-minute video, Trump called on the Iranian people to "take over your government" after the strikes end.
