Indian-American venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani revealed she spent two hours dining with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on the night the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes against Iran. Among approximately 20 guests, Motwani witnessed senior officials including Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, Pete Hegseth, and Steve Witcoff moving between the "war room" and Trump's residential area. Phones were strictly banned. She described the atmosphere as confident and historically significant. The strikes, codenamed "Operation Epic Fury," launched February 28, killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and multiple senior figures. Iran has since retaliated with missile attacks across the Gulf. Four US service members and at least 555 Iranians have been killed.
