The US and Israel have launched major joint military strikes on Iran. This started today with attacks on cities like Tehran and other targets, including Iran's leadership (Supreme Leader, president, military heads).President Trump called it "major combat operations" (sometimes named Operation Epic Fury) to stop Iran's nuclear and missile threats. He urged Iranians to "take over your government" and said it's their chance for freedom.
Iran hit back quickly with missiles toward Israel and US bases in places like Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia. Explosions reported in Israel, Gulf countries, and flights canceled in Dubai.
Situation is very tense — air raid sirens in Israel, shelters in use, and possible more attacks coming (US plans several days of operations).
World reactions: Russia called it dangerous aggression; many countries worried about wider war. UN meetings called.
Other headlines are much smaller compared to this:Some reports of civilian casualties (e.g., Iran claims school hit).
Travel warnings for US citizens in the region (shelter in place in Israel, caution in Saudi Arabia, etc.).
