Middle East Conflict Escalates After Strikes on Iran and Retaliation Hits Israel

The world is witnessing scenes of destruction throughout the Middle East as the joint military attacks on Iran were launched by Israel and the United States, followed by deadly retaliation from the Islamic Republic. Missiles hit both Tel Aviv and Bet Shemesh in central Israel, killing at least 6 people and injuring dozens of others.

In a recorded video, President Trump urged Iranian citizens to take action, and they did – celebrating in the streets, toppling a statue of the Ayatollah, and encouraging Iranian police and militias to join them in regime change.
