Here’s the latest
• US and Israel attack Iran: The US and Israel launched strikes on Iran Saturday morning after what the Israeli military said was months of “close and joint planning.” Israel said its strikes targeted Iran’s supreme leader, president and head of the armed forces. The US is also planning for several days of attacks, sources tell CNN.
• Trump calls for regime change: President Donald Trump described the US military campaign as “massive and ongoing,” warned American lives may be lost, and called on Iranians to “take over your government.” He also accused Tehran of working to rebuild its nuclear program after massive US strikes last summer he previously claimed had obliterated the facilities. Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
• Iran retaliates: Iran responded to the attacks by launching an unprecedented wave of strikes toward Israel and US targets across the Middle East. Explosions were reported in a number of countries including the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar.
