Israel bombs Iran and the World starts to pick sides!

Iran fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at central Tel Aviv Friday. Tehran launched fewer than 100 surface-to-surface missiles in two waves, and most of them were intercepted, Israel's military said. The strikes injured 34, said a spokesperson for Magen David Adom, which oversees Israel's emergency medical services. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Iran had “crossed a red line” by firing missiles at populated civilian areas in Israel.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei earlier said Israel “should expect severe punishment” for Israel's wide-ranging attack on the country’s nuclear program and military leadership. In waves of strikes that began early Friday local time and continued through the day, Israel killed the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and struck dozens of targets, pushing the region into a new conflict with uncertain consequences.

President Trump told The Wall Street Journal on Friday that he was aware of Israel’s plans to attack Iran: "Heads-up? It wasn’t a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on." Earlier, he urged Iran’s leadership to make a deal “before there is nothing left.”

Here’s what to know:

IRGC commander Hossein Salami and two other generals were killed, punching a hole in Tehran’s military leadership. Israel’s strikes killed 78 people and wounded more than 320, an Iranian official said.

Israel attacked the Fordow enrichment plant on Friday, meaning Israel struck the three core sites of Iran's nuclear program.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military operation would last “as many days as it takes.” Israel planned 14 days of operations, a senior Israeli official said.

Long before Israel’s attacks, agents smuggled explosive drones and other guided weapons into Iran, an official said.

Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz decided Monday that the attack would begin Friday local time, an official said.

The Dow fell 750 points and oil prices jumped 7% after Israel and Iran traded attacks.
