Reports said the initial wave hit multiple sites inside Iran, and some coverage suggested senior Iranian leadership figures were among the intended targets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"645\">President Donald Trump framed the operation as \u201cmassive and ongoing,\u201d warning that American casualties were possible. He also openly urged Iranians to \u201ctake over your government,\u201d signaling a push for regime change rather than a limited military objective.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"647\" data-end=\"994\">Iran retaliated with a large, unprecedented wave of missile and drone attacks aimed at Israel and U.S. interests across the region. Explosions and air-defense activity were reported in several Middle Eastern countries, with heightened security and disruptions spreading beyond the immediate Israel\u2013Iran arena.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1361\">The situation is rapidly evolving, with fresh strikes and counter-strikes expected to shape the next several days. The biggest immediate risks being monitored are further escalation across multiple fronts, threats to U.S. bases and partners in the region, and spillover effects on aviation, energy markets, and civilian safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran early Saturday after what Israeli officials described as months of close joint planning.
