Iran and Iranian-backed militias fired missiles at Israel while Israel and the United States pounded targets in Iran as the war expanded.
Israel has sent troops into southern Lebanon and told residents of more than 80 villages to evacuate as the Iran-backed militant Hezbollah group said it was ready for an “open war” with Israel in the wake of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Tuesday's development came after Hezbollah fired rockets and launched drones toward northern Israel the previous day. Israel retaliated with a wave of airstrikes that killed 40 people in Lebanon, including a Palestinian militant and a Hezbollah intelligence official in Beirut’s southern suburbs. A Hezbollah official, Mohamoud Komati, said Israel wanted a war and added: So let it be an open war.”
A gunman shot and killed three people and wounded more than a dozen others outside a bar in a busy nightlife district near the University of Texas at Austin before police fatally shot him. The FBI says it’s investigating the assault early Sunday as a potential act of terrorism, coming after the U.S. and Israel launched an attack on Iran. The suspect was wearing clothes with an Iranian flag design and the words “Property of Allah.” One student who had spent his evening at the bar said it was “full of college students” who were “enjoying their nights.”

Iranian Red Crescent Society says at least 787 people in Iran have been killed in US-Israeli airstrikes in war so far.

The war in the Middle East has spiraled further as Israel and the U.S. pounded Iran, while Tehran and its allies hit back. Iran has long threatened to drag the region into total war, including targeting Israel, the Gulf Arab states and the flow of crude oil crucial for global energy markets. All of these came under attack on Monday. The intensity of the attacks, the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the lack of any apparent exit plan indicate the conflict will not end anytime soon. The Iranian Red Crescent Society says at least 555 people have been killed in Iran so far by the U.S.-Israeli campaign.

The war in the Middle East spiraled further as Israel and the U.S. pounded Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump said the campaign would likely take several weeks, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the “hardest hits are yet to come.” Tehran and its allies hit back Monday against Israel, neighboring Gulf states and targets, including energy facilities in Qatar and the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia. The intensity of the attacks, the killing of Iran's supreme leader, and the lack of any apparent exit plan indicated the conflict would not end anytime soon. Israel launched retaliatory attacks in Lebanon after Hezbollah fired missiles at it, and an Israeli military official did not rule out another ground invasion.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has spoken to widening concerns the U.S.-Israeli strikes in Iran could spiral into a protracted regional conflict by declaring: “This is not Iraq. This is not endless.” Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine on Monday held the Trump administration’s first news briefing since Saturday’s strikes. Trump, Hegseth and Caine haven't suggested any exit plan or offered signs the conflict would end anytime soon. They've said more American casualties are likely following the deaths of six service members. Hegseth says the operation is meant to eliminate the threat of Iranian ballistic missiles, destroy the country’s navy and ensure “no nukes.”
