Jacksonville, Fl — Israeli warplanes pounded Iran’s capital overnight as Iran launched a small barrage of missiles at Israel with no reports of casualties. An Iranian official warned that that any U.S. intervention in the conflict “would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region.” He did not elaborate, but thousands of American troops are based in nearby countries within range of Iran’s weapons. The U.S. has threatened a massive response to any attack.
Three Big Things to Know:
