Event Summary

This incident occurred hours after Donald Trump announced 'major combat operations' by the United States in Iran, and Israel's defense minister declared a 'preventative attack' against Iran. In retaliation, Iran launched missile strikes against Israel and US military targets across the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait.
