Tensions escalate in West Asia after Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites. Iran retaliates with missile and drone attacks. The strikes follow concerns about Iran's nuclear program and failed negotiations.

There are growing tensions in the conservative movement over whether President Donald Trump should agree to a new nuclear deal with Iran or use force against it.

The most frightening scenario, considering the strategy Israel has employed in Lebanon, would be a series of attacks targeting lower-level figures, which could escalate to higher-level figures depending on the response or lack thereof, creating an even more frightening scenario than the current one.

The attacks bore the twin hallmarks of Israeli military actions under Netanyahu: Tactically brilliant but lacking any strategic vision

The president had asked Israel to hold off. Now he’s scrambling to make a deal in negotiations that have become even more complex.

They died in their own beds. Hossein Salami and Ali Shamkhani—Iran’s most senior military officers and the stewards of Iran’s nuclear weapons program—had spent years threatening Israel with destruction.

Iran appears ready to retaliate if it faces too much pushback. It says this could be “proportionate,” although that leaves many options open.
