On today's show, the US and Israel strike Iran, prompting retaliation across the region.

As of right now,
American and Israeli forces have reportedly launched airstrikes and bombing runs on more than 2,000 targets across Iran.
According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, more than 200 people have been killed in the attacks.
Iranian state media reported that an Israeli strike on a girls' elementary school accounted for the majority of those deaths.
In response, Iran has launched retaliatory strikes on targets across the Middle East.
In a video message released on Sunday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S.
