  • It's almost three days into the U.S.

  • and Israel's massive military action against Iran, with 2,000 targets hit since the strikes began.

  • So far, more than 550 Iranians have been killed,

  • according to the humanitarian organization the Red Crescent.

  • And Iran has hit back with force.

  • Here's our colleague Suna Rasmussen.

  • Almost immediately after the attacks started over the weekend,

  • we saw Iran responding by attacking Arab countries in the Gulf.

  • In fact, they've attacked every single country in the Gulf.

  • — And many others in Israel took cover as air raid sirens rang out after Tehran vowed revenge for the killing of its supreme leader.

  • Explosions have so far been reported across several US air bases in the region,

  • including in Bahrain, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates.

  • Several deaths have been reported after those Iranian strikes,

  • including in Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

  • And I think that's to show both the US, Israel, the world,

  • and to show the neighbors in the Middle East that if Iran is attacked,

  • they want to show the countries in the region that they can't attack.

  • Iran without ramifications.

  • If there's a long-term, full-blown war in Iran,

  • that's obviously very dangerous for the Iranian people.
