Israel's widespread airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program are stoking fears of a larger confrontation.

Israel strikes Iran after neutralizing Hezbollah as Tehran’s response falters, exposing deep regional shifts and vulnerabilities.

"Hezbollah is committed to the ceasefire agreement, even though Israel has not respected this commitment over the past period," the spokesperson said. "It continues to kill, assassinate, and attack areas, including entering border villages and remaining at the five points."

Republicans and some Democrats offered strong support for Israel’s move, but many Democrats called for de-escalation and warned of the consequences of a broader war.

Israel has carried out a strike against Iran. The strike came hours after U.S. and Israeli officials had warned one was imminent. Follow along for live updates, news and analysis.

Even if Iran does not close the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israel's attacks, much of the maritime shipping industry may stay away given the risks.

Israel’s attacks on Iran renewed fears of war between the countries and immediately threatened the region’s economy.

Sirens sounded in Israel as the Israel's military said Iran launched ballistic missiles and more than 100 drones in what appeared to be the start of Iranian retaliation for Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities.
