The strikes targeted missile sites and command centers to protect U.S. forces and regional allies; Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks in multiple Middle Eastern countries.
- From Washington, D.C., the White House said the strikes targeted Iran's missile and maritime capabilities, and President Donald Trump sent an official notification to Congress on Tuesday.
- The administration said the strikes were intended to protect U.S. forces and the homeland, and Trump stated he acted pursuant to his constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and shared the report in accordance with the War Powers Resolution.

- The strikes and counterstrikes have increased risks to civilians and expatriates as Iran retaliates with ballistic missiles and drones against U.S. assets and regional allies, including Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, while world leaders urge de-escalation.
