• Israel launched direct strikes against Iran Saturday morning, in a high-stakes retaliation to Tehran’s ballistic missile barrage earlier this month. The Israeli military said it hit “precise” military targets and an Israeli military source told CNN the strikes did not include energy infrastructure.

• Iran has said it is “entitled” to defend itself following the attacks. Iranian media appears to be downplaying the strikes, saying military sites in three provinces were hit, but damage was “limited.” The army, though, has said two soldiers were killed.
