What to know about the Iran war:
- The U.S. military said it conducted “self-defense strikes” against Iran in response to attacks across the Middle East on Tuesday. The U.S. said all of Iran’s strikes failed to reach their targets.
- A senior Iranian military officer said earlier Tuesday that a return to hostilities in the war with the U.S. seems “inevitable,” as “the Iranian nation will never surrender.”
- President Trump said Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “turned his troops around” in Lebanon following a reportedly expletive-laden phone call between the leaders. Israel and Hezbollah clashed overnight despite Mr. Trump saying they agreed to halt fighting ahead of a new round of Israel-Lebanon talks in Washington.
