An Israeli missile has hit Iran, two US officials have told the BBC’s US partner CBS News.

Iranian state media is reporting that flights have been suspended over several cities, according to Associated Press.

Iran has been on high alert after Israel said it would respond to an Iranian attack against it on Saturday night

    Iran was aggressive in their retaliation - how the fuck else would you describe launching rockets into another country?

    Whether that retaliation was justified is separate from the fact that it was aggressive.

      Au contraire, it was defense and very mild at that. If Israel can kill 40,000+ people because “wE hAvE a rIgHt tO dEfEnD oUrSeLvEs” Iran absolutely can volley some missiles in response to Zionist actions

        Neither is justified.

            It’s also extremely justified to respond to someone launching missiles at you. Are you really that much of an idiot that you can’t see how this ends or are you just arguing in bad faith?

              No? If you start the aggression and get a response can you actually fault the other party???

                Yea so about half a century ago Iran started some aggression against Isreal, or maybe Isreal’s existence was an aggressive move against Iran?

                I don’t know, which one was at fault originally?
