Here are images from Iran, Israel and elsewhere in the Middle East.
President Trump has become increasingly willing to assert American power overseas, a decade after propelling himself to the highest office by promising to focus on “America first.”
The president made unsupported and exaggerated claims in a speech announcing the attack on Iran.
Critics say the president is violating the Constitution, and many Democrats and at least two Republicans in Congress say they must vote on whether to enter such a conflict.

The United States and Israel have declared their war aim as paving the way for a popular uprising against the government in Tehran.
The government provided little advice in the days before the attacks or as the bombs fell, more than a dozen Iranians said in interviews.
Governments around the world urged restraint after the United States and Israel launched a major assault, and Iran vowed retaliation.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the major assault launched by the United States and Israel.
Dozens of attacks were carried out by warplanes launched from bases and aircraft carriers in the region. President Trump said the targets included missile sites, Iran’s navy and nuclear facilities.
