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 notification stood in contrast to past military actions President Trump has undertaken unilaterally without consulting with Congress, drawing bipartisan anger.

The United States and Israel have declared their war aim as paving the way for a popular uprising against the government in Tehran.
Following the attack, Democrats and a few Republicans escalated their calls for swift votes on whether to curb the president’s power to continue using force against Iran without explicit authorization.
The government provided little advice in the days before the attacks or as the bombs fell, more than a dozen Iranians said in interviews.
People across the country took cover from Iran’s retaliatory strikes. “Oh, I did not miss this sound,” one woman said of the air raid alerts.
