Israel has launched fresh air strikes on Tehran and expanded attacks to Hezbollah targets in Lebanon while President Trump says the U.S. and Israeli campaign against Iran could last weeks. The strikes hit Hezbollah sites in Beirut's southern suburbs after the group fired missiles and drones at Israel in retaliation for killing Iran's. Some leader Ali Kaminay, Israel reports establishing air superiority over Tehran and targeting key command centers there.

The Israeli military intercepted some projectiles from Lebanon and warned villagers to evacuate, blaming Hezbollah for any escalation. Meanwhile, air raid sirens blared across Israel as Iran sent new missile barrages. The first U.S. casualties hit hard, with three service members killed at a base in Kuwait.
