Iran launched its first-ever attack from Iranian territory on Israel on Saturday night with a salvo of hundreds of drones and missiles that turned a long-running shadow war into a direct conflict.
The slow-moving, telegraphed attack drew a robust military defense from Israel, the U.S. and other allies and resulted in minimal damage on the ground. But it was a game-changer.
Biden Urges Caution as Israel Weighs Response to Iran
TEL AVIV-President Biden urged Israel to use caution in any response to Iran's unprecedented attack and pressed allies Sunday for a united diplomatic front in a bid to stop the hostilities from spiraling into open warfare that could engulf the Middle East and entangle the U.S.
The race to de-escalate tensions underscored the intense new phase that Iran and Israel's long-simmering conflict had entered after Tehran launched what military analysts said was one of the largest combined aerial attacks in recent history with more than 300 drones and missiles.
