Iran launches wave of missiles at Israel

Iran on Tuesday launched a major missile attack on Israel, firing scores of rockets as air raids have sounded off in all parts of the country.

Sounds of explosions were heard in the cities of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The attack comes several days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a massive strike on southern Beirut, and comes amid Israeli cross border raids into Lebanon.

This is a developing story...

Another night of wondering whether I'll wake up to WW3 tomorrow.
- The good news is that afterward, some redneck drunkard scientist with a spare Titan II missile somewhere in Montana will give us warp drive.
  
  Huh what
  
  What's the reference of this
- It’ll happen when and if it happens. Enjoy today by taking care of yourself.
- WW3 technically started in 1947
Iran has the right to defend itself
This is ABSURD! Only ISRAEL is Allowed to Defend itself!
I was about to post that a US official said a strike from Iran was imminent

I didn't realize "imminent" meant just 3 hours...

Another video link POV of Nevatim Airbase getting bombed
Good, and justified
Is this gonna start world war 3?
- Not likely. How many similar Middle East conflicts have already happened since WWII? Why would this one be different
  
  They're both nuclear powers.
- We've been sliding into it for months.
  
  No we are not lol the middle east has been fighting for... Most of world history at this point
