Iran has launched hundreds of drones, cruise and ballistic missiles. Iran says with this attack, it considers the matter concluded, and any Israeli response will be met with severe retaliation. Iran also tells the US to stay away and that if any regional nation is used to launch the Israeli response, they will be targeted, too.
Israel claims to have intercepted 99% of Iranian response, and the IDF says citizens no longer need to stay near shelters, suggesting the Iranian attack is over. They were helped by UK and US fighter jets in other countries. Israel says it will give “an unprecedented response”. Israel has told the US what their response will consist of.
UN Security Council to meet at 4 PM Eastern Time, Sunday. As of now, it seems all drones and missiles have been intercepted/hit their targets. The impact on Israel has been extremely minor, with minimal casualties and zero fatalities. A military target seems to have been hit. Now we wait for Israel's response.
Hopefully, that too is similarly limited and the situation calms down.

Per randos on Twitter, drones will reach in a few hours. It's not missiles or anything more substantial...yet (and hopefully never).
Edit - Hopefully, this is the only response. I can't stand the people cheering for this or wanting further escalation. Millions will die. I have no idea what Israel will do in retaliation for this retaliation. I don't even have any hopes they'll not respond. I just don't know.
It's crazy how short libs attention spans are. The embassy was bombed less than a week ago and they're acting like Iran is doing this out of the blue. I've seen enough videos and pictures of dead or maimed kids. I have as much pity for the average Israeli as I do for fucking Hitler.
bombing an embassy is a declaration of war
We need a sort of denazification for Israel at this point, settler-colonial ideology is so engrained that much of the civilian population needs reeducation. Heartbreaking as much as infuriating.
Convenient goldfish memory.
TBH I never even saw that news story, so you could probably assume the same about most people finding out about this news.
Seen Both goldfish and others saying actually iran started it years ago
PREACH
According to libs I know, Iran is the one who told Hamas to attack by order of Putin to distract the US from their goals in Ukraine, and because Iran supports Hamas they are a valid target
I wish I was kidding
Ive been hearing liberals cry about Iran for years now and I just ask them 'why would they want to attack us' and they never have an answer. Its mostly along the lines of 'they hate us' but won't go beyond that.
I am thankful that I spent a decade writing novels that specifically specialize in the difference between a protagonist and a "good guy." Now I can conceptualize of someone with different, perhaps antagonistic goals to my own without believing that they are evil and out to get me. I guess I've been taking the ability for granted and calling the lack of ability a deficiency.
I pray for Iran's swift return to peace after the horrifying attack on their embassy and, of course, a free Palestine. What a heartbreaking and terrible situation.
