Despite stunning early successes in Israel’s unprecedented strikes on Iran, a weekend of intensive bombardment and retaliation is raising questions about Israel’s exit strategy – how it can end this conflict with its ambitious goals achieved.

Israel and Iran both have little incentive to stop and no obvious route to outright victory. Much depends on President Trump.

LE BOURGET—Israel says it used the naval Barak Magen and the long-range air defense interceptor during its conflict with Iran, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

The Iron Dome is designed to protect Israeli citizens by launching guided missiles to intercept incoming rockets and other short-range threats in mid-air.

Hundreds of civilians, mostly in Iran, have been killed by dueling airstrikes despite international pleas for de-escalation.

The Israeli military said that its air force has struck a number of command centers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. It said that the command centers, which were in Tehran, were used to direct proxy groups to launch attacks against Israel.

Leaders in Washington and Tehran appear to be jostling over red lines to keep their countries out of a direct confrontation.

The deadly conflict between Israel and Iran has entered a fourth day, with both sides firing waves of missiles overnight. Follow for live updates.
