00:07the military campaign comes to an end.
00:09America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force. Now is the time to seize control of your destiny.
00:17Clouds of smoke hung over the capital, Tehran, following reports of major explosions.
00:22And now the region is on high alert for Iran's response.
00:25The Islamic Republic targeted U.S. bases and interests across the Gulf, the Tasneem News Agency said, in a significant
00:33escalation.
00:35Israel declared a state of emergency, and the IDF reported that several missiles had been intercepted.
00:41Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of difficult days to come.
00:45Trump said the U.S. intends to destroy Iran's missile inventory and navy and acknowledge the possibility of U.S.
00:52casualties as part of the actions.
00:53The attacks come two days after delegations from the Islamic Republic and the U.S. met in Switzerland for a
00:59third round of negotiations on Iran's nuclear activities.
01:02It's now clear those diplomatic efforts failed.
01:05Oil traders also on high alert for Iran's retaliation and whether Tehran moves to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, a
01:11key passageway for 25 percent of the world's seaborne oil.
01:14Iranian and Israeli airspace has been closed, with disruption to air travel likely.
01:18The operation is expected to continue for several days, according to a U.S. official.
