Netanyahu says he won't tolerate attacks on northern Israel.

Trump is telling him not to escalate in Lebanon because that's making it harder for Trump to get a deal with Iran.

Well, not really.

Trump said again last night he thinks there's a good chance of a deal in two or three days, but it's not clear why.

Iran's decision to fire on Israel was a bold move.

It could have spiraled out of control very quickly.

So this episode demonstrates Iran feels it's in a strong position, and combined with the aggressive statements we see every day from Iranian officials, Iran just doesn't seem to be in the mood or the position for the kind of compromises Trump is demanding.

That is.

Greg, thank you.

Sure thing, Michelle.

The Iranian missiles targeted northern Israel, where warning sirens rang out Sunday night.

The Israeli military said shortly afterward it had shot down all the incoming missiles.

Falling debris ignited brush fires, but no damage or injuries were reported.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said it targeted an Israeli airbase outside the city of Haifa.

Iran warned earlier it might act due to ongoing Israeli attacks against Hezbollah, the Lebanese militant group closely allied with Iran.

Israel's military spokesman said Iran had made a, quote, grave mistake.

The latest fighting further complicates the already difficult effort to work out an end to the war in Iran.
