And an Iranian drone forced the shutdown of one of Saudi Arabia's largest oil facilities.

Well, the U.S.

and Israel say they are hitting hundreds of targets in Iran, and that includes key targets such as anti-aircraft defense systems, ballistic missiles and launchers, command and control centers.

President Trump said the military had also sunk nine Iranian warships, although CENTCOM only confirmed one.

Other targets include senior military and political figures in Iran, including the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Saturday.

Iran has responded with deadly strikes on Israel and attacking Gulf states.

And last night, the Iranian-backed militia Hezbollah in Lebanon launched rockets into Israel, which responded with airstrikes in Beirut and southern Lebanon, widening this war even further.

Mixed.

You know, NPR has spoken to a few people in Iran who say they're very happy about Khamenei's death.

And we're seeing on social media statues of Khamenei being pulled down by Iranians.

And people briefly took over a government building in one town.

But there were also huge crowds at pro-regime rallies mourning Khamenei's death and shouting death to America.

You know, in the wake of his killing, a temporary leadership council is being formed and will remain in place until a panel of Shia religious leaders makes a final decision on a new supreme leader.

Well, you know, Trump gave several justifications for attacking Iran, preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons and indicating he wanted regime change.

But he says the war will continue until his objectives are met.

You know, it's clear Trump doesn't want to get mired down in a protracted conflict in the Middle East.

And in an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, he said the military intends to sustain its assault on Iran for, quote, four to five weeks if necessary.

I spoke with Richard Fontaine, who's the CEO of the Center for a New American Security, and he says Trump reopening negotiations would be a sign that Iran is less of a threat and the U.S.

could get a better deal.
