This might go on for days, maybe weeks, correct?

Now, at the time of this recording, there are no reported casualties of U.S.

But there may be coming and he's saying, look, this is a noble cause.

So what are the goals of these military strikes, these initial strikes from the U.S.

?

One of the big questions here, of course, is how will Iran respond?

We've seen some retaliatory strikes.

How successful have those been and what do we expect to see in the coming days?

So we've already seen the fallout of this starting to affect other countries in the region.

What about the global response to this operation so far, including American allies?

Well, like you said, some surprises there.

Now, what about here back home?

What has the response been so far on Capitol Hill?

Not unpredictable responses from Democrats there.

Now, as to why this operation took place now, that's going to be a lot of the debate on Capitol Hill going forward.
