Has Prime Minister Netanyahu given any sense of how far along in this operation he thinks things are?

So President Trump, when he spoke to Americans today, he was facing cameras.

He was in Mar-a-Lago.

He was addressing Americans about an American military action.

He also had a message for Iran.

Greg Myrie, how should we understand this?

The president of the United States calling on the people of Iran, rise up.

So we are, of course, working to get reaction from inside Iran, try to figure out what is happening there.

I was swapping messages on WhatsApp this morning with contacts on the ground in Tehran.

They were not willing to go on the record, but

The fact that they could respond, they are on the Internet, or at least were at that hour.

They have access to social media if they're behind a VPN.

Our colleague and peers, Arzu Razvani, has also been in contact with people in Iran, among them a 30-something-year-old who we are identifying as V. V lives in Tehran, gave only his first initial because of fear of retribution.

He told Arzu he was settling into work when these attacks started.

Our zoo also reached a 22-year-old college student who requested complete anonymity.

She woke up to the sound of explosions.

She says this is a day she's long hoped for.

So she's saying there and I quote, I am ready to be killed by a bomb if it means the certain death of even a few of our regime officials.

So a little bit of reaction there from inside Iran.

Daniel, walk us through the stakes for the rest of the region.
