For many people in Iran, the airstrikes unfolded just as the workweek was getting underway.

NPR's Arzu Rezvani reports on how residents in Tehran reacted as news of the attacks spread.

This is NPR News in Washington.

It was a dramatic week on Wall Street as investors worried about AI and the broader economy.

NPR's Maria Aspin reports all three major indices fell from a week earlier, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling more than 1%.

NASA says it's reshaping its Artemis moon program following delays tied to repairs on the agency's Orion spacecraft.

The agency says the Artemis II lunar flyby mission is now postponed until at least April.

Then instead of a lunar landing attempt, the follow-up Artemis III mission will focus on testing a lunar lander in Earth orbit with astronauts on board.

NASA says that could pave the way for one or possibly two astronaut moon landings in 2028.

The United States and Israel have carried out airstrikes against Iran.

In a video posted on social media, President Trump said U.S.

forces had begun what he described as major combat operations inside the country.

Trump said the objective is to defend the American people by eliminating what he calls imminent threats from the Iranian regime.

A person briefed on the operation tells NPR that Israel targeted Iran's supreme leader and president trying to assassinate them.

Israel has declared a special state of emergency, saying retaliatory attacks are expected.

Sirens sounded across the region today as defense forces warned Israeli civilians to prepare for the possibility of incoming missile fire.

Iran's foreign ministry calls the airstrikes by the U.S.

and Israel a gross violation of Iran's national sovereignty.
