We are going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally obliterated. We are going to annihilate their navy.

It was a little before 10 o'clock on a bright Tehran morning when the first missiles struck, arriving out of a clear blue sky. Blasts were heard in cities across Iran as the United States and Israel carried out multiple strikes. In a video message on social media, President Trump accused the Iranian regime of waging an unending campaign of bloodshed and mass murder targeting the United States.

202.227 - 214.529 Donald Trump

The armed forces and all of the police, I say tonight that you must lay down your weapons and have complete immunity or in the alternative face certain death.

215.018 - 238.88 Donald Trump

and he urged the people of Iran to use the opportunity to overthrow the Ayatollah and his regime. To the great proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.

This will be probably your only chance for generations. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also had a message for the people of Iran.

249.359 - 279.346 Alex Ritson

This is the Global News Podcast. The US government went ahead with its military action without seeking approval from Congress. Here's Helena Humphrey in Washington.

Let me just run you through what some of the lawmakers have had to say. Starting off with Lindsey Graham. He is a Republican senator. He is an ally of Donald Trump. And essentially his message, which he's posted on X, is that he believes that this is an opportunity to reshape the Middle East. He says that he expects this campaign to be a violent one, but ultimately he expects it to be

You can compare and contrast that with what we've heard from another Republican, a congressman Thomas Massey, who is a critic of Donald Trump. And he has called this an act of war unauthorized by Congress. Certainly there had not been a congressional vote on any of these strikes. Just some other reaction to bring you now. Ro Khanna, he is a democratic lawmaker and he has called for a vote on Monday. He said that lawmakers...

1441.73 - 1458.098 Helena Humphrey

must come to Washington, they must vote on this, they must put their names on the records with regards to where they stand on these strikes. And then we've also heard from the vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, that is Mark Warner, and essentially what his message has been...

1458.352 - 1485.638 Helena Humphrey

In a statement he says that we have heard claims of urgency of American intelligence before, clearly referencing previous wars, Iraq for example being one of them, and saying that the president must answer questions with regards to the objective here. Basically saying if President Trump can come out and put a video on his social media platform, an eight minute video in which he has warned that there could be

1485.638 - 1513.347 Helena Humphrey

American casualties. That justification needs to be there. Now, certainly we know that Donald Trump has spoken not just about a failure of a nuclear deal, but he has also spoken about ending what he calls a campaign of bloodshed against Americans. But in terms of that objective, he also spoke to the Iranian people, didn't he? He said, you know, stay inside for the time being, but when it is safe to do so, come out, rise up, topple

1513.347 - 1537.259 Helena Humphrey

The Iranian regime. And I think the greater backdrop to all of this is what we had seen in recent weeks, when we had seen that brutal crackdown on protesters in Iran. And Donald Trump had said to them, help is on the way, prompting many people to ask in recent weeks, well, where is that help? Donald Trump clearly there speaking to the Iranians as well, saying, this will be your opportunity.
