After the United States entered the war between Israel and Iran by striking three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, the world is bracing for Iran’s response.

White House officials confirmed over the weekend that B-2 bombers dropped a number of Massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs — known as “bunker busters” — during the U.S. mission over Iran. President Trump said on Sunday said that “Monumental Damage was done to all Nuclear sites in Iran,”

On Monday, Israel launched further assaults throughout Iran today, hitting airports in western, eastern and central Iran as well as notorious Evin Prison in the capital, Tehran. The Israel Defense Forces said Monday that Israeli warplanes had also struck six airports in Iran, “as part of the effort to expand air superiority over Iranian skies,” targeting runways, various aircraft and underground hangers.

Iran also launched a new wave of missiles at Israel on Monday, sending people to bomb shelters across the country. Dozens of missiles were reportedly launched at Israel, with impacts in at least two sites in the northern port city of Haifa and on a road in the southern city of Ashdod.

The Iranian foreign minister met with President Vladimir Putin today in Russia, with whom he said Iran will coordinate its response to U.S. and Israeli strikes.
