Good morning. The world’s attention was on the Middle East yesterday as the United States and Israel continued their attack on Iran, which continued to retaliate by firing missiles at U.S. military bases, neighboring countries, and Israel. 

 

Here is the rundown from second day of the war:

  • In a recorded address to the nation, President Donald Trump called the U.S. operation in Iran the “duty and burden of a free people.”
  • President Donald Trump has agreed to open discussions with Iran’s newly established leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
  • Videos from Iran show people in different cities across the country celebrating in the streets.
  • Three U.S. service members have been killed and five more seriously wounded as part of the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, the U.S. military said on March 1.
  • The U.S. military sank nine Iranian navy ships and largely destroyed its naval headquarters, the president said.
  • U.S. and Israeli forces struck more than 1,000 targets within the first 24 hours of launching Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, according to U.S. Central Command.
