Iran live updates: 7th killed service member is identified

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his first remarks on the strikes said in a statement that Israel and the U.S. "embarked on an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran."

Calling it Operation "The Roar of the Lion," Netanyahu thanked President Donald Trump "for his historic leadership."

Netanyahu added: "This murderous terrorist regime must not be armed with nuclear weapons that would allow it to threaten all of humanity."

He called on the Iranian people to "throw off the yoke of tyranny," saying, "Our joint action will create the conditions for the courageous Iranian people to take their destiny into their own hands."

The U.S. embassy in Qatar is warning Americans in the country of imminent missile strikes.

"Missile incoming. Imminent missile strikes. Duck and cover until further notice. Continue to shelter in place," the notice said.

In a post on social media, the Pentagon posted the name of the military operation: "Operation Epic Fury."

Three U.S. officials confirm that the operation is expected to potentially last for several days with targets including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military sites, government buildings, Iranian intelligence assets and defense installations.
