Hundreds of civilians, mostly in Iran, have been killed by dueling airstrikes despite international pleas for de-escalation.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel unleashed airstrikes across Iran for a third day on Sunday and threatened even greater force as some Iranian missiles evaded Israeli air defenses to strike buildings in the heart of the country. Planned talks on Iran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program, which could provide an off-ramp, were canceled.

Israel's attack on Iran raises questions like whether the US will get involved, how Iran will respond, and if a wider conflict may be triggered.

Auburn University‘s men’s basketball coach, Bruce Pearl, is strongly condemning those who do not support Israel’s strikes on Iran. Early Friday morning, Israel launched a wave of strikes targeting Iranian nuclear sites and military command personnel claiming it was to neuter Iran’s nuclear program.

As a longtime enemy attacks an oppressive government, Iranians are cycling through conflicting emotions: hope and hopelessness, celebration and trepidation.
