Smoke and missiles have lit up the skies in Israel and Iran in a fierce standoff triggered by fears over Tehran’s expanding nuclear program. Since June 13, hundreds of military strikes have been exchanged as the two nations remain locked in a conflict that shows no signs of abating.

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.

Parts of Iran's nuclear network seem invulnerable without ground troops. Can Israel overcome that hurdle while minimizing danger to its own population?
