Israel launched air strikes on Iran in a retaliatory attack Saturday that could push the Middle East closer to a regional war. Israeli planes hit military bases, missile sites, and other systems in several Iranian regions in retaliation for a missile barrage earlier this month. Iran said two soldiers died in the attacks.

Explosions were heard in the Iranian capital, Tehran, as Israel's military said it conducted retaliatory strikes targeting missile-manufacturing facilities. The October 26 strikes are seen as retaliation for Iran's ballistic-missile attacks against Israel earlier this month.
