Welcome to the News Hour. Israel pounded Tehran and Beirut today as Iran sent waves of missiles and drones throughout the Mideast, targeting Israel and Gulf nations.

President Trump again touted efforts toward a diplomatic solution even as the U.S. continues its attacks.

Peleg Ben Barak is a 27-year-old Australian-Israeli.

No doubt.

I mean, we're going to be evacuated to a hotel today, hopefully.
