So over the weekend, the Islamic Republic of Iran essentially entered war directly with the state of Israel.

There's no other way to put that.

When you fire 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles at another sovereign nation,

were shot over the state of Israel on Saturday night. This is about 1.45 a.m. Saturday night in
