What happened

Iran launched multiple waves of missiles at Israel, the Israeli military said, after U.S.

Why it matters

President Donald Trump postponed a threat to bomb the Islamic Republic’s power grid because of what he described as productive talks with Iranian officials.

Common ground

The missiles triggered air raid sirens in parts of Israel, including Tel Aviv, where blasts from interceptions were heard.
