Israel strikes back at Iran with 'limited' response, fuels optimism of avoiding wider war

Israel followed through on its promise to strike back at Iran, hitting close to a military base about 200 miles south of Iran’s capital. U.S. officials might have gotten a last-minute heads up on Israel’s retaliatory strike on Iran but denied involvement. "The United States has not been involved in any offensive operations. What we're focused on is what the G7 is focused on. And again, it's reflected in our statement and in our conversation is our work to deescalating tensions," said Secretary of State Antony Blinken while in Italy for G7 meetings.
