Iran Strikes Israel, Hits Airbases, US Pleads No Israel Response; Ukr Troop Surrenders, Chasov Yar (Alexander Mercouris)

Israel claims damage from the Iranian missiles was minor, while the Iranians say the damage they caused was significant - to Israeli airbases. The Israelis had plenty of notice when it came to these strikes. The Iranians notified the US before they launched. The attack appears to be more a show of force operation.

However, the problem for Iran is that Israel is likely to use this to justify another attack. 

In Ukraine the Russians continue as before, with better progress in terms of causing attrition and advancement across the battlefield.
