Iran launched a direct military assault on Israel, firing over 300 drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles Saturday in response to an Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic facility in Syria. Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton discusses the challenges Israel faces as it prepares to potentially retaliate against Iran. In a stern message for the West, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the West could not stop it from building nukes. The US-led West and Iran are at loggerheads over Tehran's nuclear programme. The world appears resigned to the inevitability that a dash towards the first batch of Iranian nuclear weapons would either be tolerated, or stopped, by an Israeli military strike.
