Pentagon chief described Iran’s missile attack as an ‘outrageous act of aggression’

Iran has launched nearly 200 missiles at Israel which it says is in response to the assassination of the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah as well as a top Iranian commander.
Israel says a response is coming but Iran warns it is ready to attack again, if provoked.
Some of those Iranian missiles reportedly landed close to the headquarters of Mossad in northern Tel Aviv.
US military officials have confirmed that two naval destroyers were used to intercept some of Iran's missiles.
Al Jazeera’s Phil Lavelle has more from Washington, DC.
