U.S. officials have been told Israel is fully ready to launch an operation into Iran, multiple sources told CBS News.

The U.S. anticipates Iran could retaliate on certain American sites in neighboring Iraq. This is part of the reason the U.S. advised some Americans to leave the region earlier Wednesday, with the State Department ordering non-emergency government officials to exit Iraq due to "heightened regional tensions."

President Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is still planning to meet with Iran for a sixth round of talks on the country's nuclear program in the coming days.

Mr. Trump spoke about Iran at an appearance at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, telling reporters Americans were advised to leave the region "because it could be a dangerous place, and we'll see what happens." Mr. Trump also reiterated the U.S. did not want Iran to develop a nuclear weapon: "We're not going to allow that."

6. Netanyahu survived a vote of confidence today

By just one vote, but he's probably feeling a bit cocky.

It's also possible that some of the extremists backed him on the vote of confidence in return for a promise to attack Iran.

8. I would think destroying Gaza would be enough on their plate

Obama/Kerry's agreement with Iran was a good thing, so trump just couldn't leave it alone.
