Iran and Israel continued to exchange attacks into Monday amid the latest round of conflict between the two nations.

"American Forces are maintaining their defensive posture & that has not changed," the chief Pentagon spokesperson said.

Haifa and Tel Aviv struck by Iranian missiles as U.S. embassy in Israel directs government employees and families to shelter in place at home.

Iran and Israel continued on Sunday their aerial attacks, which began Friday with a series of Israeli strikes on Iran.

Despite stunning early successes in Israel’s unprecedented strikes on Iran, a weekend of intensive bombardment and retaliation is raising questions about Israel’s exit strategy – how it can end this conflict with its ambitious goals achieved.

The Israel-Iran conflict has escalated into its fourth day with mounting casualties, widening attacks, and no sign of diplomatic resolution.

After striking back on Friday night, Iran launched a new wave of strikes toward Israel on Saturday morning. Now, the two countries continue to exchange deadly missiles and threats, with fatalities and injuries reported on both sides.

President Donald Trump is urging Iran to make a nuclear deal now that Israel has launched strikes against the country.
