Israel and Iran
Tensions in the Middle East are way up after President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Iran nuclear deal. Now Israel, one of the U.S.'s key allies in the region, has accused Iran's Revolutionary Guards—in Syria to support President Bashar al-Assad—of firing 20 rockets at its positions in the Golan Heights last night. In response, the Israelis conducted a series of air strikes on Iran's military infrastructure in Syria. Israel occupied the Syrian Golan Heights in 1967, and its subsequent annexation of the territory is not recognized internationally. BBC
