Explosions are sounding in Iran’s capital city as its war with the U.S. and Israel enters a fifth day. Iranian state television reported explosions in Tehran at dawn Wednesday. In Israel, air defenses were activated due to incoming missile fire from Iran and explosions were heard over Jerusalem. Five days into a war that U.S. President Donald Trump suggested could last a month or longer, nearly 800 people have been killed in Iran, including some Trump said he had considered as possible future leaders of the country. Air sirens sounded in the morning across the island kingdom of Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet. Qatar’s Ministry of Defense said Iran hit Al-Udeid Qatari Base with a missile, but didn’t cause casualties.
