BREAKING: Iran launches new wave of missiles towards Israel

The Israeli army shares a video of pilots flying over Iranian territory.

Rep. Joe Wilson:

War criminal Putin is killing Americans by providing Iran intel.

Russia must be held accountable for mass chaos and death.

UK Deputy PM David Lammy twice said "Cyprus is part of NATO," though the country is not a member.

Host: The UK could attack Iranian missile sites from our bases?

UK's Deputy PM David Lammy: In response to being attacked, yes, we can take down sites that are anticipating attacking our people across the region.

It is my understanding that that would be legal.

So it may be tempting to get discouraged. To give into cynicism. It may be tempting for some to compromise with power and... and grab what you can. Or even for good people to maybe just put your head down and wait for the storm to pass.

We see science and expertise denigrated while ignorance and dishonesty and cruelty and corruption are reaping untold rewards. Every single day we see that. And it's hard to hope in those moments.

Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

Each day we're told by those in high office to fear each other and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others. And that some don't even count at all.

Obama:

Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions.

Another setback to the idea of the rule of law. An offense to common decency. Every day you wake up to... to things you just didn't think were possible.

Joe Biden:

We're in a tough spot, folks.

We've got an administration that doesn't share any of the values that we have.

And I don't think I'm exaggerating a little bit.
