Happy Monday! It’s time for “The TMI Show with Ted Rall and Manila Chan,” catching you up with the latest in the war between Iran and Israel. Iranian missiles slammed into Tel Aviv and Haifa, leveling homes and sparking alarm at the G7 summit—and glee among supporters of the Palestinians. In Petah Tikva, a residential building was scorched, windows shattered, and apartments wrecked, with four elderly residents killed and 87 injured. In the northern city of Haifa, 30 were wounded as fires raged near a power plant.
Iran’s state TV said the country fired over 100 missiles, retaliating for Israel’s surprise attack against Tehran’s nuclear research facilities and assassinations of top military officials. The Revolutionary Guards claimed that a new Iranian tactic fooled Israel’s defense systems. World leaders fear a wider Middle East war. Ted, who is a rare American to have visited Iran, and Manila unpack the stakes, controversies, and what’s next in this high-stakes showdown.
