The United States and Israel launched an unprecedented joint attack on Iran with the stated intention to overthrow the Iranian regime Saturday. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian called the attacks on his country "unprovoked and illegal," and Iranian officials say that one strike hit a girls' school in Iran, killing more than 100. PBS News Hour co-anchors Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett hosted special coverage of the latest developments with correspondents Nick Schifrin, Liz Landers and Lisa Desjardins, analysis from Alan Eyre of the Middle East Institute, former diplomat and U.S. military officer Joel D. Rayburn and Holly Dagres of the Washington Institute for Near East Studies, and an on-the-ground report from special correspondent Reza Sayah in Tehran.
