At least three US service members have been killed and five more seriously wounded in the US and Israel's joint attack on Iran, according to US Central Command. This comes after Iran launched retaliatory attacks against Israeli and US military bases in several countries. At least nine people have died in a direct Iranian missile strike on a residential area near Jerusalem, marking the deadliest incident in Israel since Iran began retaliating to a wave of joint US-Israel strikes. The long journey to reach Israel, described by CNN's Erin Burnett, is described as an "an entire region on hold for the war".
