For the first time in the long and shadowed history of their enmity, Iran launched a direct military strike against Israel — a threshold crossed on a Saturday in April 2024 that transformed months of proxy conflict into something more openly declared. The United States intercepted three Iranian attack drones before they could reach Israeli soil, while President Biden left his weekend retreat to convene his national security team in the Situation Room.
