Description:

After seven months of war in the Middle East, the world again held its breath when news emerged that Israel had struck inside Iran.

This followed an unprecedented attack by Iran on April 14, when it launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israeli military targets.

What appeared on Friday to be a major response from Israel, and a signal of potentially a significant escalation in the region, then gave way to conflicting reports and confusion.

So what actually occurred, and what might happen from here?

Today, digital foreign editor Chris Zappone on the history of tension between Iran and Israel, a proxy war, and what both sides seek to gain from conflict.
