Israel attacked Iran 's nuclear facilities in Iran early Friday morning .

Explosions were seen all across Iran , hitting Tehran , the main uranium enrichment facility in Natanz , Isfahan , Tabriz , Khondab and Khorammabad .

Israel says it wants Iran to cripple its nuclear program, preventing it from acquiring nuclear weapons.

The U.S. clearly had advance warning of the attacks.

Iran launched a barrage of drones at Israel , which were shot down by Israel 's defense systems.

Iran has moved quickly to get its top military brass replaced, and Khameini has wasted no time decrying Israel 's targeting of residential areas full of civilians.

The House narrowly approved a request from the White House to claw back funding for NPR and PBS .
