The Iranian regime faces pressure as Israel strikes military targets, with Iranian Americans advocating for the overthrow of what one Iranian American describes as a "paper tiger regime."

TREY YINGST, FOX NEWS: 65 total missiles were fired at Israel overnight. The Israelis struck back, killing the head of Iran's intelligence agency and his deputy. The Israelis also say they have taken out one-third of ballistic missile launchers.

Ghorbani, who left his home country in 2014, praised Israel's strikes: "They are everything the Iranian people have dreamed of for the past 46 years."

At least 24 people have been killed in Israel as Iran launched retaliatory airstrikes targeting civilian areas. A U.S. Embassy branch in Tel Aviv suffered minor damage.

The Islamic Republic of Iran News Network, part of Iran's state TV broadcaster, says it has been attacked by Israel, according to reports in Reuters. It follows threats earlier today from the Israeli defence minister, who said the state broadcaster was "about to disappear".

Israeli President Isaac Herzog joins 'America's Newsroom' to discuss the latest escalation with Iran.
