On Saturday, the United States and Israel conducted joint airstrikes dubbed Operation Epic Fury and Roaring Lion, hitting sites near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound in Tehran, plus Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, and more, to neutralize Iran's nuclear and missile threats after failed talks. Trump addressed the nation, calling them major combat operations, while Netanyahu praised the effort against a terrorist regime; Reza Pahlavi, son of Iran's last shah, labeled it a humanitarian intervention and called for uprisings. Iran retaliated with missiles and drones at Israel and U.S. bases across the Gulf, causing limited casualties, as reactions split from joy among some Iranians to international condemnations and partisan divides in the U.S.

The league handed Brooks a one-game ban without pay after the call came with 6:37 left in the second quarter of Phoenix's 136-109 defeat to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. He'll miss the Suns' Feb. 19 road game against the San Antonio Spurs, costing him about $121,403 from his $21.1 million salary. Brooks leads the NBA with 16 techs this season—tops ahead of Luka Doncic's 13—and vented postgame about inconsistent officiating from ref James Williams, saying refs see him as either victim or bad guy. For a .500 Suns team chasing playoffs, his edge on defense matters, but the tech pace raises discipline questions as he returns Feb. 21 versus the Magic.
