As Iran retaliates, largest US military base in Middle East hit by ballistic missile, Qatar says

No one was injured, according to the Qatari Ministry of Defense.

President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Saturday, with daytime strikes in the joint U.S.-Israel attack targeting military and government sites, officials said.

On Sunday, Iranian state television confirmed that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was among those killed by airstrikes in Tehran on Saturday.

Iran is responding to the U.S.-Israeli operation with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel, regional U.S. bases and Gulf nations. American diplomatic facilities have also been attacked.

In Lebanon, Israel is intensifying its long-running strike campaign against the Iranian-aligned Hezbollah militia.

House likely to hold vote Thursday on resolution to restrain Trump's power

On a call with Republicans on Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson told lawmakers a vote on the war powers resolution will likely be held on Thursday, two sources told ABC News.

Democrats and a handful of Republicans have demanded a vote on the resolution, which would require Congressional approval before the president orders any further military action in Iran. The measure is sponsored by Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky.

ABC News has learned that Republican leadership is urging members to vote against it. Johnson also reminded Republicans on the call that attendance is important. With a razor-thin majority, Johnson can only afford to lose one vote if all members are voting and present.

While there is some bipartisan support for the war powers resolution, Republicans have the majority in the House and the president has veto power.

Johnson also told Republicans he plans to hold another vote this week on Dept. of Homeland Security funding, as the partial government shutdown continues.

Oil prices spike, Dow futures fall 500 points

Oil is trading at $72.39 a barrel, up 8% since the attacks in Iran took place.

This comes as Rystad Energy says that traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is at a virtual standstill.

Dow futures are down about 500 points as of Sunday night.

The most important question for oil markets is what happens in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important chokepoints for oil. Roughly 20% of the world’s oil passes through the Strait, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

According to the EIA, the strait is deep enough and wide enough to handle the world's largest crude oil tankers. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have some infrastructure in place that can bypass the Strait of Hormuz, which may mitigate any transit disruptions through the strait.
