Israel has launched a retaliatory strike against Iran. U.S. officials confirm missiles have struck a number of locations inside Iran, with several explosions reported near an airbase in the city of Isfahan, home to a number of sites linked to Iran's nuclear program. The International Atomic Energy Agency says it can confirm that none of the sites sustained any damage. Oil prices surged three dollars a barrel overnight after Israel's attack before easing a bit. Concerns over the potential disruption of Middle East oil was behind the jump. Israel's actions were in retaliation for an Iranian attack on Israel last weekend, itself a retaliation for an Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic compound in Syria.

Taylor Swift is releasing a second installment to her new album, "The Tortured Poets Department."

Prince William is returning to public duties for the first time since his wife's cancer diagnosis. On Thursday, he visited a food charity and youth center. William has been absent from official engagements ever since Kate Middleton revealed last month that she was undergoing chemotherapy. The Princess of Wales will reportedly return to public duties once her medical team gives her the okay.
