This the planning stages? do you need more than a few hours if you are planning to respond? >> it depends. im not an expert on irans capabilities i would lean into they have significantly expended i great deal of resources with that first wave of attacks against israel with the 350 plus missiles and suicide drone attacks weve been talking about this for a couple of days now so iran is going to move some pieces into play. to understand the iranians, they think they are thoughtful and they are str...

Sending is we can reach it if we want to. >> david, i want you to respond as well. twitter earlier, guess just intimated and the idea that he doubted that israel used missiles, drones instead of missiles. but it was largely perhaps iran trying to minimize and be dismissive. maybe even mock and ridicule israels capabilities. it might not be obvious to the audience as to why the use of drones versus the missiles would be the subject? of ridicule well missiles would have a bigger impact right away ...

The news here for folks who are tuning in right now, three explosions have been heard near and army base inside of iran, near the city called isfahan. that is a very large city, the third largest in ron. its one where we know there is a nuclear base, but there is also a military base as well spider marks tell us more about what the military capabilities are in that area. and if there was something targeted there, what could it be? >> clearly, youre going to find a military capability, primarily ...

With us. we really appreciate your insights. sayyed urinalysis, as well, as well as the reporting. thank you thank you show me now from los angeles, retired us army major general mark the cali general could see it through good to see you, sir so were still this for tat cycle. we possibly with with iran and israel, it just seems its been put on hold for a time if this does continue, even if there is this de-escalation for a moment it seems were still just one miscalculation away from some kind of...

Old antiquated, or theyve since been upgraded in some ways using iranian capabilities and other capabilities but they probably pose a very limited threat to the israelis the only thing to keep in mind, laura, is that when it comes to the nuclear facilities in and around s5 on the one thats really important is the natano nuclear facility. and that is 120 kilometers or about 70 miles away from his behind. so if you strike the area around is fine. you are not going to be striking the city of isfaha...

Mohamed taha who are sitting in the studio. just a step back for a moment, this is all moving incredibly quickly for people. of course this all started with a conflict on 7 october in israel and then israels subsequent response in gaza. explain the links between iran and people in gaza. indeed, israel supporting —— supporting hamas, when the secretary general of hezbollah was speaking, he said without the iranian capabilities hamas would not reach that level of military. so it is obvious tha...

Situation across the middle east. it also gives the that same opportunity to say that they struck back against iran internally and then also send a message to the iranians that they have their nuclear facilities in the sights of israeli planes, drones and any sort of military capabilities the israelis are able to conduct. that is the message that israel wants send to iran, and theyre unlikely to comment on it publicly as part of a broader strategy to operate in the shadows. jonathan. >> and but ...

And targeted strikes spirit hitting the area of the central reason in iran roughly 200 miles away from the iranian capital of tehran. this is significant because located close to the capital but also near the nuclear facility. that site as we showed was not hit or affected. the strike though appeared to target the nearby iranian airbase. it shows israel has the capabilities to hit these very important sites when it wants. that is partly the message that israeli is trying to send out. they have t...

Broader conflict. i think the propaganda you are hearing from iran tonight suggests that they will possibly be looking for a face-saving way out to not have to get into this tit for tat and firing more missiles. remember as weve been reporting they only have between 10200 missile launcher -- missile launchers. they tried to hit israel... i think they are going to be assessing their capabilities, how they can move forward. i think we have to take a look at the nuclear program. the foreign ministe...
