Security. were also committed to de-escalating. to trying to bring this tension to a close. you saw as well or you seal soon into the g-7 statement. a commitment to hold iran to account. to account for its destabilizing activities. holding it to account by degrading its missile and drone capabilities. and yesterday, the united states announced additional sanctions on iran. targeting uav programs. the steel industry, companies that are associated with the irgc, ministry of defense and its armed f...

Many layers of important nuance there, jeremy, thank you so much here to continue talking about this moment and the consequences cnn, military analysts, retired major general spider marks and founding partner and washington correspondent for puck news julia ya fee. thank you so much for being here. both of you general marks. i will start with you talk about what we saw overnight from a military perspective. >> well this was an attack by israel very clearly against a military target so i think th...

Think the iranians would like to safeguard there. i would also just note here if there is some broader geopolitical implications that we need to look at. this was russian air defenses that were penetrated last night. and i do want sure. whether theres a message that can be sent even to the russians and the battlefield in ukraine, that the israelis have something here, whatever it was last night that they used, that maybe bus can now deploy if we wanted to, if we even have those capabilities. but...

Major attack from the north from the iranian proxy hezbollah. >> hezbollah does have great capability to do damage in the north of israel. i expect hezbollah to rain down rockets. i dont expect them to do anything that will trigger a bigger war. iran doesnt want a war. hezbollah doesnt want its capabilities and forces to be decimated by the israelis. i dont think israel wants to engage in a major conflict with hezbollah or iran. therefore, i think we are going to return to the status quo prior t...

Attack. it wasnt a wide scale attack. israel apparently didnt use that massive amount of missiles or massive amount of missiles or massive amount of drones. because, you know, there is a massive difference between the iranian capabilities and the israeli capabilities. i did the report about that, so the iranians normally when they attack israel they use very cheap drones and they have to use a —— massive numbers of these drones to cause chaos to the defence, the israeli air defence, the isra...

Effectively have a second strike capability any more. if there is a response that comes out of iran with the capabilities that we are aware of, it would have to be done by proxies. they dont have the drones or the missiles to make a significant second strike on israel. what do you make of the timing of this reported missile strike? is this reported missile strike? is this only coming in a few days, five days after iran sent a barrage into israel, is that sooner than you might have expected? it i...

The message that the israeli defense sent to the world, it has been argued that we will respond to any attack on our soil, its been argued this is sort of demonstrating capabilities, but the reality to me, the biggest message, guess what, biden, i dont care what you say. what say you? >> harold: i think a little different. ive heard that narrative today and i think a little diffe differently. i thought what the israelis didnt they had every right to do. every country has the right to defend them...

Just bollocks as they say in england. but i do think that the tante and coming out of tehran also belies deepen security that israel has the capacity. its demonstrated last weekend that we have extensive defensive capabilities to prevent real damage to israel from iran in an attack. so theyre having to talk tough, but the idea that iran is somehow passive actor here in the region is laughable. >> one i have to think that we just to that point, looking back at what occurred this past weekend, the...

And these last several months have been very difficult to watch to see what is happening to our ally israel there. and it is not quiet and the biden foreign policy has been a bit of a jumbod mess. to that end staying quiet these last 24 hours might be the best thing that we could ask for from joe biden. but, also it does seem that israel has responded well to this unprecedented attack on it. and it is also showing the effectiveness of its deterrence policy by striking back showing what its capab...

Fins and it seems to be at the moment, at least in both sides interests that these tensions do not escalate. and thats i think what were seeing at this point lets talk about what at least is known right now of what was hit, what was targeted where and where not, i guess the strike triggered or rons air defense systems in doing so, is it possible have we learned have you learned anything about their capabilities from this? well, we knew that a lot of things about the uranian air defense systems, ...
