To do so really important to get through inside will continue to lean on you, cedric leyton retired air force colonel. >> i want to bring in bloomberg senior editor. bobby goes to the conversation. bobby, we spoke earlier in the week about antigen the painting. this exact reality. what do you think iran will do next well, laura threshold now has crossed and we were in sort of unknown territory for a long time. >> these two countries have been at a low intensity war, but i feel like now the glove...

Between israel and iran, they understand these are two countries that operate with a strategic patience that the united states is not used to in war. and were talking about the fact that the israelis have been going after irans nuclear program for years. you might remember back in 2020 when with a machine gun that was remotely operated, the israelis took out mohsen fakhrizadeh, a iranian nuclear scientist. the iranians said they would respond and ultimately they didnt. well, the israelis underst...

Seems to be right now bending over backwards to say, we have to do something but we are not headed to all out war. i spoke to a senior former israeli general this week who would be in the head of intelligence to the israeli defense forces, who told me that israel probably had to respond, but it must not respond in a way that causes disproportionate an edge and could lead to a full-on disproportionate confrontation between the two. having said that, as youve been hearing since last saturday, when...

Because deterrence is based on office and stuff capability, not defensive capability. what israel did defensively, whats tremendous, but from their mind and their mindset, it didnt restore deterrence, altered his show are wrong that it could protect itself if that could happen, deterrence is based on your capability to respond and in such a manner that would wipe out or create such a hard year for the other person. so thats why in their minds, they didnt feel deterrence was done just because of ...

Between the two. and decision by iran to go nuclear and irans nuclear facilities. i mean, israel i can try to strike them and they have struck some in the past. but they need bunker busters to hit the most sensitive parts of the sites and only the us has that. so we could tumble into a much more conventional war that pulls in the the and iraq doesnt like that. all this is happening from im its territory or over its airspace. so you get a lot of countries caught in-between and thats why theres po...

Over 300 drones and missiles. thats something thats never happened before. iran and israel have been fighting a shadow war since 1979, but they have never directly attacked each others territory. youve seen a lot of israeli airstrikes and assets in lebanon and syria, youve seen israeli covert action inside iran. youve seen a radian back terrorist attacks on israel, but never an actual attack from iran and israel. and now youre seeing something in retaliation. and most likely that youve also neve...

To carry out. it seems significant to me to some extent that hezbollah did not get involved over the past week following. the iran attack during the iran attack, in any significant way . >> what do you read into that, trey, as an expert in the region? >> absolutely. and the israelis certainly concerned about that, that the iranians even last night might use hezbollah to respond to this attack. and there were some red alert sirens about a drone infiltration that ended up being a false alarm. the ...

Officials that it wasnt a nuclear target, did appears. it may have been rionda, an army base. were hearing that from from the iranian state media side. now there is some speculation that this could be proof that israel can reach that particular area. a very sensitive area for iran if need be. now this would play into the narrative of whether this it was more just demonstrative than trying to destroy something that just a show of power that israel is able to reach deep into a rainy and territory ...

Place. but i do expect that we will start to hear more instructions from the idf from the israeli military, giving to the population here. it is still early morning hours, it is still developing. but at this lo stage, there have not been any widespread reports, any air raid sirens, could be an indication that israel hopes that this is contained. but like i said, it is too early to draw those kinds of conclusions. >> richard, thank you so much, a privilege to speak to you this evening here, this ...

Is there a dangerous element? >> to this? is there not in that both sides struck each other in their own territory over this past week. i mean, you can say, well, israel was able to knock out along with that coalition that came together, knock out all of those missiles and rockets and drones that were coming in and iran didnt really sustain that much damage. but something has been breached here well, in fact, israel has gone into around many, many times this shadow war. >> and the shadow war, we...
