brett about this it seems like the administration has at least, and maybe they were coordinating behind the scenes may be biden and netanyahu spoke all afternoon but it seems to me like the administration has lost a bit of control over what is happening in the middle east. i don t know if they have lost control i think that israel put them back in control and i ll tell you why, israel checked every box we can go in to any civilian place number 2 we put the fear of god into iran we know where the places are we know where everything is and look how were able to do it and as the report said and iran said their defence system was working and it still got through i have to tell you something the people in tehran are scared out of their wits israel what did you just do to us? how did you get through all of this? you attack not only here but all of our other supplies in syria israel is a very brilliant tactical nation what is going on
security council is meeting as we speak and as i mentioned before the iran foreign minister had just landed in new york and began his interview on arrival network when the reports of the first explosions occurred and it during that interview he did say that iran would likely respond if israel decided to carry out a retaliatory strike but i don t think we can call these airstrikes at this point based on the fact that we don t know, there were not necessarily israeli pilots or warplanes involved in these explosions. great reporting as always we will get back to you as the news warrants we bring in florida congressman with the foreign affairs ministry, you heard the round table conversation going on here we do know that there appears to be reporting leading to us to believe that there have been strikes in the southern part of iran on the uranium conversion area as it jennifer
first time an informal coalition led by the united states that helped the israelis activate not only their air defence around this airspace but also in jordan s airspace to ensure that these incoming iran missiles and drones last weekend were shot down so there were likely some clear coordinations with the americans understanding this israeli response was imminent and again across this week you had top iran officials everyone from the supreme leader the ayatollah khomeini to the president and top ir gc officials threatening immediate response if there was and is rarely counterattack so we do know that at this moment and this is according to israeli officials that i talked to this week israeli forces across the country are on high alert not just the air defence units but also fighter jets in the sky understanding that iran could decide to activate further their proxies in the region like the iran backed houthi in yemen or the iran back to hezbollah in
of a strike and so it may be limited in the eyes of the regional military but from the iranian perspective will they feel the need to respond? we heard from the iran foreign minister tonight that they would and i think most likely as trait mentioned what you will see is iran has been enriching uranium to 60 percent a very short move to move up to weapons grade and they have enough material for several nuclear weapons and nuclear bombs and i would expect that they may take a decision to cross that threshold something they have not taken a decision to do up until this point so we are moving into the escalation ladder as i ve said and as has been explained to me by u.s. monetary officials and concerned allies is that this could
tonight i think you have other nations that are very concerned about the situation you had jordan help with strikes to bring down the drones and the missiles on saturday night saudi arabia has expressed concern about the situation so this is a moment in which the middle east is on the brink and how we respond will be a big part of this equation. and there were talks about and we talked about this a bit before coming out of qatar talking about how the nine states is in negotiations with israel and willing to give the go-ahead to about strikes on rafah in southern gaza the question being that the strikes would be in return for not retaliating against iran so the question as we watch and have live pictures of the white house were kind of watching all of our posts their window we hear something from the white house? will it be tomorrow morning?
