didn't answer any of those questions. and you have to assume nine states understood. didn't approve. they weren't the decision loop, but they understood what was going to take place on the nature of the attack just real quick. >> i see you nodding your head, julia yeah. >> no, i agree with the major general that the us again, didn't approve, but was appraised. i think it would've been very much in israel's interests to appraise washington of what it was about to do. but to me it's also very classically iran. think about what happened after the us strike that. assassinated general qassem soleimani, who was a much bigger deal than the two generals that were assassinated by israel earlier this month right? is iran talked a really big game about how this man had been martyred, about how it was going to retaliate and in the end, it sent a dozen there's missiles at a us base in iraq, right?
