Now that Police Officer is being hailed as a hero by the Prime Minister and by people who saw her in the line of duty. She was on her own. She was in the area when she heard about this horrific incident on unfurling, she went to the scene she would lead towards the attacker by members of the public and she shot him dead. The Prime Minister of australia just made a Press Conference saying that if she had not done that, now more people would be dead, more than just the five that this person has senselessly killed today. Now there are more people in hospital, including at least one child as police, as authorities tried to find out just why this happened. Theyre not ruling out anything at this stage. Victor amara, but they are saying that there wasnt any invitation, at least initially, that was terrorism no ideological paraphernalia or indication that this might have been a terrorist act.

This tragedy, this horrific incident, which the Prime Minister just said is beyond words all, right angus watson will leave it there, of course, to keep us posted on any new developments. Thank you very much. Angus watson there from the scene right down the white house is on high alert for possible escalation in the middle east sources familiar with Us Intelligence tells cnn, but american authorities expect that iran will carry out sts in sayyed, israel soon in preparation, the Us Defense Department is moving additiona assets to the region of the strike on an Iraan Conlate in damasculast week. And they observran adying nrly 100 Cruise Missiles. Yeah, the timing for any possible aack is unknown, but in a message on friday, President Joe Biden predicted those attacks would happen. Quote, sooner than later. So he gave a one warning to tehran simply saying, dont in the past 24 hours is and lebanon, hezbollah traded multiple airstrikes. We have teamed coverage of this. Cnns Camila Dechalus joining us now from washington with the latest details on what a possible attack could mean for the us. But lets first start with cnns Jomana Karadsheh in london. Jomana, what else israel doing to prepare for this potential attack from iran . Well, amara, israel and the entire region has pretty much been on since april the first since israel carried out that strike on the iranian consular consular building in damascus that killed a top Iranian Revolutionary guard commander and other senior commanders. The iran onions have vowed and made very clear publicly that they are going to respond. I mean, iran cannot afford and wont let this go and answered really, but the question has been, how will iran respond . What sort of a response will we be seeing from the iranians to this israeli i said that its ready for all possibilities here we heard yesterday from the Israeli Defense minister yoav gallant, who is speaking while he met with the Us Central Command centcom commander, general erik kurilla, who is in israel for meetings about this potential attack the Defense Minister saying that israel is ready, saying that ready to defend itself both on the ground and in the air and would respond in close cooperation with our partners. We also heard from the Israeli Military spokesman rear admiral Daniel Hagari yesterday during a briefing saying that israeli commanders have presented their leadership with their plans, both defensive and offensive and repeating again that they are on alert and they are ready now, while the iranians, amara, have said that they are going to respond, and the question has been, of course, or is this going to be iran directly responding targeting israel itself what sort of, what does the scale of this response that we are going to see or is iran im going to be using its proxies to respond to the same time, we have been hearing from cnn sources over the past week saying that iran is indicating that while it will respond, that it still wants to keep this as a calculated and measured response because it does not want this to escalate into a war something that the United States also, once to try and avoid. So the big question right now, while the region is on edge, is not only what sort of a response are we going to be seeing from the iranians, the question is, how will israel respond to that as well . Because weve heard from israeli officials in recent days saying that that if iran were to attack israel, that they will respond with an attack inside iran as well. So right now, you have the region really on edge. A lot of concern about this escalating and the fears of this escalating into a war are very real, right now to mount a karadsheh reporting for us this morning to want to thank you. Lets go now to cnn White House ReporterCamila Dechalus. Camila, what is President Biden saying about this rising threat from iran . Well, President Biden spoke to reporters yesterday and he really ready reiterated what white house officials have been telling us in the last few days and not is, is that this threat that iran poses and the retaliatory attack that they may conduct is very real and is very credible. And they are in constant communication with Israeli Military hey, defense forces. I want to play a quick clip of what biden told reporters yesterday. Take a lesson my expectation suitably later to iran in this moment so as you can see, theyre biden is really issuing a very stark warning to iran. And you saying that hes monitoring the situation very closely and reiterated his support for israel and said that he stands firm and supporting them and coming to their defense. Amara victor Camila Dechalus, four whereas in dc, thanks so much showing me now is seen and military analysts, retired air force colonel Cedric Leighton kernel. Good morning to you. Lets start with a significance. If this is what it is going to happen, that iran will directly attack israel inside. Its borders. There, theres no shortage of iranian proxy in the region. The houthis has belong. Weve discussed them over the last several months especially why do it themselves well, which are there could be several reasons and good morning to you. One of the things that the iranians may want to do is show that they are the ones that are responding to an attack on their conduct lets look i and they look at it from the diplomatic Point Of View that that was sovereign iranian territory and there wasnt damascus, syria, but legally they are, theyre technically right in that sense. So this is one of the ways in which they could do this. They would potentially launch some of their longrange missiles into Israeli Aerospace and to potentially with the intent of striking is specific, is really target. That is one possibility. Other possibilities include such things as Cyber Attacks and also drone swarms. So i think what we might see is a combination of attacks from iran itself and from the proxies but it really remains to be seen if they want to ramp things up that much. And if they also want to an make it possible for a wider war to occur. And i dont think thats really an iranian interests at this point but jurans calculations are going to be different from what we would do calculated in a similar situation intelligence sources tell cnn that the us has observed iran moving resources, including drones and Cruise Missiles, 100 Cruise Missiles. Is this the type of movement that would possibly be a distraction or deterrent or does it . This look like theyre preparing for this retaliation for the strike in damascus will both are possible, and thats what makes makes us through difficult from an intelligence perspective, victor, what we really need to understand is irans intentions. It would be logical for them to monfils say these movements as a distraction but it is a large number of Cruise Missiles that were talking about here, 100 Cruise Missiles is no mean feat from a logistical standpoint to move them into position. And well move them around. So what they may be doing is either a distraction or getting them ready, or they may be trying to protect them and move them into areas in which they so that there are less vulnerable to an israeli counter attack. You mentioned that iran could call on some of its proxies to join in this attack, a coordinated attack. There were attacks from hezbollah into israeli resources and then retaliatory attacks from israel. There been those skirmishes back and forth across the border since the fall since october 7, should we see whats happened over the last 24 hours between hezbollah and the idf. In the context of this iranian retaliation or is this independent of that . Do you think . Well, so far it looks like its independent, but there is certainly a possibility that these could be precursor actions, what they might be doing. You didnt conjunction with hezbollah is testing Israeli Defenses, seeing if the Iron Dome System works as advertised or continues to work as it has in the past so they may be assessing israeli vulnerabilities as part of their usual attacks against israel. And so thats one of the key areas where they are looking at, i think different areas working with their proxies to determine israeli vulnerabilities, especially near Defense Sector if iran strikes inside of israel, is there any scenario in which us forces would not be committed, would not play a larger role in the defense of israel. I mean, do you think that this then brings the us and a large more significant way into this fight in the region well it depends on which targets are struck in israel, and i think that will happen is if it is deemed that is radiant missiles are underway to specific israeli targets maybe an attempt to shoot down those iranian missiles before they even enter israeli airspace and that would have to come from either us or other resources in the region they could potentially be nonisraeli resources that would be used so that would be one of the things that would happen in terms of a us response, the us response to Something Like this would probably be measured. But there is a large chance that we may not respond to it. Directly. But i let the israelis respond in order to protect themselves the president says, expects this sooner rather than later. Colonel Cedric Leighton, thanks so much Vice PresidentKamala Harris tore and two former President Donald Trump, blaming him for the erosion of Reproductive Rights in the coming up a white house is looking to keep the issue front and center for voters in this decisive president ial election cycle also, two of trumps codefendants in the classified documents case are trying to get some of their charges thrown out.
