Hes accused of Stealing Millions of dollars from the baseball superstar hello, im wolf blitzer in washington and urine the cnn newsroom we begin in the middle east right now, cnn has learned that Prime MinisterBenjamin Ateneo is meeting with his war cabinet just ahead of what they anticipate could be a potential attack from iran. It comes after an israeli airstrike hit the iranian consulate in Damascus Syria last week, killing a dozen or rainy and military officials. The pentagon says the top us general for the middle east is an israel right now meeting with Israeli Military officials about the Security Threats and the white house tells cnn that officials there are keeping a very close eye on the situation and are in constant communication with israel. Lets get to the latest reporting from our correspondence Cnn International diplomatic editor, nic robertson, whos joining us from jerusalem and aryna Tasha Bertrand is over at the pentagon. Nick, first to you. First of all, working to tell us about this as really work cabinet meeting, how concerned are israelis right now that iran could launch an attack, a retaliatory attacks against israel theres a real concern wolf, that iran could do that in the coming 24 or 48 hours. Ive talked to varioUs Intelligence sources in the region at the moment. They understand and this is what were getting from a lot of different sources that iran is poised to respond. Now of course, this could be iran intentionally did informing, putting disinformation out there just to create that sense of jeters among the israeli public here, among the leadership, and israel hello, about precisely what theyll do and its unclear what theyll do. Will they respondents straight back directly to israel themselves with the us proxies, the strike into israel where they strike israeli interests elsewhere in the region thats a question on peoples minds at the moment, but that strengthen and show of unity and support between the the United States and israels on display today are hand, saw base in the south of israel, the centcom commander, general erik kurilla, there with you. Ive gland the israeli haley Defense Minister, deputy idf, chief of staff, also there. So this is very much a message of unity and strengthen preparedness. So this is what we heard from rear admiral daniel hagari, the Idf Spokesperson just last night, speaking about how Prepend Israelis for what ever threat comes from iran were highly alert and prepared for a wide range of scenarios. And are conducting a situational assessment. Go far. Were ready in both defense and offense to various idf capabilities and strategic partners. So i still think you should give fahmy shut off iran a strike coming from iranian territory will clearly prove iranian intentions to escalate the situation in the middle east and to stop hiding behind its proxies i think you get a level of the understanding of how this concern is shared jointly between the United States and israel. A State Department and the embassy here morning, staff not to stray beyond the sort of tel aviv Area Jerusalem area best shiva area stay in those areas. The concern is its just not clear what irans move is going to be the sense that it could be soon, wolff. Yeah, theres a lot of concern in those ambit the us embassy and other embassies in israel as well are issuing warnings to their citizens to stay put basically. And worry, i start worrying about the potential, lets hope it doesnt happen about the potential of this war escalating big time between israel and iran natasha, i want to go to the pentagon with you for a moment. The top us Military Commander in the middle east, that the commander of the us military Central Command is in israel right now, he just heard nick talk about that. What do we know about his trip . The coordination thats going on between the United States and israel in anticipation, in fear of a fourth from a fullscale iranian retaliatory response well, if erik kurilla, the top general for the middle east, he did say that the us the pentagon did say also that the us stance with israel against any potential attack that iran might launch against the israelis and President Biden made this very clear as well that they are in constant coordination with the israelis to prepare for the possibility that they do launch some kind of attack directly on israeli soil. And according to a readout from the israeli Sayyed Generall erik kurilla. He did meet with you, have gone today to discuss readiness for an iranian attack against the state of israel, which may lead to who regional escalation. So clearly all sides here are bracing for the possibility that this escalates into a fullon conflict between iran and israel. However, Us Intelligence assessments, as we reported a little bit earlier in the week, they assess that this is more likely to be carried out by Iranian Proxy Forces in the region rather than from iran directly. And that is for a number were of reasons, but most prominently is because the iranians dont necessarily want to get involved in a fullblown war with israel that the us, as they have stated publicly, would then come to israels defense width. So the iranians trying to temper their response according to our sources, however, it is very possible at this point according to intelligence testament that these iranian proxies carry out a against israeli assets in the region. And so all sides bracing for that. And importantly, how israel is going to respond, because that is also going to inform just how much this conflict escalates. Wolf so the tasha, just to be precise, if hizballah and raining proxy in Southern Lebanon starts launching rockets and missiles, bombs towards haifa tel aviv, elsewhere in israel, the israelis presumably would respond big time against his vallow in Southern Lebanon, try to destroy their capability, but wouldnt necessarily attack directly or targets in iran, is that the us understanding as well well, its not clear it just whether the us would characterize an attack by an iranian proxy against israel as an attack by iran itself, the us has made very clear, of course, that the proxies are only able to function and really survive because of iranian support for them. But at the same time it would definitely be a layer removed from iran itself if the proxies were the ones carrying out these attacks, however, israel has said that theyre going to respond forcibly to whatever kind of attack they are faced with by iran or its proxies. And so it just remains to be seen how exactly this is going to play out. Are very important, very, very worrisome developments unfolding, write down natasha. Thank you. Nick, thanks to you as well. I want to bring in cnn military analysts, retired Us Army Lieutenant general mark hertling, a general. Thanks so much for joining us says, you know, officials are telling cnn they expect iran will respond imminent lee keyword imminently. Do you think iran is likely to strike israel directly or could that happen through a proxy like hezbollah, for example, in lebanon everyones asking that question, wilken, what id say is gentle kurilla, is there because hes looking at what is the most dangerous course of action that around will take and whats the most likely, the most dangerous is a strike by iran inside it, israel, because that could certainly cause an Inflection Point and expand this war. The most likely is all of your reporters. Natasha just said is likely an attack by any number of proxy groups, whether its hezbollah and in lebanon or any of the pmf forces in iraq or syria, or in the area so thats what general kurilla and probably he has some of his Intelligence Officers with them as well as some of his operators so that they can react with naval and air forces from the us in case anything does happen because the key is deterring any further expansion of this regional conflict. The israeli strike on that iranian Consulate Building In Damascus was what, about a week or so ago . Why do you think iran has now waited this long to respond immediately issued warnings that they were going to respond, but they havent yet well, part of it is the messaging that iran off often uses and theyre concerned about attacking inside of israel because truthfully, wolf, as you know, israels force is pretty extensive and pretty confident. They can certainly go after a forces if they do these kind of things. So i think around on his trying to get their proxies together to determine what would be the best and most effective attacks by their proxies and potentially themselves, without being deterred, are countered by any israeli forces. So again, thats why everyone is on the edge to see which kind of force around well use and how they will use it. Yeah, very, very nervous situation unfolding right now, israels Defense Minister says a direct, a direct iranian attack against israel would be met. And im quoting him now with appropriate israeli response against iran, how worried are you general that this could start a much larger youre regional conflict unfolding in the middle east right now yeah, im very concerned truthfully, wolf, this is one like i said earlier, this is an Inflection Point. If this begins a fight between iran and israel, that is, in each others territory. Then were talking about much wider conflict and the us may get involved in this and thats what the administration is attempted to do is limit the conflict that were seeing. So it doesnt come to this so this is one of those things that i think and the State Department watching very closely and hoping it doesnt come to blows between iran and israel. Because if it does, thats not going to be the limit of the operation. Its an extremely dangerous moment in the middle east right now, because if there were a fullscale war between israel and iran, it would make whats going on im in gaza, look like relatively small potatoes because that were would be devastating to both sides israels got enormous capabilities. So does iran. And lets hope that doesnt necessarily unfold retired Lieutenant General mark hertling.
