sending is we can reach it if we want to. >> david, i want you to respond as well. twitter earlier, guess just intimated and the idea that he doubted that israel used missiles, drones instead of missiles. but it was largely perhaps iran trying to minimize and be dismissive. maybe even mock and ridicule israel's capabilities. it might not be obvious to the audience as to why the use of drones versus the missiles would be the subject? of ridicule well missiles would have a bigger impact right away if the drones managed to hit something, something like an amine nations dump, it. >> obviously because result in a large explosion. but there's a limited amount of punch you can pack even with the explosives on a drone and so it sort of depends on what the target was along the way. the drones move really slowly. and

the miniature neutron source reactor. it is a chinese made nuclear reactor. the concept of iran and nuclear weapons has been benjamin netanyahu's result for about 15 years. his whole argument, while ignoring the palestinian situation, is that iran and its nuclear power pose an existential threat to israel. in three years, you'll remember, there were discussions about iran attacking the nuclear facilities or america attacking him and benjamin netanyahu is a tell america either you will do it or we will do bottom-line as nobody did it and iran doesn't sn probably have nuclear capabilities but they are certainly moving in that direction. >> your point is exactly well taken. in fact, reporting from our intelligence and from the state department that iran is within a week or two having enough nuclear material to create a

old antiquated, or they've since been upgraded in some ways using iranian capabilities and other capabilities but they probably pose a very limited threat to the israelis the only thing to keep in mind, laura, is that when it comes to the nuclear facilities in and around s5 on the one that's really important is the natano nuclear facility. and that is 120 kilometers or about 70 miles away from his behind. so if you strike the area around is fine. you are not going to be striking the city of isfahan. that is, you're not going to be striking not tons. and what you are telling them. as we've talked about how do we you are telling everybody that you could reach this area and you can in fact eliminate that threat, or at least attack that threat. if you need, need to do so. >> carnal leighton, just singly compared to the signal that he ran sand by being able to reach israel issued a warning beforehand. and the iron dome

wouldn't see, wouldn't send the message sufficiently to the leadership now, maybe as you just heard before from markowitz, that it's entirely possible that they were demonstrating some new capabilities. but if they were going to go after the nuclear program, believe me, i think we would have known it tonight because we would have seen it in multiple different sites. and while we don't know yet the extent of what happened, that the early the report suggests that wasn't it. but here's my longer-term concern the iranians have, as you reported earlier been enriching at 60%, which is just below bomb grade. uranium. and for reasons that have to do with physics, not politics, that puts them only days or a week week or so away from being able to produce at 90%, which would be bomb grade they had been backing off on the 60% production or so. i'm told by the un inspectors who still get

and also have the knowledge you can't take the knowledge out of iran. they have that capability now, different versus when israel attacked also 1981 for example, or the syrian military when they had a nuclear facility, they brought brought in people from north korea and other places to build that for them. well, in this case, the intellectual capital sits inside of iran. so to say that militarily you're going to take out that capabilities just does not make sense. >> it's important point and also just for people to know about the nuclear facilities in iran, they were built with tiniest assistance. they open back in 1984 the isp behind nuclear technology center, as we're talking about, is iran is largest nuclear research complex. it employs about 3,000 scientists the point about the institutional knowledge we're talking about. and it's also as a multi-purpose research center that has long been suspected of being the center of a secret iranian nuclear weapons program. so i want to bring it now, former middle east

going to come. we also don't know what else happened if there had been a cyber attack. i mean, we've only seen one layer of potential warfare that's taking place right now. so there's other still courses of action that israel could have taken. we just don't know what they've done that's it important point. there's also concern because they've even that conversation earlier tonight, you'll be heard from the iranian foreign minister. he has set the stage to perhaps manage expectations among his own population, talking about should israel engage in certain behavior that it would be the next response would be immediate yet it wouldn't be at a maximum level. it would be decisive is it possible that these could be the words of a paper tiger anything is possible, but i would take her, rainey and threats pretty seriously. >> i mean, they've they are pretty serious military capabilities and they have a whole network of terrorist proxies throughout the region. so they certainly can do more than what they did last saturday, even though that was a pretty massive attack in and of itself. and i think israel, they currently have israel curly has the most capable

the news here for folks who are tuning in right now, three explosions have been heard near and army base inside of iran, near the city called isfahan. that is a very large city, the third largest in ron. it's one where we know there is a nuclear base, but there is also a military base as well spider marks tell us more about what the military capabilities are in that area. and if there was something targeted there, what could it be? >> clearly, you're going to find a military capability, primarily air defense in the vicinity of these enrichment facilities. so not surprising at all. and also when you go back to the nuclear deal that was find a number of years ago that the united states then invalidated and walked away from there. were conditions in that in that that prohibited unannounced inspections which means the iranians had the ability to do the enrichment.

point, that i ran once a major war because it will lose that and will lose it in a big way. at the same time, the iranian leadership also has to face it domestic political pressure and if it can't be seen as just laying down to israel, israel's offensive capabilities. but it is clear that israel was sending a message to iran, you were not able to get through our air defenses but clearly something got through because of these explosions. >> were you surprised by this move? >> well, there recent comments that are coming out of israel that said that they are going to respond in a very sort of major way led me to believe that they were not just going to be satisfied with strikes again ie iranian revolutionary guard corps or even drone bases, that they felt that they had to go after somewhere in iran. i was hoping it would be some kind of infrastructure and that there would be a minimal loss of life because i think if there is a lot of blood that was shed in the strikes, the iranians are going to feel compelled to be able to respond somehow to israel could be with

this the planning stages? do you need more than a few hours if you are planning to respond? >> it depends. i'm not an expert on iran's capabilities i would lean into they have significantly expended i great deal of resources with that first wave of attacks against israel with the 350 plus missiles and suicide drone attacks we've been talking about this for a couple of days now so iran is going to move some pieces into play. to understand the iranians, they think they are thoughtful and they are strategic think that they are going to continue to try and put something together as far as their response. >> it is now three seconds until the top of the hour. it is now 11:00 o'clock on the east coast, 8:00 here in los angeles. this is a special breaking news

broader conflict. i think the propaganda you are hearing from iran tonight suggests that they will possibly be looking for a face-saving way out to not have to get into this tit for tat and firing more missiles. remember as we've been reporting they only have between 10200 missile launcher -- missile launchers. they tried to hit israel... i think they are going to be assessing their capabilities, how they can move forward. i think we have to take a look at the nuclear program. the foreign minister is in new york city, he will be taking their case to the un security council tomorrow. i think israel chose the timing so as not to actually escalate. if you strike on a friday in
