officially acknowledged it, so it makes it easy for the iranians to not acknowledge it. i was actually in the room with tom when he was doing the interview yesterday, and he was very clear that the foreign minister was almost a little annoyed at the suggestion that this was a reaction to iran's attack on israel. trying to really dismiss this as much as he could, even like you saw, as you just played the video, comparing it to, like, children's drones. he emphasized that the drones were shot down by iranian air defenses, but that they were, they came from inside iran. so any idea that iran is trying to, at least, this is what we're so far hearing, any idea that there was an attack from outside iran, or that there were missiles filed, iran is trying to play that down, for obvious reasons. they don't want to escalate. they've said they don't want to escalate. israel has given them this almost sort of a gift, that they have deniability, and because netanyahu has been

it is by far the strongest number. it benefits the most from iranian. why this man has an intimate knowledge of iran's capitol of tehran, and it has an estimated 150,000 missiles, which are not just blunt instruments, these are sophisticated, directed weapons that have been used to great effect in the past. as we have seen over the past couple of months s huge firefight over this border, as i mentioned. that has been still relatively contained. it is good for the entire region, it is good for the people of lebanon, because israel has vowed to lay waste to this country if this fight escalates, we haven't see that quite yet. there are sort of unstated rules of engagement over this border, hezbollah doesn't really try to escalate, israel is also careful not to escalate. because they are both trying to avoid, not just a full on war,

i think it's very significant the timing of the strike. it's on a friday which is really the day of rest for the muslim population inside iran. that is designed so as not to kill a lot of people. this was not targeting a population centre and the timing and the date of the strike on the supreme leader birthday i think is of note. >> the question becomes it's not as much the message here, not as much about the strength of the power and the breadth of the strike, is the response itself. >> israel likes to send a message that we can reach out and touch you. that's what they did tonight. this was unlimited strike. it was not designed to escalate. that will be i think a great relief to many here at the pentagon and elsewhere who are concerned that the u.s. could get dragged into a wider war, a

coming just yesterday, from the iranian president, but so far, at this stage, with what appears to be quite a limited strike that israel has said is still carrying out a battle damage assessment, so far there seems to be an effort to contain public opinion and not have this escalate any further. >> so, richard, here's the big question, why? iran uses very flowery language, sometimes it is just a translation from farsi into english, but what it wishes to do to israel sometimes and what will happen if israel does anything, and as you said, a statement from the prime minister in the foreign minister has, prior to this attack. why would they be doing that? is this in pursuit of the idea that, okay, iran attacked this diplomatic mission in-- i'm sorry, israel attacked this diplomatic mission of iranians in damascus, killed someone last weekend. israel showed iran-- iran

three drones, which were easy for the iranian side to knock down, which does appear to have tamped things down. and as long as both sides say, okay, we're okay with this right now, we don't need to escalate, then maybe we have averted a war, at least for now. >> and important to, colonel, that iran keeps its proxies in lebanon, hezbollah under control in this. they've managed to do that so far to a large extent. and in fact, the hezbollah could have carried out a far more intense barrage against israel if they'd want to do as the iranian drones and missile missiles came over last weekend, they didn't do that. >> do you find that significant? i do, yes, because, look, the iran's last week was, you know, with this 350 combination of drones and missiles could have been a lot worse. but they went after targets that were they knew that the iron dome would be knocking

>> what you make of how this is unfolding tonight? this-- we have been very worried about this, we were very worried last weekend when the attacks came in to israel about the escalation, about the danger to life. we didn't see that last weekend, despite the hundreds of incoming drones and missiles that went in, and it looks like we may not see this in iran this morning. it looks like this was surgical , it was meant to target what may be a military institution, not the nuclear site in isfahan, what you make of how this is playing out? two countries, two belligerent countries, spending a lot of money firing at each other, with the aim of not killing too many people apparently. >> it is really kind of bizarre, isn't it? it is basically these terrifying military exchanges, but both are all kind of meant, in a way, to signal that it is not to escalate.

response by israel was limited where would you put the biggest factor in all this was the us once on the israelis essentially sitting this one out, wasn't capability by the israelis not to lay the major blow without the us or was it benjamin and you are looking for some kind of reprieve here? i think all of those proposed explanations makes sense. i think that this was a shrewd calculation on the part of netanyahu. and his war cabinet he made a demonstration if it were three drones, or perhaps more, those drones came very, very close to the center of iranian nuclear development and it's a statement it's a statement that says if this matter continues we have targeted your facility and if the time come to escalate & severely jeopardized or destroy

see because it's quite clear the iranian air defenses were very nervous last night. almost certainly they would have been firing at shadows overnight, so we've got to be quite careful about that. the fallout is interesting. one iran saying we have no plan to escalate. and israel i think they used the word feeble on social media. that demonstrates it's probably not enough to appease some but small enough not to escalate. there's probably three things israel should be able to walk away from this. one of which they sort of had the last word, which is important for netanyahu. secondly, they struck at not only storage sites of missiles but struck at a nuclear site and also thirdly and importantly israel demonstrated it can target effectively on iranian soil when iran was not able to do so very effectively despite this huge barrage of missiles. so i think if we are going to

not just from the houthis in yemen, for instance, international global trade through the red sea and gulf of adan but attacking american bases not so long ago from iraq and syria and killing soldiers. this does have the potential to escalate, and we're in a very dangerous situation and position right now. hezbollah the indications this morning overnight, having seen what's happened overnight there's a lot of down-playing not just for those in tehran but also here in lebanon with the hezbollah leadership making its initial statement pretty much disdainful of the attack. certainly the hezbollah leadership here pouring a lot of
