"please don't respond forcefully, leave it at that." "take the win," president biden said. "we shot down all the missiles, you are safe, nobody got killed. you have made your point." but israel still felt it had to respond to try and kind of show that it can still deter iran. what we have seen this morning is a very limited, calibrated, symbolic strike. very important where it has hit. the fact there is no damage that we can see, no casualties, that is fine. iran said it will not respond, that is great. but look at where it hit. isfahan province, that is home to iran's uranium enrichment facility and several nuclear facilities and several airbases, several military centres, and israel is making the point that it can strike there and it could strike in a much stronger way if it chose to. our security correspondent frank

our security correspondent frank gardner has provided his assessment of the situation. my assessment, for what it is worth, is this crisis is over, it has been averted for now. it does not end the middle east's problems, but the real fear of the tit—for—tat escalating exchange of fire between israel and iran for now at least appears to be over. why? let's take it back to april the 1st. there was a devastating air strike on iran's consulate in damascus. it flattened it. it was a targeted, precision strike which israel did not say it did, but everyone knows it was israel. it killed 13 people, including two top iranian generals. iran vowed a strong response. the region held its breath, the middle east held its breath for 13 days, and then we got the answer.

reuters news agency coming out quoting a senior, unnamed iranians source saying they don't see what happened overnight as being an attack on iran. they are trying to really portray that as being an infiltration of iranian airspace. isfahan is the location of iran's nuclear site. the international atomic agency has confirmed there is no damage to iran's nuclear facilities. the director general continued to call for extreme restraint from everybody. he said nuclear facility should never be a target in military conflicts. our security correspondent frank gardner has outlined his assessment of the current situation. my my assessment for what it is worth is this crisis is over, it has been averted. it does not end the problem is, but the realfear of averted. it does not end the problem is, but the real fear of the tit—for—tat escalating exchange of fire between israel and iran for now
