the arab states involved. so we're trying to keep peace in the region, but it's becoming very hard to do. it's kind of like a rough retried to stop between two guys who are flailing at each other and you're going to get punched on both sides when it comes to the conflict in ukraine the president biden has been very clear. there. they're going to be limits to how involved the united states is. do you think that there will be any limits when it comes to israel that they know that remains to be seen. i mean, i think this is saturday was very unusual, not only in the direct rating attack, but also in the direct us response and of course, a lot of ukrainians were saying, well, why isn't the us defending us the way they're defending israel? but i think there is a logic here that the us is desperately trying to prevent a wider war in the region. and so now the issue is did israel ignore us warnings not to attack iran? and if so, do we wind up defending israel anyway, from the inevitable iranian counter attack, max boot. >> thank you very much for sticking with us all of this

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

was able, able to intercept the missiles, the drones that was suggesting why some were suggesting two prime minister benjamin and yahoo to quote unquote, take the win. what does it say that iran could not defend against this attack? >> well, for one thing, iran does not have anything similar to the iron dome. so it's clear defenses are fairly antiquated in comparison to the israeli earned offenses. they're not an effective, but they are not as effective as the israeli air defense system, which is a highly sophisticated, one of the best it's in the world. so that is really why you see this difference. and of course, we will have to wait for the battle damage assessments to come out and to get some idea of exactly what was here too, and how effective the israeli strikes work. but it seems like they were able to do this pretty much with impunity. and it tells us that there are basically holes in the iranian air defense system. and that the israelis can take advantage of them if they feel the need

projectiles into israeli territory. we also know that iran has the capacity to attack israel through its proxies in lebanon, in iraq, in hamas, in gaza strip, as well as from the houthis in yemen. so we know what both sides are capable of until now. it's been a question of just how far each is prepared to go but just as we were discussing earlier in the week with this escalation of risk-taking, there's always a chance that the next step up is going to be the step too far. i feel that tonight with israel launching and successfully striking iranian targets within iran, we've reached that stage where we are now into into an area of darkness where things

said that israel will make its own decisions when responding to iran's unprecedented weekend airstrikes bikes most of which were intercepted. iran launched that attack and retaliation for a suspected israeli strike on its embassy compound in syria earlier this month. i want to bring in sienna and chief national security correspondent alex marquardt. alex, there is so much to be learned here. you have some brand new reporting what can you tell us well laura, i've heard just moments ago from us vishal confirming that what we have been seeing these videos, these glows in the sky, that this is indeed a an israeli strike against iran, that this is the retaliation by israel that we have frankly been expecting over the course of the past few days in response to that iranian attack last weekend which targeted some 300 drones ballistic and cruise missiles at israel. >> an unprecedented historic attack by iran against israel.

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

in there on occasion and now they could well reverse that in a way to threatened that they're going to go all the way to 90%. and i think that could be the escalatory move because i think the israelis and perhaps the united states would feel if they're producing bomb grade uranium, they would have to go after this we don't know that they've they're going to take that step they've always come short of it. the amazing thing about the uranian program is it's taking them longer to get to a bomb than any nation on earth. and that's been deliberate. they have been using this as a a political measure on on the lever here as well as one of physics, they are not real for the bomb. this could change that view thank you. >> i want to go rack quits my panel or second because you're champing at the bit to react to what he's just said. what is your reaction to that? >> so laura, first of all, the reason why israel responded is

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

any counter-strike against iran. of course, again, the focus there being this is already a very volatile region and not wanting to see it escalate any further. now, we should know that there were a lot of there was quite a bit of movement today here at the white house when it comes to iran. of course, they announced sanctions against iran in an attempt to cut off supplies and further isolate the country. and then and also in addition to that, there was a meeting between senior us officials and israeli officials about last weekend's attack, but also about the potential invasion of rafah by is by israel. so clearly the white house has been monitoring all of this and keeping very close tabs as they seek to try to tain the risk here of a broader regional conflict. but we have also seen since the war and gaza that there have been public grips between president biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was unclear whether the israeli prime minister
