CNN NewsNight With Abby Phillip

course we are reaching out to all of our sources now to get a sense of what the us new and when again to underscore that we do not know right now whether israel has carried out any kind of strike. but i want to emphasize something that i learned a couple of days ago, abby and that is the us expectation. they had been told by israeli officials that were there to be a counter attack and that was the expectation we have been expecting something from israel over the, over the course of the past few days that it would be to quote one official limited in scope and what that would mean is essentially, we think a handful of strikes. another official was saying a kinetic attack against, say, military targets. again, back to israel's efforts to try to thread the needle in terms of sending a message to iran hitting back at iran without escalating this situation, i was just speaking with a senior us official just moments ago about that limited

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

do we want to gamble again? do they want to -- knowing that israel can also rain rockets come missiles to their key facilities wherever they might be that is going to be something that the iranians areh going to have to consider and i would also be very skeptical when the iranians boast and brag and play down reports. everything that they say should be looked at with a grain of salt at the moment. >> thank you for joining us tonight. this morning where you are. i appreciate it. glad i want to bring in my colleagues, nbc white house correspondent, he has covered president biden and his inner circle for many years. you know this president, michael, better than any other reporter i know. he urged israel to show rg restraint after the attack that took place last weekend. how worried is the president tonight? i know you haven't spoken yet or the white house about this thing escalating. this is not what he wanted to happen. >> well, stephanie, i think what the president is doing now is balancing two somewhat

hamas efforts elsewhere in the region and then conducting this strike into iran. i mean, this is quite amazing, not surprising entirely the israelis have this incredibly capable military force so if they're not sending a message, they're trying to achieve a result. we don't know what that result looks like. that needs to be determined before you determine what the next steps are going to be. >> all right. but major general spider marks standby again for us, we're going to go back to alex marquardt with some breaking news outlets yeah. >> abby, i've just gotten a confirmation from a us official that is israel has indeed struck iran tonight, that what we are seeing this explosion or explosions around the city of isfahan is indeed an israeli attack against iran. this is the retaliation that we have thought me becoming for several days now, ever since iran carried out that strike last

at this point there are no special instructions for the israeli people. israeli military officials are starting to wake up this morning to give you a sense of just how calm things were here in israel overnight, a few sources said they slept through this incident, indicating that the israelis knew this was going to be limited in scope and they did not anticipate an immediate response by iran p. or there are questions today about how the israelis will see this incident it certainly gives the iranians an exit ramp because there were no major sites that were hit as jennifer reported this was a limited scale attack on iranian territory and meant to send a message to the regime in tehran that the israelis do have the ability to target within the providence is whether our nuclear facilities but not ultimately target them in this initial response to the iranian missile and drone attacks that took place last weekend p. or we

live in tel aviv. it seems to me that we have what u.s. officials are saying was an israeli attack. israeli officials saying very little if anything at the moment. iran saying... what is the point of all of this? laid out if you can for our viewers -- lay it out. >> israel conducted a limited strike overnight inside iran's isfahan province trying to target iran and send a message to the regime in tehran that direct attacks against israel will not go unanswered. the strike overnight gives iran an exit ramp and escalating tension with israel and it also allows the israelis to send that message directly to iranian leadership. state media already trying to save face saying the explosions

starting to cackle late what are the odds of a response? how would that work? and the involvement with the american forces have with that? they're not participating in this event action tonight but they have committed to continuing to participate in defense of actions to protect israel that involved a lot of ed diplomacy over these last two weeks to happen last weekend because they had to work with the europeans and the arabs to make sure everybody's on the same page. share intelligence, airspace and all that. so that is on their minds, as well, tonight. >> why is this spilling out into the open now? >> that is an excellent question. i mean, on the base of it, what the iranians said was the idf attack on their embassy in damascus, killed mike two generals and five other senior figures with an attack on their home soil. but there may be larger things at stake. internally, in iraq, obviously

mind. >> top of the hour now it is midnight on the east coast. 9:00 here in los angeles and here's what we know. we do know that israel did launch a mission, an attack on iran. we do not know if this attack actually hit anything. we don't know that. iran is claiming that it knocked these three drones out of the sky. we don't know if that's before these drones fired anything. all of this remains unclear. we do know there was a retaliation from israel and iran has said that it would respond robustly and now iran is saying that there was no attack on their land. they knocked these drones out of the sky. >> the pentagon white house national security council are still not commenting on this israeli strike inside iran

because we have now we told you the iranian officials as the explosion heard over isfahan was a result of the activation of the air defence system and now you have iranian state tv saying air defences destroyed three drones above isfahan. they are confirming their in fact was an attack and they are saying that was our stuff. they can't even together get their message on the same page here. >> one thing is for sure, the first report is always wrong. in any combat operation. i think that's what we're seeing play play out here in realtime. there is a lack of information and everybody is trying to get the best information possible. with the information warfare game going on we can trust that iran is not going to be truthful about this. i think we need a way on the israeli battle damage assessment that they release and anything that the administration here in
