memoli and therefore the country of what is going on. this is a president who knows now that it is 7:45 p.m. on the west coast. this is a country that is mostly wide-awake right now, consuming this news and eager to know what is happening. >> yeah. i mean, lawrence, i've had that responsibility for a lot of years in the white house. i think your considerations in that regard is, when it is a very sensitive international thing like this, speed is actually not your first priority. you want to be heard in the manner that you want to be heard at the right time. in this case, there are other considerations. first of all, what is israel going to say? so if they undertook this military action, before you say anything out of the white house, you need to be clear about what the government is going to say about whether they

house has had an awareness of the range of options that it could potentially take in response to the efforts over the weekend that included potentially a more limited response. it could include strikes outside of iran, which we have seen reports of tonight, as well as strikes in iran. we know that president biden in a conversation over the weekend said that the u.s. would not join israel in any potential offensive operations. there is a term we have heard quite a bit this week, which is take the win. that is what the government has been communicating to israel to avoid that term escalation. that has been the hope of the white house as well, from bill burns and officials throughout the week. they are standing back at this point to see what the situation is, to see if it has concluded. >> mike, i know the president has been on the campaign trail most of the week.

being here, about the right of smaller nations to exist and not be tormented by larger nations. it will really be understood as the end of american power and influence. >> vice president mike pence says he believes putin will wage war on nato if ukraine loses the war. you think that is hyperbole? >> well, it is what the russians say. it is what putin says. it is what russian propaganda says. they repeat themselves. they periodically threaten poland and the baltic states, and sometimes for fun they threaten the united kingdom or the united states. they say all the time, and so if they are saying it all the time, maybe we should take it seriously. >> believe what people tell you. and applebaum with the atlantic. thank you for your wisdom. really appreciate it. >> thank you. that is our show for tonight. now it is time for the last

where they are exchanging fire, they are exchanging conflict in other parts of the middle east? >> please stay with us. joining us now is nbc news white house correspondent, mike . what do we know from the white house tonight? >> frankly, not very much. the white house has not been responding to any questions about these reports of explosions that we are seeing in the middle east. i think that speaks to the posture of the de-escalation and the administration at this point. the cia director spoke tonight at the bush center in dallas and he called this a spectacular failure. i want to read this quote directly. he said, i think the broad hope of the president and policymakers is that we will find a way to de-escalate the situation. i think they're standing back at this point wanting to confirm on their own resources

the statement they draft is going to have to be calibrated. if israel is coming out and saying, this is it, we are done, this is our response to what took place, that makes it easier for the biden administration to pivot to a message of de-escalation, this is over, we are calling everyone to de-escalate. if this is still open-ended, that becomes more tricky and the biden administration may want to say, we urge israel to refrain from further military action and we are urging them to de-escalate. so you want to calibrate your message based on your understanding of what israel is doing great at the same time, obviously, you might, in the interim, confirm some things for people like mike memoli but before your official statement goes out you want to make sure you know what your policy responses. >> mike, you have any information about who else is up the white house at this hour that you are sourcing? do we have any sense of whether there is a situation or a meeting going on? whether national security

will not be giving up on and potentially might see to advance that goal. >> let us know if you hear anything, on with us, mike memoli, joining us now is nbc military analyst, the retired four start army general, billy mccaffrey, a decorated combat veteran of vietnam, a former battlefield commander in the persian gulf, a former cabinet minister, and a former cabinet member and a former member of the national security council. general, it is good to see you. i think we need a little historical context here, let's go all the way back to 1914 on an obscure streetcorner that seems like an isolated incident in world war i. the word here is that somebody miscalculate somewhere, and you have iran, which has allied with china and russia, and syria, and you have israel, which has allied with the western countries and you

and, perhaps the most surprising part of all of this is that, so far, in the media hours after this attack, the run very much is downplaying it, and, in fact, telling large segments of its population through official media that nothing happened, and that what did happen, what people may have heard, were limited air defenses that knocked down small drones. >> richard, as always, we rely on your reporting and urinalysis, thank you, my friend, richard engel for us in jerusalem. united dates embassy in jerusalem has this morning advised employees and family members not to travel outside of the greater tel aviv, jerusalem areas, until further notice. joining us now is the nbc news white house correspondent, mike, who is standing by to get some sense of analysis or feedback from the white house. we are unclear, as of now, mike , as to what the white house new, how much they were told,

burns, a spectacular failure, they have demonstrated that they can attack within iranian territory. if it is limited to that, then there would be a sign, potentially for both sides to step back from a escalation. that would certainly be the help of the biden administration at this point. we are at this point though, where we know the president came back directly from the campaign trail. went straight into the west wing, would likely have wanted to hear from his national security advisor, jake sullivan, about the direct conversations he had in a formal setting with his israeli counterpart, with ron dermer, another senior israeli cabinet official, in which they were going to be potentially reading out the options. but we have not heard beyond that speaks to the likelihood that they want this situation to play out, to not escalate or further in the situation, giving it a greater import than it appears to have at this point. >> mike, i want to ask you
