beginning of this month, striking a diplomatic compound in damascus so that in itself was retaliation. and iran said that they believe the matter was concluded, that it had finished, and they had responded and they were trying to draw a line and der it israel did not see it that way, given the unprecedented it didn't nature of the drone and missile attack and did feel that it had to give some kind of response of course the question now is what's the target? of israel's strike something that ron can live with. is it something that tehran can put to rest now and not feel the need to retaliate and of course, it's not just the direct retaliation that we're looking for from iran. there are many proxies in the region here in lebanon, of course, hezbollah, iranian back could carry out further strikes against israel. we have seen an uptick in those cross-border strikes just this week alone, gym and there has been repeated
tehran as israel trying to save face. but not to engage in an insignificant direct conflict with iran. >> yeah, that's the point because us intelligence and others have been warning while now, anybody indicating that a random not want a war with israel, although it was okay with escalating and just wanted to stay away from a direct confrontation. so in many ways, is a sense of relief in tehran that they'll give them this off-ramp by the israelis while in the past days, we have been seeing that the ron trying to have a turning point in its engagement with israel for the first time, it tried to directly act against israeli targets. >> but there was a chance that this might provoke a response from israeli sayyed. but i think if there is no clear and visible or significant if this strike was not on the israeli sayyed, this cannot change that equation for me, renin perspective so that's important
carrying out a strike against what was believed to be an iranian diplomatic compound in damascus. israel claiming that it was more of a military building, but they did the carry out this strike according to a ron and killed seven revolutionary guard members. now iran at the time had said that they saw that as an attack on its own soil because it was a diplomatic compound within the consulates. they said now, then what happens after that? that was we did see us weekend that unprecedented attack by iran on israeli soil, more than 300 missiles, drones fired toward israel live. we hear from the us sayyed that 99% of the worst shot down because there was a concerted effort, not just by israel, but also by the us, by the uk hey, iran and jordan to prevent those from reaching israeli soil. and then
things that we are reporting did not happen while israel is saying there was an attempt. >> they are claiming to only explosions occurred from their defence over the isfahan province. so they are claiming that there were no strikes inside their territory. just activity from their air defence system. this is an opportunity for the iranians to say there was no successful strike inside iranian territory if the past is any indication, the israelis are not likely to confirm on the record that anything took place inside a ron. this is part of a coordinated effort to de-escalate the situation across the region p. or it gives the iranians the ability to save face, the israelis the ability to send a message to the islamic republic that they have their nuclear facilities and site and they can strike at will. and also the americans a chance to try and bring the israel ease
the sites that israel struck. they will have their own assessments. tonight, no u.s. officials, no u.s. military commanders are commenting on this strike. the military was not involved. this is a unilateral strike by israel to send a message to iran >> i'm wondering after all the years you spent in israel are you surprised at the type of day , anything about this attack from israel on a ron? >> i'm not surprised. stand i -- [ please stand by ]

after reported israeli strike in iran. goes on to say embassy in jerusalem... restricting their travel to the tel aviv... and jerusalem area citing an abundance of caution following reports that israel conducted a retaliatory strike inside a ron. the employees are allowed to travel between those three cities. there is messaging going on behind the scenes. we are not really hearing from the front line people. we are hearing behind-the-scenes what is happening. there is posturing, messaging. a lot of stuff going on that we are not privy to. >> that's right. we haven't had any comment either from the state department about this or any sort of notification that we've seen as we've been monitoring all of this. secretary blank and overseas in italy meeting with g-7 leaders, perhaps we will hear from him as baltimore op are right now it is quiet it will be top of mind
>> you are a man of peace. the question becomes is it posturing or is it a step back for a ron? is iran trying to to step back from their foreign minister's comments that we just played you a short time ago saying this would be a decisive robust responsive israel reaches our area. now they are saying... >> everybody knows it's all about what the people in the street think. that is the true reality. makes no difference when anybody in the media says. iran has most of the people against them. the few that support them, how did this happen? it's about the street. the second thing is a lot of people understand why is israel going after the nukes. we are only 15 million people in the world. we are not a lot we lost 6 million out of 1575 years ago. one bomb can take care of 7 million.
iran overnight, you are not trying to kill people and then require a response by a ron. >> it's interesting you talk about the escalation ladder and you wonder if after the foreign minister who you just mentioned there has gone on national television tonight here in america saying that there will be -- if israel makes a mistake there will be a swift, robust, decisive response can you now opt not to respond after making that type of statement? >> i think it depends what the responses going to be. i think all eyes right now will be on their nuclear program and what decision the supreme leader takes in terms of how they decide to move forward with that nuclear program. i would say that is something that will be a brave -- grave concern to the u.s. and it's allies. there is not a lot that the u.s., israel and others can do about that nuclear program.
