iranian state media is downplaying the impact of the strike, saying the situation in the city is durable and that their nuclear program sites are are secure. a secretary of state, tony blinken said this warning that the us was not involved in any offensive operations in iran as of now, the israeli military said it was unable to comment and tehran has not identified a source behind this attack. so this is another sign of rising tensions between israel and iran. and further raises the threat of a broader conflict in the middle east he's joining me now, former defense secretary under president obama, former cia director leon panetta. ms secretary, what what's your reaction to all of this? i mean, was this a bit of a gamble on the part of israel might've gone spectacularly awful way. i mean, it didn't do a whole lot in both sides are sort of stuff okay. we're moving on now. but it could have ended up a lot worse well, there's there's no question that the rules of engagement, if changed in that part of the
saturday when that coalition came together, healthy israelis repel that aerosol from iran. >> i have to imagine ms secretary if if the iranians are more successful next time around and perhaps they telegraphed at last weekend in a way that it was repelled. but next time around, if it doesn't doesn't work out that way, the us could get drawn in what, what, what kind of advice would you give the president, the administration in a scenario like that? we read jumping too far ahead of ourselves. what do you think? >> well i think we're probably looking at two paths forward gym at this point is that i do believe that the better path would be to have israel reinforce that coalition that came together. that in effect really put together the defense of israel by 99%, knocking down those missiles. it's a great coalition made up of the united
common policy across the g7& it's very much our approach now. so we've been engaged in efforts to avoid escalation. those efforts will continue italy plays a critical role in this. as a leading country, as a country that's engaged around the world with many other countries that have their own relationships with countries involved in the middle east italy has its own direct engagements i think what we've seen over the past ten days or so, a couple of weeks. >> is that those engagements have been and remain very important to keeping things calm, to avoiding escalation, to preventing a larger conflict. >> italy's an important player in this nadia bill bossy with al arabiya thank you, mr. secretary, i want to pursue again on the iran question, it seems that both the iranian and the israeli responses were
