>> gio: good morning, america. breaking overnight, iran strikes israel firing hundreds of cruise and ballistic missiles and drones at israeli targets in an unprecedented show of force.

"gma" with full analysis of the unfolding situation from israel to the white house to wall street amid fears of a widening war. >> whit: and good morning, america.

so great to have you with us on a very busy morning here. the world is awaiting israel's next move following iran's unprecedented attacks on the country with hundreds of missiles and drones. it comes after iranian military officers were killed on the consulate in syria. >> janai: president biden back to the white house early from his retreat in delaware, the administration again pledging unwavering support for israel using that word -- ironclad. g7 leaders holding a video conference this afternoon. we'll speak with the president's national security spokesman. >> gio: and the idf saying it shot down 99% of the drones and missiles. the u.s. also saying it helped with dozens of interceptions. this is iran's first ever direct military attack on israel. it's a major escalation and we've got team coverage. we begin here with abc's britt clennett in jerusalem. good morning, britt. you were hearing the sirens for much of the night. >> reporter: good morning, gio.

it was a tense and long night here in jerusalem after that massive attack from iran. we saw explosions peppering the sky from all angles. air raid sirens blaring out and residents urged to take shelter. this for the first time iran ever carried out strikes against israeli territory. israel this morning saying it thwarted a major attack overnight from iran with the help of the u.s. the first ever strikes directly from iranian soil, on israel. iran launching a barrage of more than 300 missiles and attack drones, most shot down by the idf and u.s. before entering israeli territory, but not all. explosions lighting up the night sky over jerusalem. the sound of emergency sirens piercing the air, warning people to seek shelter from the ongoing assault. prime minister benjamin netanyahu with a message on social media this morning. we intercepted, we blocked. together, we will win. last night, netanyahu saying, we

are prepared for any scenario, both in defense and attack. the idf saying they intercepted the majority of the projectiles with over 90% success rate. one arab israeli girl was critically injured in an attack in southern israel. >> this is a severe and dangerous escalation. our defensive and offensive capabilities are at the highest level of readiness. >> reporter: u.s. armed forces helped to shoot down dozens of objects launched at israel, according to abc sources. the u.s. embassy in jerusalem lifting its shelter in place order saying the threat of missiles and drones has diminished. iran says its attack was to avenge israel's strike on the iranian consulate in syria last week leaving 16 people dead, including two generals of the revolutionary guard. people seen celebrating in the streets of tehran amid iran's assault on israel. president biden scrapping his weekend plans to return to the white house, seen here meeting with his national security team in the situation room. biden also reaffirming his pledge to help israel in their

defense, hopping on a call with prime minister netanyahu, telling him overnight, israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unprecedented attacks. the leaders of the g7 meeting today over video conference to coordinate a response to this weekend's attack. the world is now waiting to see what israel's next move will be. prime minister benjamin netanyahu convening the war cabinet in just a few hours to discuss their response, and iran with a warning to the u.s. to not take part in any retaliatory strike. guys? >> janai: so much to continue watching. britt, thank you for that. we continue our coverage from israel with a look at what residents experienced on the ground overnight. josh einiger from our new york station wabc is in jerusalem. josh, good morning. we heard britt say that you saw explosions, heard the air raid sirens. >> reporter: it was quite an experience, janai. good morning to you, and i'm standing in front of the old city here in jerusalem, these

old thousands-year-old buildings still standing. everything's still standing which is quite a relief for people who have emerged from their shelters today. they did have days to prepare for what might come. there was a bit of a run on grocery stores and then a few hours before this happened, the israel home front defense issued a warning closing schools, and canceling large-scale public activities, and then there was, of course, hours to prepare, but nothing could prepare you for the light show in the sky that we saw here over the old city in jerusalem. from this vantage point, we saw about 10 to 12 projectiles streaking through the sky and we saw the iron dome defense system taking them out one after another. we all went to shelter, our team of three along with other people in the hotel were staying. we were in the staircase. we went down to the basement and when we got the all-clear, we came back upstairs and heard more explosions. we turned and looked at the old city and saw over the vicinity

of the al aqsa mask fireworks, clearly supporters of the iran regime cheering after this unprecedented attack last night. whit? >> whit: josh einiger for us, we appreciate it. joining us now from washington is national security council spokesman john kirby. john, good morning to you. it's always great to have you. so israel and the u.s. have been expecting the response from iran, but this was unprecedented. was the administration surprised in any way by the scale of this attack? >> it absolutely was a massive air attack that iran launched on israel. we have been watching as closely as we could, the intelligence picture. we had a pretty good indication of the size and the scale and the scope of what iran was planning, and that is why because we had a good sense of what they were going to do, and with how much, that's why we were able to really help israel knock down almost everything that iran threw at them. >> whit: and john, we know that president biden and prime minister netanyahu spoke over the phone last night, and there is a report that biden told

netanyahu that the u.s. will oppose any israeli counterattack against iran. can you confirm what was said and what other context could you provide for that conversation? >> that's not -- that's not an accurate reading of the conversation. the president understands the prime minister runs a government for a sovereign state of israel and that they'll decide whether and how they're going to respond to what iran did last night. we respect that, but again, the president's message to the prime minister was that he knows that the united states stands with israel. there wasn't just the united states. other countries also helped israel defend itself last night, that israel demonstrated a superior military capability to what the iranians threw up against them, and as we've said many, many times, we don't want to see the situation escalate

further. we're not looking for a war with iran. >> whit: do you expect israel will strike back directly at iran, and what's the u.s. role now going forward? >> i won't speak for the israelis. that's going to be up to them to decide whether and how they'll respond to this. they showed last night an incredible military capability on their own, but certainly in concert with friends. they also showed iran that israel does have friends, that there was a coalition that helped them support themselves. that alone is significant, and of course, the damage was extremely light. again, showing how unified the united states and israel are in israel's self-defense. >> whit: and iran warned the u.s. to stay out of this conflict, and yet we saw our assets taking down missiles and drones in the skies. is there a concern now from the administration that iran could respond with an attack on the u.s. or u.s. assets? >> the president also made clear in that statement last night that he'll do whatever he has to

to protect our troops and our facilities, our people in the region, and we will do that, and we have sent a very clear signal to iran privately and publicly that any attack on our troops and our facilities will have consequences. we're very serious about that. we have not seen any threats -- specific threats to our personnel or our facilities, but we'll stay vigilant to that, absolutely, but when it comes to defending israel, again, the president has been very, very clear. israel is a good friend and an ally, and our commitment to them is ironclad, commitment to helping them defend themselves and we've shown that last night. >> whit: our viewers might be wondering, what does this mean for us and our troops in the region? and how likely is it the u.s. is getting pulled into this wider-scale war in the middle east? >> well, it's important to remember that our troops are in the region largely to go after isis, and that's isis in iraq and isis in syria. that's why they're there, and we

add additional forces to the region since october 7th to help with defense of israel and to help the defense of commercial shipping in the red sea. largely what we're doing with the exception of the mission against isis which is an active mission, we're largely in a defense role in the red sea, in the gulf of aden, in the eastern mediterranean. that is what we're there for. we're going to obviously be vigilant to any potential threat on the forces in the region. the president has been clear we're not looking for a war. we're not looking for a second or third front. we're not looking for escalation and we're certainly not looking for a war with iran. iran responded in an unprecedented way. israel defended in a truly unprecedented, remarkable way. we don't want to see this situation escalate further. >> whit: yeah. the world is watching to see what happens next. john kirby, thank you for your time this morning. we appreciate it. janai? >> janai: right now to abc news contributor, colonel steve ganyard who joins us.

steve, thank you so much for being with us. your extensive military experience, based on what you just heard, john kirby there saying they don't want this conflict to spread further, but what's your feeling about whether that happens? >> well, janai, iran doesn't actually have a lot of friends in the world. the chinese and the russians have been helpful in various ways, but in the region, they don't really have many friends. most of the gulf countries, the saudis, the emirates, the kuwaitties, they don't like iran much either so it's hard to see how this would spread much farther. the key is the gloves have been dropped. it's no longer a shadow war between israel and iran. iran will now be vulnerable to israeli counterattacks. they are indeed vulnerable. the israeli air force can own the air space over iran. the ships at sea and submarines that israel has make most of the iranian shipping and navy vulnerable. it will be interesting to see

how iran -- or how israel reacts to this, and what they're able to do. i don't think that they need to rush it. they have some time to think about it and pick the targets, but i think there will be some sort of response from israel going forward. >> janai: okay. so we will be watching for a potential response. in terms of the weapons that iran used, you heard john kirby there call it a massive air attack. just how forceful was this? >> yeah. it really, really was remarkable. i think everybody was caught off guard about how many weapons that iran actually launched at israel. if you think about it, janai, the intercepts of these weapons were done from, say, 100 feet off the ground all the way to the edge of space. that's remarkable defensive military technology achievement. much of it was either funded by the u.s. or u.s. technology. note that almost one-quarter of the weapons that were intercepted last night were done by u.s. forces. jordanian forces helped out. we believe that maybe the saudis and emirates may have helped out.

the uk helped out. there was all sorts of help here for israel, but remarkable achievement to only have one person wounded after almost 330 weapons launched from iran. >> janai: so an unprecedented attack, but relatively minimal damage. so steve, was this attack calibrated to send a message or really to do damage? >> yeah. the iranians had been warned to not escalate the situation, maybe to do something that was just at least a notional payback to israel. this is why i think most people were caught unaware is that 300 weapons were launched. that is beyond just a message. that was a true intent to hurt israel, and so i think that was a surprise here, and i think that the iranians can't be surprised when the israelis retaliate in kind. >> janai: colonel steve ganyard, thank you so much for being with us this morning to add that context. gio? >> gio: and all of this could have a major impact on the markets and oil prices.

abc's alexis christoforous is here tracking that part of the story. good morning, alexis. >> reporter: good morning, gio. unrest in the middle east has wall street on high alert. investors are bracing for another spike in oil prices and in a possible stock selloff when the opening bell sounds on wall street tomorrow. stocks were already in selloff mode tomorrow in anticipation of iran's attack on israel. stocks had their worst week of the year while oil prices climbed to a six-month high topping $90 a barrel, a level not seen since the early days of the israel/hamas war. analysts are now predicting oil prices above $100 a barrel as turmoil in the middle east threatens oil supply in the region, putting key shipping routes in jeopardy, and potentially sending gas prices and inflation soaring. it was just weeks ago stocks were rallying to record highs on hopes the fed would deliver three interest rate cuts this year. those hopes were dashed after reports confirmed inflation is back on the rise, and now the risk of a wider regional war in

the middle east is pressuring global stock markets, sending investors running to the relative safety of bombs, gold, and the u.s. dollar. whit? >> whit: something else to watch in all of this. alexis, thank you. we appreciate it. turning to other news, and the historic case getting under way tomorrow in new york as donald trump becomes the first former u.s. president to stand trial on criminal charges. he's accused of falsifying business records to hide hush money payments to adult film actress stormy daniels. aaron katersky is here now with more. >> reporter: whit, good morning to you. as you say, a former president has never stood trial as a criminal defendant. so tomorrow, here in the city he once called home, donald trump achieves a status he repeatedly tried to avoid. on the eve of his criminal trial, former president trump is brimming with confidence. >> all i can do is tell the truth and the truth is there's no case. they have no case. >> reporter: trump launched a flurry of last-ditch efforts trying to delay the trial

repeatedly dispatching his lawyers to an appeals court with a plea to postpone the trial, alleging the judge's bias, the jury pool tainted and the limited gag order is unfair. the court rejecting each one. when trump claimed the jurors have seen too much about the case, the publicity was at least in part by his own doing. hundreds of people will show up for jury selection and answer 42 questions like have you ever attended a rally or campaign event for donald trump? do you currently follow donald trump on any social media site? do you have feelings or opinions about how mr. trump is being treated in this case? >> you know, jury selection is largely luck. it depends who you get. >> reporter: prosecutors will try to convince the jury he wanted to influence the 2016 election when he directed his former fixer michael cohen to pay off film actress stormy daniels to keep quiet about a long denied affair. reimbursement checks to cohen. >> the fact he was paying michael cohen for legal services performed in 2017, this simply was not true. >> reporter: cohen and daniels are expected to testify along

with several or current or former members of trump's inner circle including his former director of office operations madeleine westerhout, and hope hicks. this moment in political history is going to unfold under tight security. it has to because the defendant has secured the republican nomination for president. >> gio: so aaron, talk to us about the importance of the trial here given the time frame. >> it's maybe the only one of the four criminal prosecutions donald trump faces that's ever going to make it to trial. even the manhattan d.a. has said the interest of justice would be better served if one of the other trials about classified documents or election interference went to trial first, but those cases are all mired in delays, and so this one is the one that starts tomorrow and maybe the only one before the election. >> gio: and like you said, something we've never seen before. aaron katersky, good to have you. thank you so much. tune into "this week" later. george stephanopoulos speaks with new hampshire governor

chris sununu ahead of donald trump's first criminal trial starting tomorrow. plus more from white house national security spokesperson john kirby as george speaks with him about the latest developments between israel and iran. all right. time now to switch gears here and go to somara theodore with a look at the weather, and somara, it has been very rainy in parts of the country. >> somara: yes, and we had an extremely active last week. to, take a look at this. this is just in bodycam from louisiana where an ef-2 tornado was on the ground for nine miles. you can see these first responders rescuing a woman from a flipped car. they have surveyed the damage. structures completely brought down from this tornado we saw last week, wednesday, and the threat for severe weather persists. so, we have a line or round of storms that moves through tonight sweeping across pennsylvania from cambridge to pittsburgh, state college to scranton. you all are in that hot zone where we could see some damaging winds as well as tornadoes, and then the threat also persists in the heartland. starting off your workweek, if

aircraft maker. abc's jay o'brien joins us from washington with more. jay, good morning. it has been a tough go for boeing. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, janai. more headaches for boeing. southwest, a major u.s. airline now reportedly bracing to receive about half of the jet liners it expected from boeing this year after deliveries have been delayed because of new quality and safety checks. the airline telling abc news that it's in touch with boeing as the manufacturer continues to refine its delivery schedule, but this is already expected to have an impact on southwest operational plans. those new quality control measures come after that door plug blew off an alaska airlines boeing 737 9 max midair prompting a flurry of safety concerns. on capitol hill, a boeing engineer turned whistle-blower now expected to testify before the senate subcommittee this week. he previously detailed what he claims are engineering issues with the way the fuselage of a

different boeing aircraft, a 737 dreamliner is put together. boeing has called his concerns inaccurate and says the issues raised were subject to rigorous engineering examination under faa oversight and found to not present any safety concerns. that same senate subcommittee has requested that boeing ceo dave calhoun testify. the company not saying this morning if he plans to comply with that request. guys? >> gio: all right, jay, and i'll join you there that week for that major testimony. thank you so much. still ahead here on "good morning america," much more on the iranian strikes on israel as we go back live to israel. >> whit: plus, the latest from the white house on the u.s. response. >> janai: and then our military contributor general douglas lute on what happens next. you don't want to miss this. we'll be right back here on "gma." you don't want to miss this. we'll be right back here on "gma." for all moms everywhere. i'm one of thousands of runners

missiles, pushing the middle east ever closer to a region-wide war and threatening even bigger escalation. >> whit: and this is the first time iran has ever launched a direct military assault on israel, claiming this is revenge for an air strike on its consulate in syria. >> gio: so let's go back now to abc's britt clennett in jerusalem right now as we await israel's next move. good morning again, britt. >> reporter: hi, gio. yeah, there's still a tense atmosphere here as everyone awaits to see what will come next, whether this will escalate even further. this morning, after iran's unprecedented, direct attack on israel last night, the world now waiting for israel's next move. israel's war cabinet will soon convene to coordinate what their response will be following the attack. iran launching an estimated 300 use and ballistic missiles in retaliation for its attack on the consulate in syria that

killed topped commanders, explosions as air sirens rang throughout the country. as the sirens are blaring out over jerusalem right now, we can see several rockets in lots of directions and every few minutes, we're hearing interceptions in the background there. the u.s. helping to shoot down the vast majority of the projectiles. very little damage reported although one young girl was critically injured in southern israel. idf spokesperson daniel hagari this morning saying israel's general staff have approved plans moving forward and presented them to the political echelon adding, iran committed a very serious act tonight pushing the middle east towards escalation. iran saying that after the attack, the matter can be deemed concluded unless israel responds with more military action. now on israel's request, the u.n. security council will hold an emergency meeting this afternoon to discuss the attack, and israel's representative to the u.n. saying the iranian attack is a serious threat to global peace and security. whit? >> whit: britt clennett for us, thank you once again.

the u.s. has a large troop presence in the region, and promised unspecified support for israel. officials also saying they shot down the iranian drones and missiles headed toward israel. abc's white house correspondent maryalice parks is joining us now from the north lawn with more on the administration's response. maryalice, good morning. >> reporter: yeah, whit, good morning. after a tense day here at the white house and overnight, the president huddled with his senior advisers in the situation room for hours and of course, speaking directly with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. you could feel this morning, the white house breathing a bit of a sigh of relief, grateful that u.s. service capabilities, the israeli defense capabilities worked so remarkably well. grateful that iran seems to only have targeted military bases, and in the end damage was extremely light. we heard the white house national security adviser john kirby telling you, whit, that any israeli response will be up to them, but it's hard to imagine the u.s. in any way, at least publicly helping with that

kind of response. the president, the entire administration has been very clear they do not want direct conflict with iran. they do not want a tit for tat, a back and forth to spiral into a larger regional war. that is the big anxiety, and i imagine here at home too, there will be an anxiety that the focus has now shifted away from gaza. many in the president's own party we know have been lobbying this white house so hard. the president in turn lobbying netanyahu aggressively to allow more aid into gaza where civilians are facing famine, getting aid in, limiting that suffering. still a major priority for this white house. the white house is not going to want that to get lost, gio. >> gio: such a serious issue, maryalice, and that's why we want to go ahead and bring in contributor lieutenant general douglas lute. general lute, thank you so much for being here. since the israel/hamas war started six months ago, everyone has been concerned that this conflict will set off a wider war in the region. so is this it? >> well, there's no question

that it's broadened, because now you have for the first time in recent history, a scale of an attack and the origin of the attack from iran directly. so here iran directly hitting israel has to some extent already broadened the conflict. it doesn't mean, however, that this escalatory ladder has to continue. i think the next step is over to israel to see what's next. >> gio: so let's talk about this because u.s. officials say american forces have shot down dozens of those drones and missiles. with this kind of involvement, what is the u.s. risking? >> well, look. first of all, the u.s. is stepping up and doing what it says it will do, which is stand with israel in the legitimate defense of israel itself. so that's entirely expected. the u.s. has been intercepting drones and cruise missiles emanating from israel's -- correction. iran's partners, its proxies for some time now.

think the houthis for example, or iranian-based shia militia in syria and iraq. so that's not different. what's different, these missiles originated from iran proper. >> gio: and general lute, let's talk about gaza here quickly. what will this mean for israel's operation in gaza and the people there? >> i don't see an immediate impact on israel's fight in gaza. the air defense systems overnight worked as advertised, and this is a world class air defense system, but the fight in gaza is quite distinct and quite different. i don't imagine that the netanyahu government will change its objectives in gaza as a result of the overnight attacks. >> gio: lieutenant general douglas lute, thank you so much for joining us here on "gma." all right. time now for the weather. somara theodore is back on that,

>> whit: and we're back here on "gma" with look at the talented female college basketball players looking to turn pro tomorrow. there's not much mystery about when caitlin clark will be selected, but the drama only begins there. espn basketball analyst andraya carter has more on the wnba draft. andraya, good morning. it's great to have you back. >> good morning, thank you. >> whit: you've recovered from the finals and everything? >> barely. it was unreal. i'm still gathering my thoughts on the finals. >> whit: exactly. we know caitlin clark going number one, but we want to get your take on how you think she's transition from college to the wnba. >> i think her game will transition immediately and i think she'll perform really well. she has good size and great vision, and the thing with caitlin clark, she's an incredible passer. is, now, you put her on the court with players like aliyah boston, kelsey mitchell and

alissa and players that can score, she's going to find them. she makes the right reads and plays, and her vision and size, and one thing she can do is knock down shots. she'll have a better chance of getting open shots now that she's in the wnba because her teammates can help create for her. there's going to be less expected of her as far as the load she carries. the competition will be better, it's going to be physical. and she'll be competing with grown women with what i like to call mom strength. that's different level, but she has the skills, she has the size. she's talented and she's competitive and so i think her game transitions right away. >> janai: i love that. >> whit: mom strength is real. >> it's a thing. >> janai: so after clark, i mean, the next picks can go a couple of different ways. what do you see for two and three? >> two, three, four, five, it's all up in the air as far as the lottery picks for the wnba. for two, three, and four, so the sparks have two and four. chicago has three. these are two teams that are in rebuild mode that need talent, but as far as that talent, it could be cameron brink from

stanford, kamilla cardoso of south carolina who just won a national championship. or rickea jackson from tennessee. those are three players that i think could go two through four, but we don't know who the sparks are going to take at two. who the sparks take at two, that's where everything's going to unfold after that. do they take cameron brink first and then try to get kamilla, or rickea, and then try to get cameron brink? so, where those three players go, i think they all go top five, but i cannot tell you exactly where they're going to go. >> gio: okay. you are the expert in this. you have been covering ncaa all season long. who do you have your eyes on right now? >> so one player that has been up and down the draft board is one that a lot of people know and that's angel reese from lsu. she won a national championship last season, made it to the final four. she made it in this season, and for angel reese, the thing is we aren't sure where she's going to go because she's a relentless rebounder. she has incredible energy. she plays with a chip on her shoulder. she's a winner. she's a competitor. she finishes in this unorthodox way, so you can't tell how it

will translate to the wnba. she has room to grow in the game. she has to work on her jump shot, but she has a high ceiling. she has a high motor. there's a lot of upside to where angel reese is going to go in the wnba. we just aren't sure which team is going to draft her. >> whit: we love a feel-good story here on "good morning america," right? >> yeah. >> whit: tell us more about kamilla cardoso from south carolina because she has such an amazing story in the basketball community, really getting behind it. >> kamilla is -- it's such a special story when you talk about taking a chance and leaving your family. kamilla was born in brazil. kamilla left her family at the age of 15 to come over to the united states to play. she played in chattanooga, tennessee. she went to syracuse, had an incredible year at syracuse, transitioned to south carolina, transfers there. she comes off the bench. she's sixth woman of the year in the s.e.c., and then she's defensive player of the year in the s.e.c., dominates this season when this was finally her time. >> whit: and in the tournament especially. lights out. >> in the tournament, incredible

showing. we're talking 17 rebounds, 15 points, blocking shots. just coming into her own, but when you talk about someone leaving their family, and she's a family person. she's known as a mama's girl. she loves her family. she's very close to them, left them as a child, to come over here and play the game of basketball, to want to make it to the wnba, and that's exactly what she did. now she has the chance to be a lottery pick in the wnba. it's a really special moment for her, for her family, for south carolina fans, and for just basketball fans. >> janai: incredible personal stories. the story of the draft, who goes two, three, four? i love that we're talking about women's sports so much, and you're so good at it. thank you. >> gio: and moms, strong moms. >> mom strength. >> janai: mom strength. stick around. moms. >> mom strength. >> janai: mom strength. stick around. surprise party.
