>> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with peter alexander and laura jarrett. live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. good morning. welcome to "today." thank you for joining us on this busy saturday morning. >> a lot of news over the last 24 hours. we want to begin with the top story. the retaliatory air strikes friday against 85 targets in iraq and syria. the u.s. warned that a response was coming after the drone strike in jordan last weekend that killed three service members. top officials indicating the response to last days if not we weeks. >> we have full coverage next. let's begin with the chief international correspondent keir simmons near the border with

syria. keir. >> reporter: laura and peter, good morning, the strikes were over within an hour deploying 125 munitions according to the united states flying b-1 bombers. the strikes took place along the iraq-syria border. that border that runs to jordan and tower 22 where the three service members were killed. it is clearly an escalation. drone facilities were hit. munitions. it is restricted to the area. the clear message from the biden administration to tehran, do not kill americans. that being said, iraq issuing a blistering statement accusing the u.s. of deception for saying it was warned about the strikes and saying iraq is on the edge of the abyss. iraq is a partner to the u.s. and to iran.

underscoring the difficult judgment the biden administration needs to make. for many americans, these strikes will underscore the reach in the region even after what we are told is the first stage of the operation. there were fresh strikes on the houthis in yemen by the u.s. and reports of israeli strikes south of damascus. the issue is this moves into a wider war o now our nbc news ch

security and diplomacy analyst. nice to have you on. let's start with helping us understand the real strategic purpose behind the strikes and how will we really know if they

were effective? >> there are two purposes at play here, laura. one is tactical. it is to destroy as much as possible. reduce the ability of the militias to strike the u.s. the strategic purpose is to deter iran from further ininn citemet of houthis. the message delivered. >> admiral, the president said yesterday the u.s. does not seek conflict in the middle east or anywhere else in the world. that is the challenge for this white house for this president to retaliate without this turning into a wider war. how concerned should we be? >> he has to sail a narrow sea

and tight channel here. on one siside, if he doesn't do enough, iran will go after international shipping and threaten allies and partners in the region. if he does too much, peter, we are off to the races in a wider war. here's the good news. it is a narrow channel, but the ent of homeland security will go to a higher alert stage. globally, we are sharing intelligence across the networks with allies and partners and friends around the globe. our units in the middle east are

most at risk. our ships at sea and soldiers will elevate their response levels in all the unblinking eyes of u.s. intelligence focused on iran to give us the heads up. >> thank you so much for your time. with the u.s. retaliating against the iranian-backed targets, new question on the impact for peace talks with israel and hamas. we have raf sanchez in israel with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, peter. these negotiations are designed to pause the fighting in gaza and get more humanitarian aid to the civilians and secure the release of some of the israeli hostages. we have not heard any official reaction from the israeli government. we are hearing from hamas this

morning condemning the strikes and seeing joint israeli and u.s. aggression. there is no indication that strikes from the u.s. would derail talks with israel and hamas in gaza. there are other hurdles here. hamas is saying as part of any deal, the war in gaza needs to end and thousands of palestinians need to be released from israeli prisons, including senior officials convicted of terrorism. israel is saying it will not accept those conditions and it is threatening to attack the city of rafah in southern gaza where more than 1 million palestinian civilians are currently sheltering. the u.s. and qatar trying to get the deal over the line. peter. >> raf in israel. thank you so much. back here at home now, the fulton county district attorney overseeing the georgia election

interference case speaking out since being accused of having a relationship with the special prosecutor on the case. blayne alexander has more. >> reporter: fani willis is breaking her silence. in the filing, she acknowledges a personal relationship with nathan wade. the special prosecutor to lead the georgia election case against former president trump. willis denies any financial benefit for conflict of interest writing, the allegations are salacious, they were designed to obtain, they do not provide basis to be removed from the base. accusing willis of benefitting from the relationship saying wade used money he earned from the d.a.'s office to pay for vacations together. in her response, willis provided her receipts saying travel was

split between the two. writing, both are professionals with substantial income and arguing wade made more money than the other prosecutors because he did more work. the filing included a sworn affidavit from wade who said the two were professional associates and friends when hired on the case, they later developed a personal relationship. in a response of his own, michael roman said he has witnesses to tell the relationship began before wade's hiring. all of it has brought scrutiny to the closely watched case against donald trump and to willis herself. mr. donald trump had sought to have the charges dismissed. posting the sam is discredited and over. it all comes amid new pressure from congress where republican congress member jim jordan has subpoenaed willis seeing if she

misused federal money. willis wants the judge to cancel the hearing and vows to fight the subpoena calling it an attempt to embarrass and harasser. peter and laura. >> thank you. and in a separate case, the federal judge delayed the interference trial. the move comes with the federal appeals court in washington still deciding if the former president should be immune for actions in office. laura, what does this delay mean for this case? when will it happen and what does it mean for the former president? >> the trial date in march was a long shot. we have been waiting three weeks to hear from the federal appeals court. she cannot do anything until that court decides if he is immune. if he is immune, the case goes

away. it will be on pause indefinitely. the court comes back quickly and they have to make up for the time with the delays. they have to tack on time and the real upshot is the case that could go against him first is the one here in new york city on the hush money. something unrelated to the election. >> the question is if that case happens before the election. >> dwindling by the day. laura, thank you. it is the time for the check of the forecast. the west coast is bracing for another round of rain that is expected to last for several days. that is on top of the deluge that california saw this week. several inches falling in a few hours. flash flooding in places leaving people needing to be rescued. meteorologist angie lassman is tracking the threat on the way. they need a break out west. >> that system earlier in the week was the appetizer. this is really going to be a

doozy over the next couple days. impactful rain will approach the coast for the later part of saturday. flood alerts up for 36 million people for most of california. they will last through the beginning of the workweek. here is the area we are concerned with over flash flooding. san diego and santa barbara and san francisco has the chance of flooding and mudslides. it is not just a one-day thing. we see this from sunday and then through the beginning of the workweek. here is the timeline. 8:00 p.m. and it starts to pick up the intensity as we get into early sunday and then stretching through the day. notice we're going to see heavy snow and strong winds across the sierra. that is impactful for travel. nearly impossible for travel. not to mentioned flooding
