fronts for a cease-fire and hostage release in gaza and against iran. >> we intend to take additional strikes and additional action to continue to send a clear message. >> reporter: waves of american strikes against iranian-backed militia went all weekend, including on friday night in syria and iraq, hitting munition stores and drones in response to the killing of three u.s. service members. their bodies arriving home as b-1 bombers take off from the u.s. on saturday a second operation, multinational, and separate, the u.s. said, launched from the "u.s.s. eisenhower, 36 strikes in yemen, against 13 houthi targets, disrupting shipping in the red sea. yesterday, angry iraqi leaders held funerals, the number of dead in double figures. despite the pentagon saying it targeted iran's revolutionary

guard, the strikes heavily signalled in advance did not kill high-value iranian operatives, not so far. >> have you ruled out strikes inside iran? >> i'm not going to get into what we ruled in and ruled out. >> reporter: now, iran releasing a highly produced video in english warning the u.s. not to sink an iranian ship, the behshad, accused of helping the houthis. >> those engaging in terrorist activities jeopardize international maritime roads, security and responsibility for future international risks. >> reporter: tracking data reviewed by nbc news shows the ship, some experts believe to be an iranian spy vessel, close by when commercial shipping is targeted in the red sea, and gulf of aden. as america prepared its response last week, nbc news watched the behshad move away. and this morning, the houthis issuing another defiant message, despite, savannah, those strikes

over the weekend insisting yemen has the capability to defend itself and, they say, inflict severe blows on the enemy. simply nothing has happened through this weekend that is deescalating things in this region. >> not by a long shot. keir, thank you. let's get perspective on those air strikes by jeremy bash. he served as chief of staff at the department of defense and the cia. jeremy, good morning. >> good morning. >> from a military perspective, what do you make of this response so far? >> friday's attacks, 85 targets, 7 locations using b-1 bombers out of texas, this was tactically significant to degrade the capability of these shia militia groups sponsored by iran. ultimately whether it changes the calculus of iran, whether it changes their minds and causes them to back off, only time will tell. >> you said the u.s. is hitting iranian proxies, not targets inside iran. not yet anyway. if you want that kind of deterrence, do you have to send

a stronger message? >> i think more will come. jake sullivan said as much on "meet the press" and other shows yesterday. so the administration is clearly not done, there are going to be more kinetic strikes, more air strikes against targets. i don't think we're at the point where the administration wants to hit inside iran. i think they view that right now as too escalatory. they don't want a wider war. >> let's run it out here because the u.s. does not want the wider war. it has a proxy war already as you and i talked about many, many times. the question is, is iran getting what it wants here in terms of destabilizing the region? >> iran is achieving some of its objectives. after all, before october 7th, israel, the united states and the saudi arabian kingdom were on the cusp of a peace deal. iran wanted to disrupt that. these attacks and wars across the middle east have been iran's response. they have disrupted it and set back those peat efforts. >> meanwhile, in gaza there is a

deal on the table that would exchange the rest of the remaining hostages for a cease-fire. no word on how long a cease-fire might last. it seems to be the ball is in hamas' court. that according to israeli sources. so how do you see this playing out? >> i'm hearing from my sources as well that israel has effectively signed off on the negotiations. now qatar and egypt are pressuring hamas to return a deal that would return the hostages don't forget, six americans ar still being held hostage by hamas. >> jeremy bash, thank you very much appreciate it. the battle on the border hit an impasse a landmark senate deal aimed at toughening immigration laws is facing stiff opposition from the house. ryan nobles is in d.c. with what happens next ryan, good morning >> reporter: good morning. this $118 billion package would give aid to the front lines in ukraine and provides humanitarian assistance to those impacted by the war between hamas and israel but the key aspect of this deal is the impact it would have on

the southern border. and then within minutes of its release, house republicans were signaling that the immigration reforms were not enough and warned the bill won't even get a vote after weeks of closed-door meetings, rumors, and promises, senate negotiators finally revealed their plan to confront four different national security emergencies. the $118 billion package provides $60 billion to help support ukraine, $14.1 billion for israel, $4.8 billion to deal with china's growing reach and perhaps the most important ingredient, $20 billion to fund a series of changes to the u.s. migration system the border component, designed to win over skeptical house republicans who have been forecasting for weeks the potential deal may not be enough speaker johnson posting overnight, quote, this bill is even worse than we expected. if this bill reaches the house,

it will be dead on arrival republicans in the senate have called this the most conservative border proposal in a generation it cuts off all migration when more than 5,000 people attempt to enter on a given day. it raises the standard for migrants to qualify for asylum but house republicans, who count immigration among their most important issues, are feeling pressure from their base and former president trump to oppose the package and instead place the blame for the border crisis on president biden >> the border is a disaster. nobody's ever seen a border like this t>> reporter: pressed by krist welker on "meet the press," speaker mike johnson denied trump was exerting influence over his conference. >> is donald trump calling the shots here, mr. speaker? >> of course not he's not calling the shots i am calling the shots for the house. >> reporter: a new poll shows voters trust trump more than biden to deal with the border by 35 points. now with the proposal on the table, republicans will be

forced to decide between dealing with the issue now or wait and hope it will compel their voters to the polls in november and despite republican opposition, president biden has already expressed his support for the package. in a statement, he called it, quote, the toughest and fairest set of border reforms in decades and adding that he strongly supports it. hoda >> ryan nobles for us at the capitol. ryan, thank you. >> quarter after, we've got craig and boeing with another issue overnight. >> good morning. good morning to you as well, folks. it's been one month since that terrifying incident. involving a boeing 737 max plane. well, now the company says it's found another quality glitch on that same fleet. nbc's senior correspondent tom costello covers aviation for us. tom, what more do we know about this latest issue? >> reporter: craig, good morning. this is a new problem with the 737 max. it's been found and will now
