ila i mean, he is one that tomorrow please donate. now joining we are following breaking news, iran launching a barrage of missiles into israel, major escalation in the conflict in the middle east. >> i'm anderson cooper alongside my colleague wolf blitzer. we've witnessed missiles intercepted across israel a short time ago as air raid sirens went off on the ground below the israeli military now confirms some of those missiles made a direct impact in central and southern israel. it's estimated iran launched nearly 200 missiles, hundred projectiles iran says this attack was in response for the killing of hezbollah's leader hassan nasrallah and other assassinations a source

says the israeli security cabinet is in their emergency bunker right down the israeli military says, iran's attack and i'm quoting now will have consequences. >> the white house says both president biden and vice president harris are in the white house situation room monitoring the situation. we're standing by to get an immediate update from rome white house officials and from the u.s. state department. we also expect to hear from the pentagon i want to show you the moment cnn crews saw the iranian missiles entering tel aviv's airspace earlier this afternoon. watch this this is a summarizing major mike jim sciutto. this is obviously a major attack. there's no question we're seeing what we're all seeing with our own eyes is a major attack from iran. >> it's a major attack. dana and it's an escalation. it's an escalation of this war beyond what we saw. i think potentially beyond what we saw in april when it, when iran

launched dozens of missiles and drones, this attack, according to us intelligence principally or perhaps entirely ballistic missiles which are the fastest by far. and the most dangerous and now what we're seeing in addition to those intercepts as we're seeing fragments falling to the ground, it's like yeah, deadly a deadly fireworks display over tel aviv there was an impact. >> you tell us here. >> and you're talking about tel aviv, jim, we are looking at pictures right now. we are looking picture at pictures of tel aviv. what you're describing >> okay, guys, we got to get off the roof. these are coming down right? next to us here. >> please do, jim please do they're coming down one just about we got to go inside jim, please take cover

listening and we are watching so that was roughly half an hour and a half ago. >> i wanted to go back to jim sciutto, who is still in tel aviv back on the roof here, sought cover at a certain point about an hour or so ago. jim, just talk about what first of all, how are things right now and talk a little bit about the video that we just saw. what we were looking at should be clear. the air raid sirens have ended and there was an announcement of fact, a

short time ago saying it's okay to return safely. and as i understand it, even iran iranian officials have said that this attack from their perspective, is over, but let me describe as this was happening and to be clear, it's our it's our whole team here. and you know, well, anderson, that there's a lot of folks that go into getting images like that on the air what we were seeing was not just the incoming missiles, but the whole array of israeli air defenses firing to intercept those missiles. and it's multilayered around the city, both in terms of the altitudes they strike, but also just layers of defenses and as it struck me, as i was watching it, is that they were coming to a meeting point in the sky just above us, just to the east of us here, but also increasingly above our heads so that we saw, we could see the missile fragments, as you're seeing, there coming down, or perhaps the intercepted missiles once they've completed their mission, perhaps struck a target coming down and the one you just saw right there on the

screen. because i believe that's the top of our hotel there at the blue light came just to the right of us and once it was clear to me, anderson and wolf that these intercepts i'm sure we're taking place above our heads. gravity works we decided to go inside until that particular barrage was over. then there was a pause in between. we came out again and then there was a second barrage of about the same duration. so at least dozens of missiles, it seems and i find it remarkable frankly, that there were no casualties as admiral hagari just said, a short time ago because in addition to those impacts that you're seeing there on the air, there was quite a large one just to the north of us with flames and smoke rising off in the distance so i think that folks were listening to those air raid signals. thankfully, they were going into shelters. they have a lot of experience with that here and there was probably some good fortune involved that prevented there being casualties. i should note though, we mentioned this earlier, there were casualties

tonight in tel aviv, eight people killed at a light rail station, a shooting at a light rail station just before those missiles started falling. and israeli authorities say they're investigating that as a potential terrorist attack right? >> and that took part it took place in jaffa, which is in a suburb in tel aviv. can you talk a little bit about what is going on now in terms of israel trying to decide when if, how to respond israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, his defense minister, and other security officials are meeting right now to discuss, you did hear those public that public pronouncement from daniel hagari saying that this was a serious attack. >> his words on tel aviv and there will be serious consequences. and then i found it notable that michael oren, when he was speaking with wolf just a short time ago, mike,

laura, and of course former israeli ambassador to the the us, that he said that iran's nuclear facilities are not immune to such a response. he's not in those meetings, right? now. he's not making those decisions. but that question is an open one and it's not a new one because there there's a there's a cohort in this country that has for some time wanted to strike iranian nuclear facilities not clear that they've made the decision to do that, but that is at least a possibility and that it's hard to see how that would not lead to a broader, more open war between israel and iran and the carry on effect of that is that the u.s might find itself involved as well, whether it wants to be or not because there are capabilities that the u.s. has that are greater than israel's in terms of direct defending israeli territory in terms of shooting down incoming

missiles, i was told just prior to this attack that the u.s. would participate in israel's defense and would shoot down missiles. if if it had those targets, i'd be surprised that they did not participate, did not shoot down some of these. but if there was an open war between israel and iran on that scale the risks of the u.s. being involved are quite high all right. >> jim sciutto, i want you to stay safe over there. be careful over there because this situation clearly is not over by any means right now, a very dangerous situation in the middle east we're standing by for briefings. we expect officials at the pentagon, the state department, and the white house to be briefing he got ghassan what the u.s. response to this situation is. we'll have live coverage of that coming up. so stick around, you'll hear what the biden administration officials, top defense officials, state department officials, and white house officials are saying about this. and as i mentioned, the president and the vice president, they'd been meeting with top national security officials in the white house situation place your room, gearing up for a us response.

we don't know what that response will be, but we'll monitor what's going on. a very dangerous moment, anderson, right now, you and i have covered this region for a long time, and i got to tell you, having been there three times since october 7. now this potentially could explode we've already seen unprecedented successful attacks by israel against hezbollah. >> we both covered the war back in 2006, which we've seen a lot of rocket attacks over the years and even a ground operation during 2006 but the assassination of hassan nasrallah has really been for israel an extraordinary move and extraordinary see, change in the balance of power, the potential for hezbollah operations i want to bring in cnn political and global affairs animals barak ravid right now, baraka, what do you anticipate? >> because as you know and as i know and anderson knows, the israelis have always suggested that the greatest potential

threat to israel from all over the area would be an iranian nuclear strike against israel. iran has been working on nuclear bomb as we all know, and they're getting closer and closer how worried should the world be right now about that type of a reining in attack against israel? >> i will well, these really security cabinet is sitting right now in underground bunker in the mountains near jerusalem to discuss exactly that whether there could be another attack from iran. >> and what's going to be these very response to the attack. we just saw the iranians obviously still do not have a nuclear weapon israeli intelligence services think that it will take them at least in another between one to two years to build a nuclear device that you can put on a missile and launch. so in that sense

there's no such threat at the moment. but i think what we're going to see in the next few hours is a very, very severe response. from israel to this iranian attack that will not look in any way like the israeli response to the iranian attack in april that was just launching one missile at one anti antiaircraft battery in her base near isfahan. i think we're going to see a very, very serious i think you're absolutely right. >> and i asked the question about the nuclear potential, their barack, because as you well know, as i know, over the years, the israelis have always said that they would love an opportunity to preempt and destroy a runs potential nuclear capability. >> there have been many top israeli military three officials and others who have said that the israelis should do so before, before iran actually has a nuclear bomb. what are the prospects you think that even though iran is

not yet capable of launching a nuclear strike in israel, israel would use this moment to try to undermine irans nuclear capability we've know over the past few years, israel has attacked various iranian nuclear scientists, among others attack today gave all the justification to these really government to go ahead with what you just described. >> and for many years prime minister benjamin upon netanyahu was thinking about such a move and the conditions right now, i think are maybe more mature than any time before for an israeli attack against these against the iranian nuclear program especially the one of the problems netanyahu had over the years, was that the idf was very hesitant from taking such a step. the current idf

leadership is in a different place right now and it is, i think very much willing to consider such a move and to even recommend such a move to the israeli cabinet or barack, you have excellent israeli sources that excellent us sources. >> how serious is the tension? how serious is the disagreement over what's going on right now between the u.s. i. sent israel i honestly i don't think there's a disagreement i think that in the last few days or in the last two weeks since the pager attacks i think the u.s. >> and israel has been actually getting closer when it comes i'm stood there thinking about what's going on in the region the u.s. was definitely unhappy by the fact that the pager attacks and the walkie-talkie attacks and the nasrallah assassination all happened without prior notice and without consultation. but at

the same time i haven't heard even one senior us official who is involved in the decision-making, who does not think that those israeli attacks were at the end of the day, the right thing to do and even when it comes to the ground operation, israel started in southern lebanon yesterday i haven't heard from any significant us official who is in the decision-making any criticism about this ground operation? quite the contrary so i think that in many ways, in the last two weeks the israeli government and the white house, regardless of the fact that there are personal issues between biden but overall, i do not think that there are major tensions are crisis right now. i think actually the opposite interesting, let's see what happens. barak ravid, always important to hear your analysis. thank you very, very much, anderson. this is a tense

moment indeed, and who the hell knows what is about to happen. it's extraordinary. hear from barak ravid, who's obviously very well sources as are you about the potential for an escalation of this magnitude. i mean, if israel so believes that this is an opportunity now to do what many in certainly the israeli government had wanted to do is from netanyahu has wanted to do, which is strike and weaken the development of the nuclear program that would be an extraordinary ratcheting up. >> yeah, would be extraordinary. we see how iran would respond to that. we have much more ahead. we're waiting here from the white house about it's a dangerous escalation in the conflict will go to the white house for a live report. next, stay with us >> i've been saying publicly what people say and turns out i have enough money. i could just shut up back to you i can carve saturday at seven on cnn grandma, i played baseball

israel. but what's interesting, anderson and wolf, is that this comes after nearly a year of ambivalence and handwringing by the administration fears that there would be escalation that would lead to a wider war and their diplomatic efforts have really had the primary goal of trying to thwart that from happening. and in recent weeks, they've been bracing for that potential starting with the targeted strike that killed the political leader of hamas ismail haniyeh in late july. then followed by several other attacks that were carried out. the pager and walkie-talkie attack against several hezbollah leaders in lebanon. and then some of these raids in lebanon. and then the killing of the leader of hezbollah. obviously this is all reached a fever pitch at a time when the biden administration has been working feverishly behind the scenes to advance ceasefire proposals, both for war in gaza, as well as the escalating situation in lebanon. and those efforts have continued to remain elusive. so now as we await concurrent briefings from

the pentagon, the state department and the white house. there is still a very large question of how the administration can move forward with its diplomatic efforts at a time when it appears that it's its potency with the israeli government and the advice that it's been trying to get behind the scenes has fallen on deaf ears. >> anderson, wolf tausche at the white house. >> wolf. we know that the u.s. has prepositioned more assets in the region destroyer in the eastern mediterranean. carrier strike group in the arabian sea, as well as fighter jets guard clearly that the desire of the us, the intention, the objective of that major deployment of troops and equipment by the united states in the eastern mediterranean and elsewhere in the region is designed to help israel if necessary, but also designed to try to deter either iran or its proxies from using this moment to try to escalate this situation will see how that unfolds. it didn't do to tour the iranians from launching all those ballistic missiles towards israel over the past few hours. kayla tausche. thank

you very, very much. we're also hearing now that the israeli military has just announced that citizens in the tel aviv area can leave their shelters. nic robertson is joining us from haifa in northern israel right now. so nic give us a sense of what it's happening in haifa where you are hearing fast fighter jets overhead clearly engaged in operations in lebanon just to the north of us here. >> but i just want to draw us perhaps closer to the events of tonight. one one of the air bases in southern israel that was targeted by iran tonight, one of their stated targets, i was at that base over the weekend. i was at that airbase because i was invited to go on a combat mission that was targeting the houthis in yemen. i was on a refuel aircraft fueling f 35s. that carried out that targeted mission on the houthis in hudaydah. the reason

for that targeting was one of the reasons was to send a message to iran, not to get involved in the fight right now. so i find it significant that the iranians have targeted that base. they have tried to target it before for an i won't give away operational details of the nature of that base and everything that's at that base. but i can tell you it is an important and a very significant base for the israeli air force and i think when we consider as well what triggered iran to launch this attack, now we don't know, but it is less than 24 hours ago that israel changed its tactics against hezbollah and decided to go on a ground offensive into lebanon. one of the reasons i say this is because the impression that iran has created by not backing up hezbollah more forcefully until now, while their leadership has been decimated, there are command and control has been detonated. their military

arsenal has been decimated. is that iran has appear to stand on the sidelines and as hezbollah was, iran's major ally to attack israel, if israel tried to attack iran, the fact that they were being so decimated was beginning to open the same realization in iran as was being realized here, that this may have been becoming an opportunity tune moment to hit targets inside of iran. and i think when you try, when, when israeli officials try to figure out what their next move is, they are going to know as they turn to strike back iran, as they absolutely will. their threat from hezbollah is diminished. it's not where it was two weeks ago. hezbollah is credibly critically weakened and that may give israel stronger and better possibility as it, as it it forces and enforces its deterrence in this region by responding to iran a lot of

decisions to be made right now by israeli government officials. we have much more ahead our special coverage of the iranian attack on israel continues career at stake, owns coming out episodes says to the world, it's okay to be gay. i don't think i realized how much it meant till i saw the reaction tv he on the edge, moments that shaped our culture sunday at nine on cnn what will you do when the power goes out? >> power outages could be unpredictable and inconvenience but with a generale home standby generator, your life goes on uninterrupted because you have power when you need it the most. number one thing, prepare for us extended power andras don't make it so hard on yourself. >> have on gen. rack own stamp my generator, and special financing and low monthly payment options are available, call or go online now to request your free quote, tower, your life would generale climb

tel aviv, a major city along the mediterranean and this follows israel's incursion into southern lebanon strikes began about an hour and a half to two hours ago, the escalation of this crisis, which has been such a concern for the white house. >> we're expecting a briefing in moments. this obviously the scene was earlier this night, as i said, about an hour, half or two hours ago skies over tel aviv. want to go now to our ben wedeman, who is standing by in beirut ben explain what you heard in from your vantage point in beirut as these strikes, we're going on in israel? >> what we saw anderson was fireworks over the southern suburbs of beirut in area where hezbollah has many supporters. we also heard celebratory gunfire. and i'm watching as i'm speaking to you hizballah's tv station, al manar is running loops of

incoming missiles hitting israel. so clearly there is among those supporters of his butler, there is a certain amount of satisfaction seeing this happen. keeping in mind that two weeks ago with the pagers, tags the walkie-talkie attacks. and since then, over the last eight days, punishing israeli airstrikes. and of course that's friday, the assassination of hassan nasrallah, the leader of hezbollah certainly hezbollah has taken just one body blow after another. so clearly there are certain elements within lebanese society that are taking satisfaction what is going on at the moment, not necessarily the broader population in lebanon, many of whom have just been sitting watching television with a certain amount of dread. oh, certainly over the last 24 hours as we've seen israel started a limited ground operations so far into the south, but certainly this

additional development of these extensive iranian missile strikes on israel certainly raises them the level of concern to heights we haven't seen yet anderson let me pick it up. >> its will for a as you know, and all of our most of our viewers should know by now, hezbollah, the hezbollah forces in south lebanon have accumulated thousands of rockets and drones and missiles, potentially there could be aimed towards israel. i haven't seen a huge, i mean, they've been doing it a lot. they started october 8, the day after october 7, they began his balah launching some of these rockets and missiles towards israel. but given their capabilities and the assumption by us intelligence, israeli intelligence was that hezbollah always have major threat, potential threat to israel. why haven't the hezbollah forces in south lebanon launched more of these projectiles towards israel

wolf, that there's projectiles launched from southern israel tend to be short range, put focused on israeli military positions along the border. >> they have longer-range missiles that we do not believe they keep in that area where as we've seen, there's a high probability of an israeli ground incursion. those are kept further north away from the israelis. why haven't they use them? so far? that's a question many people here are asking it probably has something to do with the fact that what we've seen go going back to july 30 is the gradual and increasingly rapid elimination of many of the senior commanders of hezbollah and of course, hassan nasrallah last friday now, yesterday, we did hear from one of the senior deputy of nasrallah naim qassim who said on a television broadcast that the despite

these blows, hezbollah has not collapsed, that they still are able to function. now the question is, is the fact that they haven't fired some of their longer, heavier weaponry. is it because of the elimination of the military command or is it because they're holding it? in reserve in the event there is a full on invasion of southern lebanon. and certainly we are getting indications from, for instance, warnings for on twitter from the arabic spokesman for the israeli military about peak telling people essentially to go tens of kilometers north away from southern lebanon. the indications are, they may well be a full-on israeli invasion of the south in which case is there's a much higher probability that hezbollah which already feels crippled and cornered may unleash its heaviest weapons yet, wolf and some of those heaviest weapons

potentially could reach not only haifa in northern israel, but even tel aviv and perhaps even further south in israel, when the israelis have all, we've been very, very worried about that possibility. ben, stay safe over there in beirut. anderson, this is a dramatic moment. we're watching right now, a historic moment and a very dangerous moment is, and we're waiting to hear from the white house as well as depending on the state department, stay with us for that white house briefing, we've learned the national security advisor jake sullivan, will be joining the briefing, the white house, responding to the iranian strikes on israel. we expect that at any moment and take a quick break wait, is over. tim walz and j.d. vance in their first and only face-to-face debate and cnn has covered with the best political team in them it's a cnn special event the vice presidential debate tonight at nine on cnn what the effects of viagra but faster meet roe sparks they contain so dana, phil, and today el fil, with

we've heard recently from us officials. >> beginning with we stand by israel. he might even provide some specifics about us participation in the response to this attack. i was told prior to the attack that the u.s. would help defend it israel from an iranian attack and shoot down missiles as well. if need be, we might expect an update on that but in addition to that, i'm certain we'll hear from him exhortations to all involved to attempt to not further escalate the situation. now, listen, it you have the israeli cabinet meeting quite soon as i understand it there cabinet meeting was delayed, but meeting quite soon where they will certainly be discussed to be discussing options on how they respond to this whatever words of caution that the u.s. might communicate to them, either from that podium or in the phone? i'm calls i'm sure. going back and forth between washington and tel aviv it's hard to see where those words

of caution might work any more than the words of caution delivered prior, for instance, to israeli boots going on the ground in lebanon just last night or prior to the attacks that killed nasrallah, or the pager attacks. so it's it's difficult to see how this plays out going forward because the last thing the u.s. wants is a broader regional war specifically, it does not want open war between israel and iran and also it does not want to get dragged into such a war so it's, it'll be interesting to see how jake sullivan combines those messages from the white house podium yeah, jim, the military escalation of this conflict has been a concern by the white house, which is tried to counsel patients for israel, obviously, in this fight we're waiting that press conference from the white house. >> i want to bring in former nato supreme allied commander general wesley clark, general, as we're waiting for this press conference. first of all, what's your reaction? these

strikes barak ravid was on the program earlier talking with wolf blitzer talking about the israeli cabinet meeting, discussing the potential options for israel to strike at, at iran. what would those be? what would that look like? >> first of all, international, i'm really surprised that iran did this. the united states warned him not to do it the iranian government is very weak. it has a nuclear program. it's been fearful that the israelis would strike and take that nuclear program out or said it way back and they had every inch shouldn't not to strike. so they did strike. israel now is faced with a quandary. do you accept this as sort of a fait accompli and stop or do you go back and let's listen to anthony blinken, secretary state of trouble and the entire world should condemn it initial reports suggest that israel with the act of support of the

united states and other partners, effectively defeated this attack once again, our commitment to israel's defense will remain in very close touch with israel and other partners in the region in the hours and days ahead on a happier note. let me say what to put a pleasure it is to welcome my friend. here. i think we've seen just in recent weeks once again, the incredible vibrancy strength behind the partnership that joins the united states and india. we had prime minister modi here. and actually in wilmington, delaware, for the quad meeting as well as a bilateral meeting with president biden, secretary of state, anthony blinken in a meeting with the leader of india. the problem i minister general clark, i want to go back to you as we await the white house briefing. as i may have to interrupt and i apologize again, but you were talking about the potential for israel striking back at iran of

rock ravid had raised the idea of striking back at nuclear facilities in iran, which would obviously be a very dramatic move. >> you could take the ucr take out the nuclear facilities are, or what you could reach some of them are in the far south east side of iran, hidden and as far from israel as possible. but israel can reach most of iran, i think, and or you could strike at the oil export terminals in iran and try to cut off their flow of oil or exports and cut off their flow of any foreign currency that they're getting. so those are two options, or you could stand by and you can count on the united states and its policy of what's don't escalate and hope that this is the end david but my guess is the political pressures inside israel are going to demand a response even though as anthony blinken just said the attack was defeated,

it was blunted, but it was still an attack. and if something's not done, it'll come back again stronger at a later time, perhaps with something nuclear weapons, if, if something's not done. so my guess is, israel has to respond i just want to interrupt for a moment general, we heard tony blinken, the secretary of state, say that israel, as you correctly pointed out, a defeated the attack with the active support of the united states and others for partners, how significant is that the secretary of state is saying that the u.s and other partners helped israel in defeating this iranian ballistic missile attack i think, it's significant in that we have asked judge and other countries in the region that we have patriot batteries and these other countries that could have gone after these missiles when they passed overhead and we always want to work with our allies. so i think that's significant, that surgery blinken is given credit without

naming him to our other partners in the region. i think that's important i think we're going to go to the white house briefing. >> karine jean-pierre is introducing jake sullivan, the president's national security advisor and everyone. >> i'm here to provide a brief report on the iranian ballistic missile attack against israel that occurred earlier today. i can take just a few questions because this is an ongoing situation and i need to get back to my desk today. iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles towards targets in israel you know, the united states military coordinated closely with the israeli defense forces to help defend israel against this attack us naval destroyers joined israeli the air defense units in firing interceptors to shoot down inbound missiles. president biden and vice president harris monitor the attack and the response from the white house situation room, joined in-person and remotely by their national security team we are still working with the idf and the authorities in israel to assess the impact of the

attack. but at this time, and i stress at this time we do not know of any deaths in israel. we are tracking the reported death of a palestinian civilian in jericho in the west bank we do not know of any damage which two aircraft or strategic military assets in israel. in short, based on what we know at this point this attack appears to have been defeated effective. this was first and foremost the result of the professionalism of the idf. but in no small part because of the skilled work of the u.s. military and meticulous joint planning in anticipation of the attack were also aware of reports of a terrorist attack in jaffa that took the lives of a number of israeli civilians and wounded several others today our condolences go out to the families of the victims and to the family of the palestinian civilian in jericho obviously, my update here is based don early reports and we reserve the right to amend an

adjust as necessary as we gather more information. the word fog of war was invented for a situation like this this is a fluid situation we will consult with the israelis on next steps in terms of the response and how to deal with what iran has just done. and we will continue to monitor for further threats and attacks from iran and its proxies were particularly focused on protecting us service members in the region and with that, i'll take just a few your questions. yeah. >> thanks. jake, is the administration making any preparations to evacuate us citizens from lebanon or elsewhere in the region we have been very clear for some time i am now that us citizens should avail themselves of commercial means to depart lebanon given everything that's going on, we have said that from this podium for multiple podiums, we continue and you to say that. >> but we have not begun triggering a noncombatant emergency evacuation a neo and do not have an intention to do so? so at this time, if that changes, we'll let you know,

but we continue to reinforce the point american citizens in lebanon should follow the guidance from the state department, which is to find severe civilian commercial means to depart because in extremis, we may not be able to get them out safely yes. >> thanks, jake, what is the u.s. >> view on whether israel retaliate and what is your concern about this leading to a wider escalation of war and the region. >> we've had some initial discussions with the israelis in the aftermath of this at the military level. and also at the white house to prime minister's office this level will continue those conversations in the hours ahead. i'm not going to prejudge or get ahead of anything we want to have some deep consultations with the israelis and i'll have more to report to you after we get the opportunity for deeper discussions in the region. obviously, this is a significant escalation by iran, a significant event, and it is equally significant that we were able to step up with with israel and create a situation in which no one was killed in

the city attack in israel so far as we know at this time, we are now going to look at what the appropriate next steps are to secure. first and foremost, american interests and then to promote stability to the maximum extent possible as we go forward. >> back in april, the president's message to israel was to take the win when the u.s. and israel were able to intercept the barrage of missiles. >> is he recommending? similarly limit to response this time, i will not from this podium share the president's recommendations. >> he will have the opportunity to share them directly. we're going to have as i said, ongoing consultations with the israelis this afternoon and this evening it is too early for me to tell you anything publicly in terms of our assessment or in terms of what barr expectations are of the israelis or the advice that we've and give us, will he be speaking to the prime minister? i don't have anything to announce from this podium, but i can tell you that he is tracking this minute by minute we are very much deeply in touch with the israelis and insofar as we have calls to read out one make sure to read them out with you. just last

question then i'll turn it over. >> thank you, jake, and april after iran struck israel, the the u.s. issue a number of sanctions as a consequence. this morning, the president said there'll be severe consequences if he iran carried out this attack. what are those consequences? and are they? for severe than sanctions totally legitimate question. >> and that answer will come based on the conversations and consultations we have with our israeli counterparts. it's too soon for me to stand before you today and give you an answer. what i can tell you is this we are proud of the actions that we've taken alongside israel to protect and defend israel. we have made clear that there will be consequences, severe consequences for this attack, and we will work with israel to make that the case. thank you very much. >> thank you, jake thank you, jake. >> okay onto the rest of our were gonna get the monitor this briefing, karine jean-pierre white house press secretary. >> now, briefing will listen to that. anderson, but i thought it was very significant with jake sullivan, the president's

national security advisor, said that the attack was defeated. and ineffective. the iranian attack with all these ballistic missiles launched towards tel aviv. and elsewhere in israel was defeated and it effective. >> it's also to point out though he called it a significant escalation on the part of iran. if you compare it to the attack in april not only in april, there were i think like 185 drones use which are much slower moving, easier to knock down this was blistering missiles. i think that's one of the reasons for as far as we know, this was exclusively ballistic missiles as many, nearly 200 according jake sullivan, that is why they're saying it is significantly it's a significant escalation in this attack and obviously israel now trying to figure out how they are going to respond and he said that there's extensive consultations are underway right now between washington and jerusalem, the patrouille, the u.s. >> and israel with the prime minister's office, the defense

ministry, the israeli foreign office. and it's too soon to say what the consequences will be, what the u.s. yes. will do other than the fact that the u.s. will support israel last time, again, in response to the april attack, israel did count strike again against iran, but it was largely viewed as a sort of symbolic response. >> the question is this time, isn't going to be different? is it going to be a much more significant response by israel israel toward the u.s. is calling a significant escalation by iran going to take a short break. our coverage continues in just a moment pizza everyday. >> unlimited topics, but does the budget even exist for that, ethan, why are we not talking about the fact that my opponent has coatings severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture with scott i really feel significant

symptom relief at for weeks, many people were in remission at 12 weeks, one year, and even at two years serious allergic reactions and an increased risk give infections or lower ability to fight them may occur. >> tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms pot of vaccine or plan to liver problems may occur in crohn's disease or uc ask your gastroenterologist about sky reserves when a tough call fine, you want to go serve would be silly trying to rob it that the sa-20s back with the power of robitussin and everybody. >> easy to take off relief anywhere. schwann relief, chew ana, no, but it doesn't shallow cancer is it's hard. but st. jude has gotten us through it singer has hope for every child diagnosed with cancer because the research is being shared all over the world i had 20 years of experience as an hr professional, and i hit
