breaking news hello, and welcome to all of our viewers watching here in the united states and all around the world. >> i'm alex marquardt. thank you so much for joining me. we have lots of news to get to israel has just carried out a major long-awaited series of airstrikes against iran skies over tehran and elsewhere around the country looked and sounded like over the past few hours, you can see and hear there what appeared to be anti aircraft fire now, israel's military has announced that the strikes against iran are over two sources telling my colleague, jeremy diamond and myself that there were three waves of strikes in retaliation for iran's missile barrage against israel back on october 1st with around 100, ballistic missiles tonight, there is no word yet on possible damage or

casualties in iran, but israel says it did strike military targets, including missile manufacturing facilities and surface to air missile arrays that would include air defense systems now, the biden administration asked israeli officials to avoid strikes against iran's nuclear and oil facilities for fear of escalating the conflict and affecting the global economy. just moments ago, a senior us administration official said, quote, this should be the end of this direct exchange of fire between israel and ron. israel has made clear to the world that its response is now complete. it was extensive. it was targeted, it was precise, it was against military targets across iran israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister yoav golan, they monitored the strikes from a command post along with other top israeli officials israeli military says that the strikes are in response to months of months of attacks by iran as well as

regional proxies that are backed by iran i can now confirm that we have concluded the israeli response to iran's attack against israel we conducted. >> targeted and precise strikes on military targets in iran, thwarting immediate threats to the state of israel they israel defense forces has fulfilled its mission. eve, the regime in iran were to make the mistake of beginning a new round of escalation we will be obligated to respond for more. >> i want to bring in cnn senior white house correspondent kayla tausche. kayla, thank you so much. much for joining me. the white house, of course, was watching this very closely tonight and they were keen to make clear that they did not have a role in these israeli strikes. what more have you learned? >> well, we know alex that president biden was closely following these developments from wilmington where he was briefed regularly by his national security advisor, jake sullivan, who is back at the

white house. but in the aftermath of these strikes us officials are describing them as the type of proportional response that president biden and his top aides have been urging the israelis to carry out in these recent one weeks specifically to limit civilian casualties and to be targeted and precise, us officials this evening describing that wave of strikes as carefully prepared, limiting civilian casualties and designed to be effective with the effect being the degradation of iran's capabilities of carrying out a future ballistic missile attack and deterrence against any future action. senior administration officials with a warning for iran not to respond suggesting very forcefully that this should be the end of the direct fire exchanged between israel and iran but also saying this, saying if iran chooses to respond, once again, we will be ready and there will be consequences for iran once again, we do not want to see

this happen. this should be the end of the direct exchange of fire. the senior administration official suggesting that there have been multiple channels of communication through which iran has been made very aware of the u.s.'s position and its belief that israel has a right to defend itself especially when iran launches a barrage of ballistic missiles toward densely populated areas, including areas where tens of thousands of americans lives. so certainly it seems that this is an endorsement of sorts from the biden administration on and how this attack was carried out after weeks of deliberations. but of course it remains to be seen. alex exactly what the damage that was done during these strikes was and whether and if iran decides to heed the u.s.'s warning or respond on its own, alex? >> yeah, it does appear that this was carried out as the white house had hoped. and expected. i imagine some over their breathing a sigh of relief tonight. kayla tausche live with me here in washington. thank you very much

for all your reporting. i want to bring in cnn's ivan watson, who joins us live now from hong kong with more so ivan. this retaliation, these strikes, they were really three weeks in the making since that iranian barrage back on october the first. the day has just started in iran, the sun has just come up. what do you think we can expect to find? now that this israeli attack is over right? >> that, that is going to be the big question here. we do know from social media videos that emerged from tehran that the skies were lit up with what very much looks like iranian aerial defenses, tracer fire, blasting into the sky the israeli military has announced that its planes, all of them that conducted these airstrikes have landed safely back in israel. so it does not appear that any of them according to the israeli military, were shot down the iranian state media has indicated that there were

three provinces where it says its military centers were targeted by this wave of israeli airstrikes. they were tehran province, that's of course where the iranian capital there's khousa stan and elam provinces which are kind of in the south and southwest along the persian gulf, along the gulf, and the border with iran. now a big question, of course, is going to be what could the extent of the damage be? i think i can somewhat safely predict that the iranians are not going to reveal if military targets were in fact hit by the israeli airstrikes. the extent of the damage there, just as the israeli military did not show the extent of some of the damage of irans missile launches on israel back on october 1, which had targeted some military installations in israel. that's going to be a national security factor. here are the iranians will not want to illustrate that if there

were civilian casualties of any types, if there were any kind of civilian infrastructure damaged, then we might likely in the coming hours, the iranians revealing some of that. it's incredible to see the messaging here that has gone with this wave of israeli bombing attacks after weeks of lobbing from the biden administration not to target iranian energy infrastructure, nor any of its nuclear facilities that there's, there's clearly an effort to try to constrain this within a kind of military to military style confrontation. so immense signaling while an active of real violent war has just been carried out. and now the ball all will be in iran's court, will seek a need to retaliate and continue a for tat response we're hearing from the biden administration that it doesn't believe that there needs to be another step forward, and it

will also be important to see that was the kind of damage its neighboring country of lebanon, where apartment buildings have been dropped, where hospitals have been hit by the israeli or close to by israeli airstrikes it'll be very important to see whether israel has been more careful with its targeting, then in attacks closer to israel that have done so much damage and killed so many civilians in gaza and lebanon yeah, that's an excellent point. >> i suspect you're right that the iranians themselves will not be keen to put out some of those images of the devastation patient, but i have a hunch that the israelis might want to as kind of a message, ivan watson. thank you very much. let's get more perspective now from cedric leighton. he's a cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric. thank you so much for joining me. israel made clear

tonight that they were only going after the military targets. we now know from the idf that the targets were primarily ballistic missile facilities, as well as surface to air missile arrays, which i take to mean air defense. so what do you make of the targets that israel is claiming they struck tonight? >> yeah, alex, good absolutely right. the missile arrays that they're talking about, the surface to air missile erase our precisely the air defense systems that iran has deployed. and it'll be interesting to see if among those air defense systems that the israelis targeted was the s 300 system 300 days, a russian main system that it took a long time for the iranians to actually get. they were supposed to get it back as far back as 2006 or 2008 the russians then delayed sending it to them. and then finally in 2010, 2011, the russians decided to give the radians,

the s 300 systems. so that is a system that has a lot of abilities that could have prevented the israelis from striking certain targets. but if their system was damaged in any way that would lend expose the iranians to a degree of vulnerability that they would probably but one, reveal to the rest of the world. but what we're seeing is exactly this strike them missile defense systems as strike the building capabilities, the manufacturing capabilities, and the radar systems that the iranians have. and it seems as if the israelis have basically confined themselves to those kinds of targets as you out blind and that then makes a big difference in terms of not only what they hit, but also the potential for escalation. it seems to be designed to us than the potential for escalation and that of course is a significant factor at the moment. >> so do you think that means that the message from israel

tonight to iran is we can get through your air defenses. we can take them out and we can do a lot more if we want to yes, absolutely. if in fact they did damage sophisticated portions of the iranian air defense network then that is a very clear message to the iranians that not only can israel get through the defenses in the radar systems that are associated with that? but they can use almost instead will. and that is a significant problem for the iranians end of course, is significant message for them to see are you surprised at all at how narrow this target set appears to have been that it wasn't broader even within the military spectrum, that it didn't go that they didn't hit barracks for for example, or drone facilities or appear to really have killed anyone. >> of course, we don't know that for certain, but it does not appear for now that there are huge number of casualties

yeah, if that turns out to be the case, that is actually a major development on the positive side of the ledger. and there are some reports that indicate they may have had some drone facilities, especially manufacturing facilities. i don't know how accurate those reports are still remains to be seen, whether or not that's it's the kate, if that is the case, that could also have implications for the war in ukraine because of course, as we all know, the iranians are supporting the shot-head drones to the russians for them to use against ukraine so there were a lot of implications here, but in this particular case, i am actually quite happy that the israeli israelis have done it in this way. and it seems being attempted least to de-escalate the situation to to some extent in cases like this, it is often a question of proportionality. is the israeli response proportional to what the iranian attack had been? let's remind our viewers that the iranian strike in october 1 was

the u.s has argued and israel has argued unprecedented tehran firing some 180 ballistic missiles at tel aviv at a population center, including some military and intelligence targets. know israelis were hurt or killed. so when you see what happened it's tonight in iran was that proportionate well, it might actually be less than proportionate, which is kind of interesting giving, given the history of both countries and their proclivity to be proportionate or exceed the attacks from the other side. >> so in this particular case appears at the moment that the israelis may have actually conducted an attack that was lesser magnitude than what the iranians did but it could have had more of a significant impact. when the one hand is the lesser magnitude because of does not have had the same volume of missiles that were

launched against compared to the iranian strike on, israel but on the other hand, it may have been more effective because it was more targeted. and that's really speaks quite a bit to the kind of methodology that the u.s. would employ in similar situations. so that might be something that the israeli please have taken on board in this particular case and use that to their advantage colonel cedric leighton, always appreciate your thoughts in a situation like this. >> thanks so much for joining me. >> you bet alex, anytime israel strike on, iran comes after weeks of deliberations, excuse me, including at times really especially with the biden administration, there was a lot of coordination there despite the fact that the u.s. did not have a role in the strikes tonight, our ongoing coverage of these israeli strikes on iran continues right after a quick break and then less than two weeks to go before election day. why kamala harris held a

rally in a state that's pretty much certain to vote ford, the republican candidate on november 5, fifth, stay with us political analysis. we have all kinds the questions about to feel so stupid pressing questions. >> what did biden do? that said the right call stayed awake, hard hitting questions. >> why did front pull out of 60 minutes? >> i love pulling out right, right. >> questions. >> what are the predictions for next week's top stories? baby oil files for bankruptcy, news network. if i got news for you tomorrow at nine on cnn and streaming next day on max. >> the virus that causes shingles is sleeping. it 99% of people over 50. it's lying dormant, waiting and could reactivate shingles strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks. and it could wake at any time think

you were not at risk for shingles? it's time to wake up because shingles could wake up and you if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention. >> if you have chronic kidney disease, you can reduce the risk of kidney failure with parsi because they are places you'd like to be for singular can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal dehydration, urinary tract, or genital yeast infections and low blood sugar. a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur, stopped taking for sica and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of disinfection and allergic reaction, or ketoacidosis >> i voted for trump twice, but i can't do it again. trump wants a national sales tax on imported goods. >> it'll make everything more expensive for regular people all while giving tax breaks to billionaires we're going to give you tax. kamala harris is for regular people. she wants

to tax cut for 100 million americans. so we keep more of our hard-earned money. i'm a proud republican, but this year on voting for kamala harris pac is responsible for the content of this add find the home with the short commute to work find the one in a great school district and find it exclusively in professionally source listings let's go boys. the way that i approach work, post fatherhood, has really been trying to understand the generation

stress may lead to heart disease and stroke. so today i decided to put my phone down and simply breathe. i'm focusing on what i can control like turning little moments into me time to help my mind, heart, and body. i'm reclaiming my time. >> deep breaths for just one minute a walk with my dog calling a friend. this is my time and my health fund moment by moment. i'm this cnn we are following breaking news out of the middle east as israel has just carried out retaliatory strikes against iran systems, gunfire and explosions ringing out in the skies above the capital and in western tehran. over the past few hours israel's military saying it conducted quote, precise strikes on military targets in iran, which it says had been

quote, relentlessly attacking israel since october 7 of last year. in particular, iran launched a barrage of missiles at israel at the beginning of this month on october 1, over the killing of hezbollah's leader in lebanon among others, israeli official say that today's response was the culmination of weeks of deliberations, including rounds of consultations with us officials here in washington. the office of prime minister netanyahu says that the security cabinet in israel voted unanimously to approve the strikes against iran. i want to bring in andrew taylor, who is a senior fellow in the air politics program at the washington institute for near east policy. he is here in washington, andrew, thank you so much for joining me on this really important day. first off, i want to get your impression of what we saw tonight. >> i think the israeli strikes were quite precise. they were very limited in the sense of the targeting but i think quite

devastating and we're going to know much more about that in the morning as there are further assessments, but not something that's spread to energy infrastructure or nuclear facilities and and this is the more limited strike. i think that the biden administration in particular, but not only was hoping for to not escalate out of control and cause a wider regional war what are you going to be looking for in the coming hours i think there's a couple of things to watch the rhetoric coming out of teheran and particularly from the supreme leader and their surrogates will be very indicative but we have seen this before, even if they come out and say, well there's going to be a direct response it doesn't mean that it's actually going to be coming before the us election on november 5. >> so have to wait and see and the aerial photography tomorrow. it should tell us a lot more as well. >> i am struck by the

confidence of the biden administration. there was a call with a senior administration official and reporters after the idf announced that their operations tonight was over. and this official said that they believe that this quote, direct exchange between israel and ron is now over. what do you make of that confidence i think that it's hard for any administration to be completely confident that their adversaries and allies are going to react the way they are. >> but the united states has, of course, a direct contact twist with israel and of course they're having a really hard time dealing with the iranians, but there are, there is back channeling. so i think there's a way to understand that and understand what each side's intentions may be yeah that same us officials saying that they have both direct and indirect communications with the iranians. so i imagine there certainly communicating

now that they really, really hope that her khan doesn't respond but as you noted, andrew, what we saw tonight does appear to be limited and calibrated the way that the vitamins ration had wanted, the way that they had been communicating the past few weeks, at least in terms of this narrow set of targets, to what extent do you think the u.s held israel back? >> i think that the the u.s us completely explained to the israelis the situation that not only was this response happening in a regional context, which has been worsening since october 7, 2023. but that it's right before the u.s. general election i think there it becomes a bit tricky whether the netanyahu government prefers to have a continuation of the biden administration under kamala harris or do they prefer donald trump, who would certainly i

think constraint israel less militarily but it's really hard to say. i think that for the moment this response was proportionate and it allows for an escalation. but one that's more measured and one that's more manageable, not just before november 5, but before the it change it administration in mid january no doubt the israelis like so many, have their eyes on the calendar. >> we knew that they wanted to respond before the election, but gaming that out a little bit if trump were to win do you think that israel could feel ben holden's to do more in the near future i think so. >> i think that it's it's kind of hard to say, but i think there's a couple of things rhetorically, of course, trump is quite in favor of israel getting it over with or finishing the matter. and i think you can read that two ways. one is support for

military action by israel in the net i hope government. the other one is to get it over with before in the event he would win the election get it over before his administration starts, and it would make it easier and less risky, particularly as concerns protect potential strikes on energy infrastructure, which i think would worry any president of the united states or any leader in the world. oil and the price of oil underpins the entire world economy still and that is not going to go away anytime soon. major damage to infrastructure could, could harm that and change things very quickly. >> still, so much to unfold in the coming days. andrew taylor here in washington with me. thank you so much for joining us. really appreciate it. >> my pleasure in ten days time voters here in the united states will be heading to the polls to choose the next us president. >> more than 34 million ballots have already been cast. a huge number with earth early voting underway and most of the 50

states, the final cnn nationwide poll before election day was just put out and it shows the race is on a razor's edge with 47% of likely voters supporting kamala harris and an equal 47% supporting the former president donald trump. the two candidates held dueling rallies in texas on friday and they're expected to do the same in michigan. another key battleground state tomorrow on saturday music superstar beyonce headlined a campaign rally for kamala harris in texas on friday, the music icon came out onto the stage with her former destinies child bandmate kelly rowland. you can see them right there. beyonce. i'm sure sadly for so many there did not perform at the houston rally, which did focus at least in part on getting voters galvanize to turn out in support of reproductive rights. that was really the overarching theme. of that rally in houston, but beyonce, who is a houston native herself, she

told the crowd that the country is on the brink of history saying that it's time to quote, sing a chorus of unity, take a listen i'm not here as a politician i'm here as a mother children and all of to control i bodies beyonce then introduce harris to the crowd, urging them to give a big loud texas welcome to the next president of the united states harris told the gathering that texas is ground zero in the fight for reproductive freedom. >> and stress the importance of getting out the vote reproductive freedom is on the ballot in this presidential election. >> and what the work of everyone here, freedom will win

between two states showing up three hours late to a rally in the battleground state of michigan, because he gave what he called the longest interview of his life to well-known podcaster, joe rogan. >> he told a crowd in michigan, he figured they wouldn't mind because he's trying to win wen actually, many people left that rally because he was so late at an earlier appearance in austin, texas, trump focused on immigration, repeating a line that he debuted at a rally on thursday we'd like a garbage can. we're like a garbage cans. first time i said it was last night, gave it speech in las vegas, 29,000 people with an arena. we set the arena record that was a big deal arena to we set the record, but it was an amazing crowd. first time i ever said i said it, i don't i just came out to garbage can. would like a

garbage can for the rest of the world to dump the people that they don't want with us now is jessica levinson, a professor of law at loyola law school, and the host of the podcast passing judgment. she is in los angeles. jessica, thank you so much for joining us. there were a lot of questions in the past few weeks about when harris would pull out the stops, when this celebrity he's would join the campaign when we would see the obamas on the campaign. and that seems to really be picking up in these last few days, probably by design because they're trying to get people out of their homes and to the polling stations. so to what extent do you think? having a rally in houston with beyonce about a really key issue for democrats reproductive rights can move the needle in these final ten days i mean, they're hoping just a little bit. let's be clear that i don't think that texas is a swing state. all people agree that are really looking at this closely, that trump will win texas. this is really about getting people energized. in

other states in those swing states. and the harris campaign like the trump campaign, is looking it's very carefully at not just the swing state, but those voters who are still gettable and what they're seeing is that for some of these voters, celebrity endorsements visits from the former president, president obama, that they matter. so they're hoping that every little bit counts what we know is that all seven swing states, the candidates are within the margin of error. typically the margin of error is about 3.4%. now, it's at 2% for all of these states. so one beyonce appearance, if that gets some people to the polls at this point anything could be outcome determinative so what is the strategy behind not just harris but trump as well going to a state like texas today, as you point out, it's a red state, it's almost a certainty that trump is going to win. >> there is it? because each candidate wanted to pick up those? celebrity appearances,

joe rogan and beyonce and at the end of the day, we're in a national media environment >> i mean, i think that's exactly right that we are in a national media environment and we know that the candidates are campaigning any somewhat different way with the acknowledgment, again, that candidates that excuse to me that the viewers in all of those seven states that they are watching the same national programs that viewers in the other states are. but i don't think we're going to see a lot more of this to be clear, i think we're going to see a lot of pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin, and nevada and arizona in the final days for former what president trump, he's always run a more unconventional campaign. we could see him in those safer states a little bit more. he wants to make sure that he gets his base out. but let's be clear, if he wins texas by 50.01% or 90%, it doesn't matter. he gets all of texas is electoral college votes. so i don't think we're going going

to see a lot more appearances in the safe states there's been a lot of discussion around joe rogan who has one of the if not the most popular podcast in the country at one moment it appeared that harris might be doing it, but now it doesn't seem that way. >> and here we have trump who sat down with rogan for three hours on friday for this podcast at what do you think he gains out of that? and what might harris lose by not doing it so let's start with the second part, which is, i think the internal polling from the harris camp, is that the way to reach those voters who are still reachable is through the less traditional channels. >> and one of them is a podcast where it's not the television advertisements that might blast throughout swing states, but it's more of the streaming, it's more of podcasts. it's more social media. and so i think for her what she loses is potentially a few people who weren't otherwise turning into

news programs regularly, who wouldn't be moved by a typical political ad for the former president. >> it's about getting to his base. it's about making sure that base comes out. and we know that he is absolutely playing on the gender divide and he wants to get men to the polls that would make a difference for him. >> yeah, it's all about getting to those undecided, movable voters as few as they are, because it really is neck and neck professor jessica levinson. thank you so much for joining me. >> thank you and a major break from recent tradition, the washington post is now saying it will not endorse a candidate in this year's us presidential election or in any election in the future for that matter, it's publisher says that the decision is consistent with its values and in return to the post's routes. >> it has made an endorsement in every election since the 1980s. the post is now owned by

jeff bezos. the newspaper said that its owner, the amazon founder, made the decision robert kagan, who was an editor at large at the newspaper, says that he resigned over this decision. he said that jeff bezos was trying to curry favor with donald trump in the anticipation of the former president's possible victory in the selection now, earlier this week, the owner of the los angeles times also spiked the papers planned endorsement of kamala harris several editorial board members members then quit in protest legendary washington post journalist bob woodward and carl bernstein. they very quickly slammed their home. there previous newspaper for not endorsing a candidate. they issued a joint statement on friday calling the decision surprising and disappointing, adding quote we respect the traditional independence of the editorial page but the decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores

the washington post's own overwhelming report, turiel evidence on the threat that donald trump poses to democracy there is breaking news happening right now, israel says it has just completed a series of airstrikes on iran. we will have an update that's next stay with us publicly, more people are saying turns out i have enough money i'm just, shut, up at nine on my moderate to severe crohn's symptoms kept me out of the picture with sky resy feel significant symptom relief at four weeks. >> many people were in michigan at 12 weeks, one year, and even at two years, serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or simply and how vaccine or plan to liver problems may occur in crohn's disease or uc, as you're gastroenterologist

sound of gunfire, explosions in the distance that is just some of what the scene in tehran and elsewhere in iran looked and

sounded like over the course of the evening into the early morning local time in iran, you could see and hear what appeared to be that anti aircraft fire. the israeli strikes. >> they say are retaliation, not just for the giant missile barrage carried out by iran a few weeks ago on october 1 but for all of her ron's activities against israel over the course of the past year. >> now now in the past few hours, there were three strikes carried out by israel over about four hours the israeli military is saying now that the operation is over earlier, israel said it struck specifically military targets our message is clear oh, those threaten the state of israel and seek to drag the region into wider escalation will pay a heavy price we demonstrated today that we have boasts the capability and the resolve to

act decisively and we are prepared on offense and defense to defend the state of israel and the people of israel let's now bring in trita parsi, the executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible statecraft and author of the book losing an enemy. he joins me now, live from washington trita. thank you so much for joining me at this late hour. do you think that iran tonight was expecting a bigger israeli strike? what did you make of it it's difficult to tell because at the end of the day, we do not know the extent of the damage israel has inflicted just as much as the israelis did not reveal the damage that event on inflicted on israel back in earlier in october, the iranians are likely not going to reveal the full picture here either but given the messaging that they have been sending out in which they really downplaying the attack, almost

mocking it. >> at a minimum, it reveals their desire to the escalates, regardless of whether the damage was extensive or not. but if it was very extensive and in the next couple of days we find out that there's been casualties, perhaps senior officials et cetera. docx can change the picture and put them in a position in which they feel forced to respond to this israeli attack so given what we know now when you're absolutely right, that we're going to learn so much more coming hours and days. >> do you believe that there is a good possibility that this is the kind of strike that. iran could absorb. and that this for tat, that at least for now might be over i think the iranians are sending the signal that that's what they want it to be. now, whether they can sustain that or not remains to be seen depending on how big the damage has been again, the question is very much as to whether there were any casualties or not because that's going to be much more difficult for them to try to keep secret. >> but even if that happens, and i think this is very

important for us to understand even if the iranians show restraint and this exchange of fire is now close, this chapter is closed. >> it does not mean that the conflict actually isn't alive. its still is very much alive. we're still on an escalatory trajectory and they will continue to be that way unless the slaughter in gaza and in lebanon ends if it doesn't, we are likely going to see another round of fire between iran and israel in a couple of weeks, perhaps in a couple of months. and unfortunately that one is likely to be more fierce in this last exchange has been just as much as this exchange was much worse than what we saw back in april we know that the u.s. >> worked in coordination with the israelis to essentially shaped tonight's strike the white house has been clear that they did not have a direct role though they were, of course, very aware of what was going on to what extent do you think the u.s. pressure diminished or

limited what israel might have previously been planning against iran the u.s. actually had a role in the attack itself, but also in making sure that it wasn't as extensive as the israelis wanted to. and in that sense, one can say that it is a tactical victory for the administration, particularly mindful of the fact that this is just days before the election. however, just as it was tactical success in april as well with the u.s. played a very important role in terms of choreographing at the escalation. it was nevertheless a tactical victory with a strategic defeat, because we should not be in this position, the region should not be in a position that we're constantly on the verge of a larger regional war. et true the escalation would have gotten us many, many steps away from the brink, but we continue to be on the brink and ultimately, that's not good for the united states. and it's certainly not good for the region yeah, you're absolutely right. >> even if this iranian fronts, so to speak, is over, there's still two major conflicts going

on in both lebanon and gaza very much have the potential to escalate the situation in the region, trita parsi pleasure having you on. thank you very much for your thoughts this evening. >> thank you. >> israel strikes back on iran. our breaking news coverage does continue after this quick break. stay with us the fund experienced a cnn magic wall in the palm of your hand get live results expert insights and an immersive election experience, the magic wall, find it in the cnn app today. our wish my tv bladder. let you choose what i pay for slaying. >> let's do that choose what i pay for it. >> let me pause lot subscription went flying. what do you do that? >> i wish my tv provider let me choose what i pay for and let me pause. >> muscle corruption went i want him to have hundreds of free channels letting left to
