5:02 pm

5:03 pm
iranian general and attack on the iranian consulate in damascus. we had the white house doing what they've been doing for quite some time, which is announcing full support for israel out of the bite. and white house said that they plan to it's for israel and consider this any, any response from israel to iran, a response to be self defense. this is what biden said, prior to today's big announcement, we are devoted to the defense of israel. we will support is real, we will defend, help defend israel, and iran will not succeed. thank you very much. now it's important to note that in light of the news, we understand biden has caught his travels shorts and that he's urgently headed back to the united states. to meet with the secure national security team. this situation is considered very serious by us officials. um and the us is now warning
5:04 pm
. this will be the 1st of upcoming attacks from iran. the us government has announced the day i anticipate. iran will launch a number of attacks against israel as retaliation for what recently happened. there are already us military reinforcements headed to the region. now they had begun heading there in response to a ron's announcement that they were planning to retaliate against israel. but united states has stood firmly behind israel. ready without question, protecting them of the un security council, etc. since october 7th, as there has been wide spread call for a ceasefire, the united states has supported israel and its continued bombardment of gaza. and there have been situations where even staffers in the bind administration have gone out to protest against what the white house and the us government policy has been, which is just absolute support for israel and the in addition to its bombardment of
5:05 pm
gaza. israel has continued to strike iranian targets and iranian aligned forces throughout the region. there have been a number of israeli strikes against iranian allied forces. uh, and the latest was, of course, that attacked on the consulate in damascus that killed 7 iranians, including a top general. so that is what iran is responding to these reports of drones that are on their way to hit israel. thousands of them possibly followed up by cruise missiles that's coming in response to ron's attack on the consulate, israel's attack on the consulate in damascus. so quite a developing story, israel announcing they intend to respond to both the defensive. ready legs and sensitively with the white house scrambling to change biden's travel plans to make sure he can handle this situation. us forces on their way to the region. all right, with the latest update, our state of side live from new york off. these are k that month. and let's go from new york now live to have ron, and the iranian capital onto the use of july,
5:06 pm
the. now joining us here at about 12 35 am where you are right now in the capital you is definitely getting all sorts of reports of drones flying over iraq. you territory heading towards the israel. we're also getting reports unconfirmed of the launch of various miss all and some iranian territory though that is totally unconfirmed. yusef, what do you know? or? or of course story. that's a major announcement by the iranian i r g c. these level competitions are score and the internet is flooded with the those clips unconfirmed for image for clips and footage, showing iranian drones on the border with air walk on the skies of in the skies of your body flying towards uh, what uh, the iranian officials um claimed to be some targets idea of targets inside israel and that's based on the announcement in his statement just released by the i
5:07 pm
r g c and i'm reading from that statement it's we start in response to the numerous crimes of the sinus regime. i'm reading from the statement um it says that the responsible, numerous crimes of design this regime, including the attack on the iranian consulate in damascus. and the martyrdom of a group of our military commanders and advisors and syria. the air force or, or of course or the exact name is the aerospace division of these level competition garza or targeted specific positions inside the occupied territories by firing dozens of missiles and drones. so that's a major development, and that's the 1st serious response on the part of a wrong in retaliation for the recent, the april 1st attack by israel against it. wrong console or section of the iranian embassy in the syrian capital, damascus. of course, um,
5:08 pm
everyone was speculating about whether or not iran will respond score so, but even us officials uh, speculative about the scale and the nature of the airlines response when it will come and to what extent it one will go with its response against as well and now we see that one was really serious and it, uh, the i r g c titled its operation operation. truth from um is suggesting that it is um, uh, it seeks to really fulfill its promises. different iranian officials have earlier said that they did warranty united states and they did warn israel that it runs from is of a retaliation other retaliatory attack is true. so for now, the story is the developing. we have to wait for official comments from these lubbock are public officials, including from the r g c. 2 of course. um,
5:09 pm
perhaps brief reporters on what will happen to what's lang erewhon will go with it's twice of course. so at the same time what the strikes that we're launched from iran, we heard that has been law also on some strikes against as well enough. and of course, some drones from young men were fired towards these really territory. so we have to wait and see what will happen and how this story unfolds in the future and the coming days and perhaps hours. yes, it's not far off from 1 o'clock on sunday morning where you are right now, years of life and the iranian capital stand by. i'm sure we'll see you soon for more updates on this breaking news. much obliged. well, that's why i'm on our cost to live to a full my pentacle on seeing, you know, security policy analyst barriers right. michael miller with a very well welcome to you. michael. just talked to a 5 pm your time where you are right now in washington. holy moly, look at what we got going on. iran is confirming michael, that attack is on the way up to 50 drones are set to be launched with reports,
5:10 pm
the ballistic missiles either primed or already in flight, a lot of unconfirmed reports, but i'll put it to you. mike. what do you make of it? well i and i make of it that it's probably dame on, and the question is, what targets are going to be hit drones take about 9 hours of and that, that seem to be purposeful, that it was a signal while i thought that it was going to be a limited type of thing, but now that they're going to be sending ballistic missiles and cruise missiles plus we see a concerted effort out of human and a um and out of uh, husband are out of the north of a truck from the north of the israel that suggests that there's a coordinated effort here, and that it's more serious and i 1st thought i thought it was going to be limited, but uh, this appears to be uh, uh, uh, an escalation and its going to be ratcheted up very rapidly. and um, israel,
5:11 pm
i'm sure we'll respond but the question is how, what, what, what capabilities does is we'll have to launch attacks on, on the iran, frankly this. busy fits into netanyahu's dream come true for years these, but from wanting to get it wrong. and, and his ministers have talked about going back to the head of the snake for what they've determined to be iran. so and this, this ensures that he stays in power and, and stays out of jail. yeah, i mean, i, oh, obviously he's, you know, he's east east continue to run away from these are corrupt and allegations of trial that continues to investigation. it to him, you know, his whole being said that you know what, what time president is always more successful than a non or more time president. but look, i, mike, we've got a wrong confirming this attack, launching drones that are going to arrive, as you said in an hours. it's almost like the spelling out exactly the israel of what's happening and how to respond. i mean, it does,
5:12 pm
it seems strange to you that it runs as okay, we have started our attack, but by the way, tennessee bought a few hours until i drones arrive. i mean the by, by the way, it's really jet so reportedly in the space above israel, couldn't they fly over iraq? you charge me to shoot these drones out with a scholar. you sure. yeah, yeah. the drones can be shut down again. i think that this was calculated to be initially limited, but these kinds of things can escalate and quickly get out of control. and if you get the amenities m m m hospitalized engaged at the same time that that reflects put potentially coordination. and um, and that could escalate that things dramatically on, on, on a number of fronts, not just the iran. and, and this was, this was the concern i, i think the, the initial attack was designed to be limited. and then to see what the follow up, what response would be from israel as just sending initially,
5:13 pm
drones. they usually could be shut down. but signing them in swarms up to 4050 that could possibly potentially overwhelmed their defense systems. yes. and not all shot down. and then then you followed up with a cruise missiles and then with ballistic missiles, that could be that, and you can see where the escalation is gonna be going into effect. so this is a potentially, we're down to going down a slippery slope here. yeah, i mean, let's say it wasn't that it was. yeah, that story might continue. please carry on. carry on. yeah, i was gonna say now the question is, which is united states going to be a position to be able to assist in intercepting and willie ra and then interpret that to be 80 your is real and that, and thereby cause your iran to one to attack us assets and the read. yeah. yeah. so that, that remains to be seen. yeah. it does. i mean, i think it's a very, very good point as well. and isn't there an american aircraft carrier kind of
5:14 pm
cozying up in the region right now, but any but type potential the, i guess retaliation will kick back. i mean, you know, iran is famous for having some of the best miss aisles in the world. i mean, they've got these tunnels buried deep into the mountains. i mean, the topography of iran means you can never have a conventional with the wrong yukon, or you can really do is bought it. but you know, you have these tunnels in the mountains. you would, we do not how long, how many kilometers long they all, they've got. busy notice how many a very, very, very strong powerful missiles and then a few months ago to around said, we've managed to successfully develop hyper sonic miss aisles. or you think 24 hours ago. you had the hezbollah in, in lab and all day they fight a volley of was it 40, also, iraq is into israel. almost all of them are taken out by the iron done. but how would you assess israel's ability to defend itself? i mean, you've got the iron don't, but if ballistics or even a hypoth sonics get involved, would that be a game changer, michael? oh, absolutely. and, and particularly if you do it in swarms, continuous swarms. what's what extent could israel maintain that sustain without
5:15 pm
being resupplied? they, their, their suppliers could easily run out, and that's gonna probably be one of the jobs of the united states has to replenish their suppliers of iron down. and they also have an arrow and they've got david sling. uh the these are meant for upgraded uh, missiles and, and so this, the question is what is the quantity? and evidently something's going to get through. yes they will, will penetrate the question is, what are the, what do they mean that are they aiming that demona, which is the new colors facility reactor for in israel and, and reportedly where a number of their atomic weapons are, uh, are buried. so uh, you know, this, this thing is uh, getting out of control very rapidly. yeah, i mean my, what, what do you think? i mean, nothing, yahoo has already come out and said look here, if they hit us, we will hit them back. it is no for tat tip top so. so let's,
5:16 pm
let's say, let's say, you know there's a ronnie and strike, but they say they touch as ground but to the drones are somewhat effective. let's look at, let's say some of the around the missiles land and hit raw is ready territory. what would you expect the reaction to be? you never know. i think you launch retail in return. i use already stated that the in terms of the target your ron's new colors facilities and i don't think i don't think you'll be successful in that. the question is m m m, given the u. s. assistance us is probably gonna have to assist in air air to air refueling for aircraft that they do have missiles themselves, and the right is right, at least to be able to strike. but, you know, you're, you're going to need bunker busters, because these nuclear facilities are deep inside the, of mountains. and to date, the united states has not provided israel with those type of bunker busters. and which can go very deep into the mountains. and i doubt that that, that we have a bunker buster, frankly,
5:17 pm
that is able to reach the depths that which uh the nuclear facilities were buried. look, the iranians learned to make major lessons from the also rec, reactor bombing in iraq and 1981 by the israelis. so they, they, they have spread out their new killer capabilities around the area and in the mountains. so i, i don't think it's just kind of result in further reprisals. michael, you're in washington right now. so not entirely that far away from pennsylvania avenue. what, what, what do you think? what do you think is going on in the white house right now as well? because the, the president is motoring from andrews as we speak to uh, to the white house he, the cut off is uh, we can uh, journey to uh, remote with beach where he goes every weekend, i guess just the b b to give a sign of urgency and an importance to all of this, and we'll be meeting with his national security team tonight on,
5:18 pm
on the next steps. and, and also how to prove what to provide and how to provide the assistance in and backup to, to get yahoo and, and to israel. because us as well committed, there's just no question about it. and i was hoping i was hoping that a one re, i'm confirm report that i had was that your ron had proposed that if that if you're wrong, if israel agreed to a cease fire. yeah. and, and agreed not to bomb, rasa, then they would not attack and gather that israel to turn that down. yeah. so, uh and yeah, which pretty, pretty predictable rebuff that from, from tel aviv. i mean, let me, let me, i was going to you being at washington. i mean, america already, you know, entrenched in ukraine. it's during these uh, flip taylors and the red sea trying to beat back the who with these losing very badly against the who these. now you bought the middle east firing off for america sending it's uh, one of its across carriers into the region. did you,
5:19 pm
do you honestly think that america it has the appetite and even the ability to get involved and onto another fund line somewhere in the world? oh no, it's especially i don't think this administration wanted that either because we got the impending election and, and things aren't celebrated on that for on that domestic front. plus wait, we're going over there to defend another country and it's borders and we have our own border opened up. and there's already been registered. 59 terrorists noted terrace on the, on the terrace list that have been apprehended. so uh and not to mention the got away. so merican people are very concerned about trying to show up things domestically. but now the attention is internationally. and i guess this is a, again, playing into the, into the hands of met yahoo, that you know, that he's not going to be deposed in the middle of a war. and he's dragged united states into it. and the american people don't want
5:20 pm
it. and we, we already have provided incredible amounts of, of stockpiles to ukraine. now we're going to, i think, one of the things that the white house is going to have to ascertain this. how quickly can they replenish us supplies and, and be able to meet the needs of israel on this. now that they're so so committed once you head down that slippery slope, it's, uh, it's very difficult to pull back. and i don't know how this ends. the concern i have is that this could, if, if iran is uh, united states begins to also attack it wrong, this could also bring in russia and china. and this is something that could extend beyond the region and something that i'm really concerned about that stuff that we . busy will war scenario that you're describing right? the my total knowledge potentially senior security policy analyst, fruitful many of the public on joining us a live updates and analysis during this breaking news. michael. many,
5:21 pm
thanks. thank you. roy are shifting gears and a program here and also you just briefly, we'll go over that on bass now where russian troops of taking the village of a part of a mice going a that's in the don't ask a public. according to the russian defense ministry, which said that ukraine lost over $200.00 troops in the battle. as our senior correspondent reports of the russian ministry of defense has confirmed the capture a bit of a mice good. by the center of the group. this is often repeated reports, the official about the capture of the settlement by russian forces off the ibt. it was probably showing the russian flag on the west and moved out good soft a vast credit and launched a number of costs sleep yet. that's where it counts for tax in order to beat the russians back from the west and outskirts of the city in order to keep a foothold in the settlement. but hasn't worked. there is now 14 showing you crate
5:22 pm
in forces report to the fleet in disarray from the settlement. this would make it the 5th settlement captured by russian forces since the full of difficult you get the highlights, the difficult position that you create in forces already in suffering as they are for almost severe and evident shortage. imagine pilot in quality troops, especially as sold troops, as well as a shortage of observation. we're talking here about large caliber artillery shells which are absolutely essential to any operation. and the operation here. we have also heard subscales ahead of you. peyton's forces come out and say that since the electrons russians on the offensive across the front slide, a revitalized offensive utilizing all the groups and, and quick probing attacks across the front lines. he says the situation remains desperate for the great inside and now resting, resting additional fortifications across the front floods. here with federal mice
5:23 pm
go, for example, ukrainian fortifications defenses. the young people must have been completed again, forcing them to throw additional troops brigades in order to assure up defenses and prevent a rushing break to it. mean, general president phillips case come out and so the 1st time admitted to grade now faces the faith unless it receives a huge, a balance of defense systems. from the west. you mentioned about 25 patriots defense systems. bearing in mind that the united states has about 50 and they're only about a 100 in the world. but again, it is russian app hall, especially glide booms or specifically glad problems that are wrecking habits on you. paid in troops on you credit again, exasperating new credit in mind, power shortages, and fueling the momentum for high and rushes,
5:24 pm
renewed offensive. and in the neighboring as i thought over here at region 11 and people were killed when residential buildings came on, the ukranian shelley, the regional governor, says 3 civilians are still missing, perhaps still in the february 20 people hospitalized. i mean heard from some of those. we survived a low medium size. i come describe it. it's terry fine. especially since i found out that almost all of my neighbors of dad, my god, i don't even know how i survived. i lost consciousness when ever since fell on me, and then i will call pilots. and there was no balcony. the jolts of the gap insurance was blocked. i made my way to the bathroom. i saw sol just running around . i called out to them and they took me through the window. when they were pulling me out, i saw a nearby house is completely collapse, says there was and then the whole house. they say that everyone died there. the girl was just coming in from the garage. fortunately. i went behind the house here
5:25 pm
. otherwise then did i get we can get the icon to the 5 me sauce. she says and you did to put unfortunately some children died. i pulled one out of myself. sure it's hodge, and that's the rest of it. when the shelling started, we jumped right into the bath top. as we were told earlier, that if you'll leave on the ground floor and then salvation isn't the best off. we're on there and said down that it's shot for the 2nd time. it was sold in my ears. the bathroom door flew off. we looked around. the bus stop was still standing . we were still standing, but the floor had collapsed into the basement. within the best tops until morning and then the guys came and helped us will land as we turn into a huge areas of lakes across the r, a bug bridge. and a central rush of the flooding crisis continues to read. how about the river
5:26 pm
o dial has now reached a height never seen since reco. it's began leaving entire villages in on day to local authorities say around 20000 people are being evolved from the city of oregon, but already 3000 homes. pretty much out of commission, the russian emergency ministry as well, and the situation will only watson as a producer continued to report from the region. see if problem is that what the, in the review of your, all it is at the level of 11 meet us and 75 centimeters. if i'm not mistaken, has reached a point where, where it is flooding the residential areas inside the city itself. the city of for, and look, for example, there you can see it will, it was washed away by, by your role was just a few hours ago. and it's like a domino effect. the more water comes through seating. the more, the more cities being flooded, the more pressure each creates full government agencies. the main agency of which
5:27 pm
is are responsible for conducting the creation, etc. piece. of course, russian emergency ministry bus problem is that they are running out of manpower. they are running out of boats. they are running out of medical supplies. and when, what time slots hospitals schools, it destroys the proper work of the city damage. she is being measured in tens of billions of troubles already, and we have not yet reached the peak of which 4 people are being evacuated entire will adjust, went on the water, and no one knows when we'll eat and the minute which i faulty reporting from or in the region, the bad weather was also hit the southern, the russian city of nell check where heavy right and hail of course tales on the roads. will that bring up some dash come for the for you basically showing motorists having a pretty difficult time getting through the street. so those scenes right. that looks like something out of winter. and despite the stormy weather authorities
