sabrina singh would not quite go that far in talking about this. she was then pressed repeatedly on, is this now the regional conflict the u.s. has been trying to avoid ever since october 7th? now the point here was sort of trying to draw a line here. we have seen more than 160 attacks on iraq, syria, and in jordan. the vast majority of these impact areas that have no effect or are intercepted by u.s. air defenses that protect u.s. troops there. this one got through. even if that was the intent of the 160 or so others, none have gone through to this point. that was a point to try to make there, that this is not a regional conflict now. it is, however, and escalation here, and that sort of thinking will guide the u.s. response, of course, neither sabrina singh or john kirby has been on the air earlier. we will telegraph exactly how the u.s. will respond. that something the ministration is, a, still trying to figure out, and b, we will let you know when the decision has been made. >> and, oren, this particular drone came in and took out the living qu

. >>> joining us now is sabrina singh deputy press house secretary. ng us. nice to meet you virtually. i want to start with u.s. strikes against houthi rebels yesterday even as houthis damaged another cargo ship in the red sea. does the u.s. need to take a stronger stand to get the attacks done themselves? >> thanks, andrea, for having me on. exactly what you said, we did take action against four ballistic missiles which we believe were prepared to launch against red sea commercial shipping lanes and against where our u.s. destroyers are located. you saw us take action. last week on thursday, we struck six different locations we believe houthis have been holding many capabilities that have been used to attack commercial shipping lanes and 12s and our crews that are transporting the red se a very important waterway. we always reserve that right to ntinue our response. and while i won't forecast any punches of ours, we all have that right to protect our forces, protect our troops and ensure that the international rules base order is upheld. >> do the att

we just heard that from your deputy, sabrina singh. i just spoke with k.t.tration. she took issue with that language. this is not a time she said to say we do not seek war. this is a time to say all options are on the table. so is that phrase, "we do not seek war" is that a directive from the white house to keep saying that? >> look, from a military standpoint, from a department of defense standpoint, you've got to focus on the broader strategic and operational objectives here. after the hamas attack in october in which over 1,200 innocent israelis were killed, the united states deployed a significant amount of force in the region to provide capability to not only contribute to our regional deterrence efforts, but also to provide capability for a wide range of contingencies. now, the reason that we're there again is to work with allies and partners to ensure security and stability in the region. as you highlight, there's significant tensions right now. that's our focus. our focus is not to escalate this in to a broader war or conflict. nobody wants that. tha

is, today will focus on the long-term needs of ukraine, deputy press secretary of the pentagon sabrina singhers on monday. even we can't provide security assistance right now. our partners continue to do this - said singh and the meeting. let me remind you that it will be virtual, as austin is still recovering at home from complications of prostate cancer treatment. this is actually operational information. but there are also good signals, in particular, it turns on, so to speak to say, well, on... some kind of gear revs up. italy, so italy will use the g7 presidency to demonstrate its loyalty to kyiv , many people write about it, and the reuters agency, and we also trust the reuters agency, let me quote: rome intends to counter the rhetoric that russia is winning in ukraine and that the west got tired yes, and italy will preside over the j7, which also, let me remind you, includes connections. japan, germany, great britain, france and canada during the 24th year, during the current year and will receive respectively summit in june, and russia's war against ukraine will be one of the main to

we've been speaking to the deputy pentagon press secretary, sabrina singh, for her reaction to the icjthis war started it was a terrorist attack that happened on israeli soil. of course israel has every right to defend itself but that doesn't mean that israel cannot uphold humanitarian laws and the laws of armed conflict. we've been clear from the beginning that we don't want to see innocent palestinians die for that refugees getting caught in the middle of trying to flee to safe places to get caught in this war and caught in the middle. we've been very clear in our conversations both publicly and privately with the israelis and the idf that they have to do everything possible to protect innocent lives and also allow humanitarian aid to continue to flow into gaza. i also spoke with luis moreno ocampo, a lawyer who served as the first prosecutor of the international criminal court. here's our full conversation. what does it mean to you that the icj stop short of calling for that an immediate cease—fire but yet has put a series of measures in place for israel? well, first icj did two dif

also at the pentagon, here at the briefing, i asked the deputy spokesperson of the department, sabrina singh, what are the risks of not approving this assistance? she replied that she believed that american lawmakers. understand the importance of this issue and understand what the consequences may be and she believes that in the end this aid will be approved, let's hear the answer. well, i think it's certainly a concern if we can't continue to support ukraine, and i really think that members of congress from both parties understand the impact that that will have, but i will say that it's important that it's not just the united states right now support ukraine. our allies and partners have stepped up. in terms of training, funding and support, so it's not just the united states, but the united states' support for ukraine is incredibly important in showing a unified message not only to europe, to russia, but to the whole world. our support, as you heard from the president himself, is unwavering, and we will support ukraine as long as it takes. i truly believe that there are members of congress

we�*ve been speaking to the deputy pentagon press secretary sabrina singh for her reaction to the rulingwhen this war started, it was a terrorist attack that happened on israeli soil and, of course, israel has every right to defend itself. but that doesn�*t mean that israel can�*t uphold humanitarian laws and the laws of armed conflict. and so, we have been clear from the beginning that we don�*t want to see innocent palestinians die, we don�*t want to see innocent civilians, refugees that are getting caught in the middle of trying to flee to safe places, to get caught in this war and caught in the middle. we have been very clear in our conversations, both publicly and privately with the israelis and the idf, that they need to do everything possible to protect innocent lives and also allow humanitarian aid to flow into gaza. a short time ago, i also spoke about all this with stephen rapp, former us ambassador at large for war crimes issues during the obama administration. i want to start by asking about the decision in terms of the court saying israel must take action to ensure that as s

according to pentagon spokeswoman sabrina singh, the participants are inside. on the long-term needs of ukraine. the meeting will take place at a time when the united states of america has no money and cannot send ammunition and missiles. since the decision on the aid package has not yet been passed in congress. america is also counting on help from other allies to ukraine. the meeting will be held online. this is already the 18th meeting of the military coalition with participation representatives of about 50 countries. everything is gone and we are getting ready. to make matters worse, with such words, the horrified russians are deploying air defense systems around st. petersburg, probably frightened by the successful attacks of ukrainian drones. the moment of installation of the s-300 air defense system was filmed by a resident of the leningrad region. let me remind you that last week our drones hit objects in this region of russia for the first time since the beginning of the war. and in conclusion. in this issue , i will talk about the far eastern blackout , fires broke out in v

this was stated by pentagon deputy spokesperson sabrina singh during the briefing. according to her, the united states of america is still assessing what happened and how the drone was able to hit the base in one strike. neither is there reliable information about who exactly is responsible for the attack. but washington suggests that these are militants supported by iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. let me remind you that earlier it became known that a drone attacked the american base in jordan, which... is located near the syrian border, according to the media , the administration of president biden is currently considering possible options for a response. the next issue is already at 11, read more on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks, join, put your likes, my colleagues oksana vysochanska and roman chaika will continue the conversation with analytics, don't switch, stay with the espresso team. we are coming back, we welcome everyone who joins us, and you remember, for the 141st brigade, you must donate until we collect 1 million hryvnia

here was deputy prentiss on press secretary, sabrina singh, yesterday. >> no one is disputing the fact continuing to see the houthis disrupt commercial shipping, our own military ships in that region in the red sea in the gulf of aden. we are seeing skirmishes between hezbollah and the idf. but again, the conflict has remained contained to gaza. >> so, it's a rather siloed explanation. we also saw sort of the siloed explanation when it came to the administration parsing between the seagulls, who died off the coast of somalia, on their mission where they were interdicting iranian-made weapons headed for the houthis and yemen. our biden administration officials being as forthright as they should be about how big and interconnected this conflict is in the middle east has become, so the american people will truly understand that? >> i believe that they are. look, there is no doubt this has become big and interconnected, and has been for a while. but when we talk about whether or not this war spreads, obviously, it has spread in some ways beyond gaza. with the houthis and others. but unders

. >> martha: i also want to play this quickly and get your response to sabrina singh and president bidene strikes are working. watch this. >> are the air strikes in yemen working? >> when you say working, are they stopping the houthis? no. are they going to continue? yes. >> martha: what do you make of those two answers from the white house and from the pentagon, sir? >> martha, it's infuriating. this administration is so wetted to appeasement strategy that they're inviting escalation. because of that, we continue to see these half measures all over the world. it's only inviting the world to be on fire, case in point, of not going back to a full fto, foreign terrorist organization designation, which is the strongest we have. we go to kind of a half measure. thinking it will be too provocative. too escalatory. that is actually -- that kind of weak half-hearted response is what is inviting this escalation. we just heard from the president, the commander-in-chief on friday that hey, the iranians have gotten the message loud and clear. what do they do? unleash a torrent of missiles against t

by the way at the pentagon yesterday, the deputy press secretary sabrina singh was asked another keystion. >> are you willing to say the conflict is no longer contained and it's spreading. >> i wouldn't say that the conflict is spreading in that we have seen over 100 attacks on u.s. forces. this attack was certainly escalatory in that it killed three service members. >> it's not spreading when troops literally have died in another country? we can't discount the fact that these attacks are incredibly dangerous and put our service members at risk. they have not, up until yesterday, inflicted lethal harm. >> laura: i mean, senator, i don't even know what to say about that performance yesterday. but this is mickey mouse club. >> laura, of course the conflict is spreading and these people are completely asleep at the wheel. do you know what we haven't talked about, laura. the fact that we face a massive recruitment challenge because america's military leadership going to war with the american population curly. it's time to rebuild and get a new president. >> laura: that's the only way it'

houthi springs that's number one, sabrina singh said there hasn't been a response yet. you need to wait and see what iran does. do they take action against the oil tankers on the open sea? the third thing is hezbollah is on speed dial for the iranians. they are on the northern border with israel. whether or not they take that call and respond to something that we'll wait to see. >> dana: today marks 100 days the hostages have been held by hamas. we have all of this swirling around plus this swirling around. potential blizzard and subzero temperatures could have a big impact on the iowa caucuses. bill melugin and shannon bream are live from the hawkeye state. >> bill: hunter biden pleading not guilty on federal tax charges. jill biden is defending him in a brand-new interview. >> dana: growing fallout from the houthis. will the overnight result provoke a response from tehran. >> i fear we will engage there this tit-for-tat in an effort to avoid further escalation. such an approach signals to our enemies the biden administration is reluctant to provoke iran. need cash but

sabrina singh is with us now. a lot to get to. an active world.ther or not we can keep the middle east with a lid on it right now. from what i understand, the individual who was targeted and taken out in eastern baghdad was traveling in a vehicle with another person which tells me we were tracking him. is this administration willing to hit again? >> look, we always reserve the right to protect our forces, to protect our people that are stationed whether in the middle east and around the world. the u.s. military took action against a known terrorist leader that has led orchestrated attacks against u.s. forces in iraq and syria. i won't forcast any future actions. it is deliberate action by the u.s. military against a known terrorist leader that has again time and time again attacked u.s. forces based in iraq and syria who are there on the mission to enduring defeat of isis, you saw that yesterday and again i won't get ahead of any future action. >> dana: interesting that isis claimed responsibility for the attack in southern iran yesterday. are the

sabrina singh here. >> we don't seek war, we don't think we are at war.at might be true but the houthis backed by iran have other ideas, it seems. your thoughts. >> we don't want a war. we may not think we're at a war. we may not say we're in war, we are in a low-grade war. we're firing at them, they are firing at us. they are hitting commercial vessels, we're striking back. that's a war of some kind. we've got to recognize it and we have to hit this at the source. the source is not the houthis. the source is iran. >> dana: you think we should strike inside iran? >> what we're doing now is not working. we are are hitting the houthis, a group that wants to get hit. you look at some of the houthi messaging here and dell gram and messaging in the region promoting this as they brought the united states into war. they brought commercial shipping, global commerce, to its knees. they are fighting on behalf of the palestinians. they are gaining a lot of support. every time we strike inside of yemen three gaining a lot of support. they are gaining a lot of stature

how far are they willing to go and pentagon deputy press secretary sabrina singh will join us about america'sxies in the middle east. join us top of the hour. >> kayleigh: breaking news, sources telling fox news former presidential candidate tim scott is set to endorse former president trump later today. "new york times" is reporting trump and his team have been banking on scott's endorsement ahead of new hampshire's presidential primary. this comes after former competitors burgum and vivek ramaswamy endorsed president trump and notably this endorsement would come ahead of new hampshire and ahead of south carolina. of course the home state of nikki haley and home state of senator tim scott, a meaningful and impactful endorsement that might give former president trump a tailwind as he heads into nikki haley's home state of south carolina. we'll watch that news. >> emily: this. according to new survey, student loan borrowers are boycotting debt payments, a quarter of respondents have made zero payments in 2023. of that quarter, 10% say they are holding off indefinitely banking on biden bailing

the question is, they did it yesterday, why didn't they do it two weeks ago, sabrina singh was on america's we could accurately degrade the houthis. they could have accurately degraded the houthis five years ago. didn't need to wait. >> we have enormous intelligence assets in the region. i think we knew where the missiles and the drones and everything were coming for. i think president biden had to get pressured into it. his first instinct is not to escalate, to be in my view overly cautious but i think he finally realized the houthis were not going to go away and it was beginning to impede the world's commerce. 15% goes through the strait and time to get something done. >> john: you mentioned the shipping that goes through here, and the strait about 18 miles wide, about half the width of the straits of hormuz up until now was the choke point. 27 attacks on commercial shipping since november 19th and then there's this, more than 130 attacks against u.s. interests in the middle east, and of course, we all know when we go back to this screen here, if it works, there we go. we missed a screen.

now let's go to the pentagon where the deputy press secretary, sabrina singh is addressing the media.we will not tolerate continued attacks on american forces and we will take all necessary actions to defend u.s. military men and women deployed and do so at our choosing. over the weekend the secretary received regular updates on attacks against u.s. forces and participated in a briefing with the president and his national security team. secretary austin returned to work at the pentagon. he hosted the nato secretary general for a bilateral meetings, they discussed the war in ukraine, next nato summit and to strengthen trans atlantic security. and also met with president biden toe white house and later today will host again the nato secretary general alongside secretary blinken and the national security adviser. additionally the secretary's tentatively scheduled to visit walter reed for a follow-up appointment this evening. as the doctors said in the statement on friday, secretary austin continues to recover well and is expected to make a full recovery following his treatment for prosta
