6:02 am
iran fired around 170 attack drones more than 30 cruise missiles. and more than 120 ballistic missiles on israel from iran. during an attack that was about five hours long. president biden is set to convene an emergency meeting of the g7 today and the united nations security council also holding an emergency meeting this afternoon after meeting with his national security team late into the night biden telling israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that israel should consider this a win since there were no major fatalities caused by the iranian strikes and biden also telling it to the who that the united states would not participate in any offensive operations against iran. that's according to a senior biden administration official. iran for its part says it was retaliating for a strike in syria earlier this month in which several top iranian military officials were killed what comes next? >> will the united states be
6:03 am
>> able to prevent further escalation? let's start our coverage right now with cnn correspondent jeremy diamond, who's in northern israel. jeremy, what's the latest where you are? >> well, jake, over the course of the morning, we have seen as hezbollah fired dozens of rockets in the direction of northern israel and the golan heights. israel today, responding with multiple airstrikes. of course this all came hours after iran, over the course of five hours, fired over 300 drones and missiles targeting israel. although very few of those actually made it through only a few ballistic missiles, according to the israeli military actually hit the the nevatim, airbase in southern israel calling with the israeli military has described as minor damage. but now of course, shake the question poses itself as the how exactly israel will respond. i spoke with israeli official this afternoon who told me that israel will respond to the question now, is exactly how and how big of a response there is in the words
6:04 am
of this official the choice is between breaking the dishes, as they described it, going all out, shifting the paradigm fully in terms of these iran, israel, this long-simmering proxy war between these two sides that is now a significantly escalated, or perhaps a more measured response that would also reflect the fact that despite the he, large-scale nature of this attack by iran, that a very few of those missiles actually made it through israel and other countries, defense systems. so the israeli war cabinet which is comprised of the israeli prime minister, his the former defense minister benny gantz, his top political adversary as well as the defense minister yoav golan, and several other observers in that war cabinet. they are currently meeting right now. and this of course, is the center of that discussion exactly how to respond to this large-scale attack by iran. and of course, when that might happen all right, >> jeremy diamond in northern
6:05 am
israel. thank you so much joining us now to discuss republican senator from florida marco rubio. he's the vice chair of the senate select committee on intelligence. senator rubio, thanks so much for joining us. you are the vice chair of senate intelligence. what are you hearing about this attack and what is your assessment? of iran's goal here >> well, arounds goal it has always been the same and that is to make israel and unlivable place around does not believe that it can hit iran knows it cannot beat israel militarily. but what it does aspire to do is make israel an impossible place to live in a place no one wants to visit i hear a lot of talk right now about how this was a performative attack and how that none of them got through. and this is all great. it's good that those strikes to not get through and harm anybody. but what do you think the tourism numbers are today in israel and in the next couple of weeks, what do we think the business numbers are going to look like this? all of this is harmful to the jewish state because that is the goal of iran ultimately, and that's why they want us out of iraq. that's why they want us at a syria that's why they want to overthrow the qing and jordan. and that's why they want to continue to surround israel
6:06 am
from from, from gaza from lebanon, they aspire one day from jordan, from syria, from iraq, have all these proxies that are able. and then from iran now able to attack israel and make it an unlivable place so that the jewish state will collapse from within economically and socially that is the goal, that is their aspiration. that is why many of those drones had lights on. so you could see them coming in and the terror aspect of that. and that's what we need to understand here, is that as core of all of this is not simply to respond to the death of an irgc killer, but it is also to continue to move forward on this plan to make israel and unlivable place. >> but we're waiting to see how israel response to this attack, iran is already warning that any israeli retaliation will be met with a more severe response from iran. you called this the most dangerous moment for the middle police since 1973 what do you think israel should do >> well, i'm not going to tell you what to do because i'm not the one that was attacked by
6:07 am
300 rockets and and missiles and drones. i do know that israel has very clear military doctrine and that is that they respond to attacks by responding to those with something much more severe. it is how they have survived. this is a country, a jewish state that on it's very first hour of existence, was attacked and mlf for multiple directions by multiple countries and it has not stopped since then. they have faced constant existential threats to their existence on a repeated basis throughout their history. in fact, their history is defined by that and so they have made the decision on their military doctrine that they respond to a on israel disproportionately and it is the reason why we have not had another 1973 or 1967 situation. now, look, this is, i imagine that israel does not want a full-scale war either and one of the ways they have prevented it in the past is through the kind of deterrence that comes from firm attack. so i expect that they will respond. i don't think they're going and ask us nor do they need us to help them in that regard ours has been largely a defensive posture. what i don't
6:08 am
understand is why joe biden and the administration would leak to the media the contents of a conversation in which he tells netanyahu he doesn't think netanyahu should respond at all. it is the continuing part of this public game that they are playing, which frankly encourages iran and hezbollah, which we haven't even talked about. and the houthis and all these other elements that are targeting israel you're leader senator mitch mcconnell says the first order of business in congress is for the house to pass that foreign aid supplemental bill that passed the >> senate months ago, which includes funding for israel as well as ukraine in taiwan. do you agree? well, i >> know when it comes to israel, the house is on i think two occasions now passed. israel funding. it sits languishing on the floor of the senate. i know there was an effort by senator roger marshall to pass israel aid. this was a couple of months ago. it was blocked by the democrats. so yeah, we could go on monday to washington, dc. we can pass aid israel right away
6:09 am
>> what about the house acting you're i mean, that's the house's already acted and i imagined if the senate, the house were to send the senate where to send the house and israel aid bill on monday, the house will pass it. i have little dog, but they've done it already before. >> you don't support tying it to the ukraine aid >> well, the >> problem with tying it to the >> ukraine aid is that as we have said, very clearly in that i think there's any mystery here. we'll i for one, but not everybody, but i want to prepare to help ukraine, but i want to see us deal with the southern border and that was the that was the negotiation. that was the talk. that was the agreement. that's what what's going to happen. and it didn't happen. what they came up with as unacceptable when it came to the border. but i remain a supportive helping ukraine, but i'm a big supporter and even bigger supporter of helping america i'm an american senator, and so i hope those two things can happen in conjunction. but when it comes to israel, this is, this is something that has long enjoyed strong bipartisan support. we can vote on it on monday. it should be able to pass unanimously. have not. we should take votes on it. and i am confident the house would
6:10 am
pass it very quickly thereafter. because they've done so already >> iran says its attack and you already alluded to this was in response to the alleged israeli strike on the iranian embassy complex in damascus, syria, in which at least seven iranian military officials were killed, including a senior irgc official. what do you say to those who wonder if israel crossed a line by targeting an embassy. and what do you say to those who say that that gave iran no choice but to respond >> well, first i think they're misinformed. what is what was hit wasn't annex building next to a consulate it was an annex building occupied by irgc agents who are target, they are on the ground in lebanon every single day. coordinating and helping hezbollah and others in the region attack israel. i think lost in all of this, we talked about the 300 launches against israel yesterday, the night before just the night before 32, 50 rockets were launched from lebanon by hezbollah against israel. there
6:11 am
are close to 90,000 currently internally displaced israelis that cannot return to their homes in northern israel because it is under constant bombardment from hezbollah. how hezbollah attacking them, they are using the targeting information being provided by those irgc agents, the weapons being provided to them. and these long-range missiles, rockets, and precision strike weapons being provided to them by those irgc officials. this is almost a daily occurrence. it almost is like, oh, yeah, there was another 50 rockets. yes, mr. day those are the guys running that. and those guys are legitimate military targets and they were struck in an annex building that was near the console. that's what that was yeah. i mean, you're attacking israel. we're just going to let those guys sit there behind some desk. and continue to coordinate the delivery of weapons and intelligence information. so that israelis cannot live in the north it, is part of the strategy and this idea that's just like the soleimani stuff for all these people around crying because soleimani was killed, they called it an assassination. this guy is his hands were drenched in the blood of americans because of
6:12 am
the ieds that they help provide in iraq during that conflict. these people are legitimate military targets. >> your colleague, senator marsha blackburn, tennessee called on president biden, to quote, move quickly and launch aggressive retaliatory strikes on iran. unquote. >> do you support us strikes? on iran? and if not, how do you think the biden administration should respond >> well, i support defending american troops in the region. we have people stationed in the region and multiple countries. and we sent them there, whether people liked them being there and not the bottom line is we sent these young americans there and our job is to protect them. i'm in favor of doing anything he can to protect them and prevent them from being attacked. but israel is not asking us to launch attacks on iran. i am not have ever heard the israelis come to us and say, will you help us or will you attack iran are going after iran, they're not asking for that. they're not asking for it. but i think we go from that to the other extreme, which is joe biden telling netanyahu, take the wind, don't do anything then his people
6:13 am
linking it to the media, leaking into the press and what it sets up is they know that israel is going to respond. they know this for a fact. so why would they white house leak it? there's only one reason they leak that. and that is that so when israel does respond, the white house can say, we told them not to do it, and at least somehow in some way, appease the so-called peace activists. by the way, these so ceasefire. now people who were out yesterday cheering the launch of hundreds of rockets and drones and missiles again people that are out there cheering military attacks of this scale and scope are not peace activists. these are anti-semites, anti-israel pro terrorist elements out there. and we need to stop calling them peace activist. they are not peace activist you don't peace activists do not cheer massive attacks against other countries, which is what they were doing yesterday. so i guess this is part of the white house's effort to appease them by putting this out that proactively so in an marco rubio, republican of florida, vice chair of the senate intelligence committee. thank you so much, sir, for coming on today. >> thank you. >> coming up hundreds of drones and missiles intercepted president biden tells israel, take the wind stand and down.
6:14 am
we'll israel do that. what role should the us play? senators john fetterman of pennsylvania and jd vance of ohio will both join me live. that's next. welcome >> to save the union there's debris. and this guy, parents, husbands and wives gone. >> i wish i could've done something differently. you can just make it better for those that follow space shuttle columbia, the final flight, two part finale tonight at nine on cnn. >> all these games on directv, i no satellite on the roof. think about this blue jays cardinals orioles. what's missing? the the in camera. now, while not brain pigeons or other naibe team at the socks to be fair, we're not very athletic >> from friends coming over to mom's coming over so many ways to save life, ready while it happy. but 3605 by whole foods market, we are rahm

6:19 am
the beginning of an open war between the two countries >> well, a couple of things actually, i think it really demonstrates how it's astonishing that we are not standing firmly with israel and there should never be any kinds of conditions. all of that when a nation can launch hundreds of drones towards israel. and i'm not going to be talking about conditions ever and second, i think that also was iran had to have some fireworks after israel smoked that iranian general and i am here for that and i think it's just a matter of theater. part of it as well. two, and finally, it demonstrates how unstable things are and why we need to lean in and stand with israel >> how do you think israel should respond? should israel strike? within iranian territory or are you concerned that that might only escalate matters further >> well, i'm i'm not going to
6:20 am
suggest that what israel should or shouldn't do on that. but i also do think that i is pleased with they have enough of money on the table with all of its proxy is all in the region as well too. and i ran certainly can't take on israel. and certainly not us. so i think they would just like to keep things as they go and then after they made a point back, i think they could go pretty quiet and go back to just using the proxies sees a senior administration official tells cnn that president biden told prime minister netanyahu that the us will not participate in any offensive operations against iran. do you think that's the right call or should direct us military action as some of your colleagues in the senate are suggesting, should that be on the table? >> i don't agree with that and i'm just i'm just think we should follow and have israel's back in the situation. i don't agree with the president. that doesn't change anything that he's a fantastic president. i'm proud
6:21 am
to stand with him and campaign for him and voted for him marco rubio was just on the show and he said the white house leaking the fact that biden told netanyahu not to directly respond to take the win, quote, unquote was offensive to him because it seemed to suggest that he it's biden trying to appease the far left in his party. what's your response >> i don't know >> the president >> is entitled to his own views and whatever he decides to do it. but i would never capitulate capitulate to the fringe, i'll never pander to that is as well. in fact, that helps, that empowers hamas and hamas is can there actually convinced that they are winning the pr war? and they're never going to negotiate at this point. they think that they're going to hold onto the very end. and i i know why they're
6:22 am
not willing to provide any kind of proof of life. and i don't know why there's not more of that conversation in the media, like what about the hostages? what's happened to them? where are they now? and let's just bring them home. and then all of the harsh words should be directed at hamas, which started this. and now continues to hold all of over 100 three israeli hostages >> well, why do you think there isn't more criticism of hamas >> and >> acknowledgment of the fact that they are holding however, many are still alive, dozens, perhaps hostages from israel in tunnels in gaza and elsewhere well, of course the hamas, they're just they're cowards, they're rapists, and they attack civilians and they are now hiding >> in those tunnels. and it's really true. the president couldn't end this war today netanyahu couldn't read this,
6:23 am
this today, but hamas could end this today right now. and all that devastation and the death and all of that, if they just released it all the hostages and surrendered and of course they won't do that. and that's why we're in this situation. >> former president trump was in pennsylvania last night, schnucks ville pennsylvania. he said the president biden's quote, weakness was to blame for the attack on israel and said it would never have attack happened if he was still president. what's your response to that? and are you worried about trump's strengths according to polls in pennsylvania? >> well, i got 99 things and i what trump's saying isn't one of them that i really, my, my advice for him as he should really be focusing on his time in court tomorrow he will be in court tomorrow in the first criminal trial. are you worried about trump winning pennsylvania >> well, no. i mean, it's going to be closing and trump isn't.
6:24 am
of course, these very popular here. i've been saying that same thing eight years ago in 2016. and i was concerned and now i'd like to pointed out that joe biden is the only american that ever beat trump politically. and he's gonna do it again. and he's going to carry pennsylvania. and it's going to be close. but that that also requires that he's going to put in the work that he's doing that infect them this upcoming week. he's going to do just that the minority leader of the senate, mitch mcconnell, said that the speaker of the house should put forward that foreign aid package >> and pass that bill as soon as possible it includes aid to israel, but also aid to ukraine and taiwan. i asked senator rubio what he thought about that and he said that he seems to be suggesting that aid to israel could pass the senate tomorrow. that it had already passed the house on its own, and that aid to ukraine should
6:25 am
not be attached to that. what's your view? >> well, that's a that's a polling and i'll never understand that when i was growing up, we all agreed that russia is the evil empire and we got stand with that. we're all in that same fight and we all need to stand with all these democracies. israel, ukraine, and taiwan as well too. and i understand my colleague is coming up after me and i don't understand where my colleague vance has about ukraine as well too. in fact, he owns in my opinion that dumbest thing i've ever heard about ukraine where he claims to some effect that he doesn't care what happens in ukraine. and that's astonishing to me. and i don't understand the motivation to that as well too, but all i can conclude is that binds with what donald trump says and i don't understand why donald trump seems to love putin as well too, but it's a disgrace if we don't deliver this aid, i voted for it and we need to deliver that and stand with our allies and stand with democracy. >> all right, senator john
6:26 am
fetterman from the great commonwealth of pennsylvania. thank you so much. really appreciate get it >> thanks for having me on >> as you just heard from senator fetterman, we also have what faceted republican senator from ohio close ally of donald trump senator jd vance, republican of ohio. so i will get to the middle east in a second, but he just put the ukraine issue on the four and what is your response? >> well. first shake the idea that putin loves donald trump or donald trump lost. putin is absolutely absurd. putin was actually pretty well behaved during the trump administration. he invaded another country during the biden administration for these guys to say that putin prefers donald trump is completely ignores the underlying realities on the ground here we actually had some real security deterrence when donald trump was president. and of course it's not just in ukraine. so again, what would fetterman saying is preposterous reality show's putin didn't like when donald trump was president and was a lot better behaved. and i think to accuse donald trump of being pro-putin completely the
6:27 am
reality on the ground. >> what fetterman might say where he >> here is, that putin was getting a lot of things that he wanted out of donald trump. so he didn't need to be as hostile. donald trump was clearly more friendly to him than other presidents have been one way or the other, but also, donald trump was more hostile to nato. i don't think that's right, jake, i think dental trump didn't z engage in strategic deterrence. you have to negotiate sometimes even with bad people, even with your enemies. but you have to deter those people. and if you engage in smart deterrence like donald trump did, he doesn't invade countries like ukraine. so i don't buy that argument, but i understand why democrats repeat that talk. well, let me ask you about ukraine because he wrote an op-ed in the new york times saying that you don't think it makes sense the biden pitch for aid to ukraine >> you've >> been accused of appeasement. you've been accused of surrender even the national review had a column about that. and again, i'm gonna get to iran and israel, which i know is a big pressing story, but i do want you to address that
6:28 am
because the national review is basically saying that your solution to the problem of russia invading a sovereign nation, ukraine, is to just surrender. are they wrong >> no, look my solution to the problem is to rebuild are on country the reason that we're in this position, jake, is because we're stretched way too thin were stretched way too thin. and the number of weapons systems that we need, the ukraine needs, the taiwan needs that israel needs, and we can't do all of these things at once. so when you're stretched too thin, you have got to focus and you've got to rebuild your own country. let's take just one of those weapons systems that we're talking about, 155 millimeter artillery shells the russians currently have a five the one advantage over the ukrainians, the israelis will need this stuff. the taiwanese need this stuff. and of course, america needs this stuff. can we possibly fight all of those conflicts that wants to know the math just doesn't make sense. so what we should be doing is with ukraine encouraging them to take a defensive posture, not these disastrous counteroffensive. the bitumen striation has been promoting. it
6:29 am
>> the counter offensives within ukraine and they're not seeking land from russia. and in fact, just i'm just asking judgment on the morality of what they're doing. of course, it's their territory, jake, but you have to acknowledge military reality on the ground. if they're going to waste a ton of money at ton of lives in a ton of ammunition on a counter offensive strategy. but a defensive strategy might actually work. we've got to choose the strategy that might actually work. the counteroffensive is when a g is within ukrainian territory, just today, zelenskyy was suggesting that the strike by iran on israel should serve as a wakeup call in terms of this greater battle. and maybe you disagree with people who see it this way between autocracies and democracies, israel being a democracy as, as ukraine iran, and russia being autocracies. what, what do you say to that? well, i >> think foreign policy is not a nursery rhyme and it should serve as a wakeup call, but it should serve as a wakeup call that we have to rebuild our industrial base. let's take another weapon system that's really important. the patriot
6:30 am
interceptor system, definitely almost definitely saved a lot of israeli lives last night, the ukrainians want thousands of those per year. do you know how many we manufacturer in a year, jake, five if 150, we cannot possibly. >> i've repeated this for >> years now. we cannot possibly support ukraine and israel and our own defense needs in the way that these guys demand. so i think we should focus, i think israel is a much closer ally, is a much more core american national security interests. and of course, we've got to focus on our set selves. that means encouraging the ukrainians to take a defensive strategy. this is really important, jake, because you're gonna hear a lot of calls across washington dc that we now have to pass the supplemental. right. but if we pass the ukraine and israel supplemental and send a ton of weapons to ukraine that the israelis need. we're actually weakening israel in the name of helping it doesn't make any sense mental or is mathematical reality. the supplemental which your leaders center mcconnell has called on the has to pass. the supplemental contains money for israel and ukraine and
6:31 am
taiwan. so it's not a question of either or it's a question of both. >> i think it is a question of either oraa because it's not about the money again, it's about the weapons. if we he passed the supplemental, we go from making 550 patriot interceptors to 600 that's 100 more in the world needs thousands of these things. so really it goes back to the basic math of this. if you don't make enough weapons to fight three wars, you've got to figure out how to focus and my proposals, we focus ourselves and we focused on our closest allies so let's talk about that what do you think israel should do? what do you think the us should do in response to iran's on precedent attack on israel. it will look, first of all, we condemn the iranian attack. it's great to actually see bipartisan leadership from across the aisle saying that we certainly stand with our friends in israel. i'm not going to pretend to counsel israel still on their strategic response to this. >> i think the >> most important thing for the united states here is to one, prevent this from becoming a broader regional conflict because we're already
6:32 am
stretched very thin and too to support our israeli allies. i'm sure they're talking to the iranians through back-channels. i'm sure they know a lot more than a senator in washington, dc and i think we should differ for their strategic wisdom because it's their country and they should, they should to call the shots. what about those who >> fear that >> israel escalating and again, i'm not i'm expressing my opinion on but what about those who fear that israel escalating risks a greater war? i mean, you heard, we've heard senator was on the show earlier saying, and one needs to take a breath, and then you heard john bolton on the show saying that this is an example of what deterrence has got us and there needs to be a much more muscular response. well, look, i certainly think there is a real fear of escalation. senator is right about that part of the reason why we have a fear of escalation, jake is because are deterrence is so weak. and why is it so weak? because the world sees the united states that stretched so thin. i think if we want to re-establish deterrence the most important thing is not how we are israel respond to this attack? it's
6:33 am
how we focus on the long-term on rebuilding our country people are worried that we're not thumping our chest enough. i know that's the john bolton response to this. people think that the united states is a paper tiger, right now, we've got to rebuild our manufacturing capacity. we've got to rebuild our capacity to support our own troops and our allies with weapons that is what will reestablish deterrence. and that's unfortunately what i think supplemental actually spreads this even further and even thinner instead of focusing, focus is what's going to create deterrence. so you would, you would agree with what senator rubio said earlier in the show that the senate to just pick up the the aid bill for israel, just discretely for israel that the house passed. what's important, jake, to remember what senator rubio said as i understand it is exactly right. the senate can pass an israel supplemental tomorrow. in the united states senate the house has taken it up already. the senate's already taken up a couple of different versions that senate democrats have block. so we could get this out of the us congress tomorrow if democrats didn't block it. and again, we've got to focus on

6:38 am
doc? redefining insurance. >> i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon. and this is cnn welcome back to a breaking news packs special edition of state of the union on jake tapper. it's live and expanded and we we are here this morning, israel as weighing right now how to respond to that iranian aerial attack or response at president biden told prime minister netanyahu will have to happen without american assistance joining us now, live from london, cnn chief international anchor chris gentlemen for christiane. this was such an overt course of action from iran after so many years of this shadow war
6:39 am
between iran and israel, more than 300 drones and missiles fired directly from iranian territory to israel can you put this in perspective? what it means for the way israel and iran might interact in the future? >> well, interact is only through this kind of way. they didn't have diplomatic interactions and there are many people who say that actually one of the things that has emboldened you're on and actually taken away some of the constraints, at least was netanyahu and mom had been salman and former president trump dragging the united states out of the nuclear deal and essentially having that collapse, it was at least some kind of arms control mechanism. but right now, this shadow war that israel has been waging and iran has been waging been for the last several years with a lot more activity by israel inside of iran has drawn finally, this response. and it is a rubicon that iran has crossed both physically militarily and also
6:40 am
psychologically. and so i was actually interested that the head of the revolutionary guards today said that this changes the equation that from now on if we are attacked by israel, we will attack back essentially intimating that it wouldn't just be left up to the proxies. it would be from iran again, this really does escalate things get a very, very, very negative way and i think it's going to take a huge amount of creative leadership to try to figure out how to de-escalate and de flick because maybe you know, obviously israel in the united states heavily overwhelm iran in terms of military prowess. but it doesn't mean to say that any warith ir would be easy. anyou just have to go back tthe other wars that have been foug. and they a not easy what's inteing about this is iran is claiming this is in response to that attack that is believed to have been by israel on iranian >> military leaders in an annex in a consulate in damascus,
6:41 am
syria whatever one thinks about that attack it is targeted at military leaders. this of course, would expand it is response around says, but it an expansive 300 missiles and drones, not focused only on in an israeli military base well, i mean, i've yet to see the battle damage assessment and the actual readouts from that. they say they tried to target or did target. the base from which israel did that launch and by all accounts and again, this is by the military spokespeople who have been saying that the vast majority george here of the iranian drones and missiles were shot down outside of israeli air space. they didn't get into israeli airspace even. so, i think that shows you that there is a massive deterrent. israel has a very, very sufficient to get and strong are in dome and all the other things the united states helping are other allies
6:42 am
in the air. i think that was incredibly important. >> all right. christiane amanpour. thank you so much for your perspective as always, i want to bring in someone who has had a lengthy career planning for scenarios exactly like this one, former cia director and retired four-star general david petraeus. he also serve as commander of you with enteral command, which includes part of the middle east, a director petraeus. thanks for joining us. what's your assessment? of the attack by iran? was this a genuine attempt to retaliate overwhelm israel's defenses to cause mass damage? or was this a show of force or iran? but indicating that they don't want actually to escalate further i think it was probably a bit more of the latter than the former. clearly, it was unprecedented. there never has been an attack that came from iranian soil. and of course, these attacks also included some of the proxies in iraq and syria and southern lebanon there's never been something like this in the past, but it seemed a little bit less than
6:43 am
what they might have thrown if they were really serious. in fact, it was probably a good bit less than if they really wanted to cause massive damage struck me as a little bit like that attack the iranians did after the us killed qassem soleimani in baghdad that time they telegraphed it well in advance and again no casualties out of that one in this case. at most, it appears that there was one arab israeli girl who was seriously injured and they have died so there's a tiny bit of this goldilocks aspect to this. i think, although again, a very significant attack iran and israel been fighting this shadow war in the middle east for decades now, this is the first time that iran has directly attacked israel from inside iranian territory, not using proxies like hamas or hezbollah, or the houthi he's just how significant a moment is this for the middle east >> well, it is significant. it's a very big deal. and i think israel will have to take
6:44 am
some action in response. i think it's very clear that the us would like to see that be as limited as possible. keep in mind that the real issue here in addition to israel security, of course, which is first and foremost, but it's also about freedom of navigation from the gulf for the oil and gas that come from the golf and fuel. much of the global economy that's the biggest issue here. and iran, i don't think once do have that disrupted either because they export about 1.6 or 1.7 million barrels a day themselves so keep your eye on that. brent crude is already above $90 a barrel and it would really spike if there was something that interfered with freedom of navigation. fact, we need to figure out what's going on. iran did take a ship the other day that they claimed was in some way dealing with israel. but this is another step up. the rung of escalation i think it's in the interests of everyone to stop the increasing escalation. but we'll have to see what israel
6:45 am
decides to do in this case. >> president biden told prime minister netanyahu that the united states will not participate in any offensive strikes by israel against iran. how would you advise israel to respond to this how worried are you that any responsible only throw fuel on the fire >> well that has to. be a concern and i'm sure they're conscious of that, jake there's the whole menu of actions that they can take, not all of which are necessarily overt they can pursue colbert, they can pursue asymmetric attacks. cyberspace and so forth and keep in mind that of course, washington is meeting with the other g7 countries to determine what kind of diplomatic and economic responses should follow in a coordinated effort as well can't really take your off gaza though at the end of the day, gotta get those hostages back. and i believe still do need to destroy hamas. you don't send the the fire department to extinguish 80% of the fire. they still have work to do there. >> all right. jen will betray
6:46 am
it's always good to see you. thank you so much for your insights joining us now a cnn political and global analyst, barak ravid, who writes for axios and lieutenant colonel jonathan mann rica is a former spokesman for the idf baraka to see the us and others are calling for all parties to exercise restraint after this attack. israel's war cabinet is meeting right now on a potential response. what do you expect? israel will do next? >> hi jake. i think if you ask these rallies on friday after the cabinet, the war cabinet meeting on friday, the plan was to execute and conduct and the mediant response to any rainy but then the iranian attack took place and war cabinet convened and no response yet. so at least it seems that these decided to take a breather and think for a while before they make any decisions and i think just shortly, short while ago member of the war cabinet, benny gantz, they should statement where he said that
6:47 am
israel will respond in the time and place would be choosing which is sort of a code name for we're not gonna do anything immediately. >> israel's national security minister jonathan says that israel should go crazy in response. do you think that's on yahoo will listen to the national security minister? >> hi jake. no, i think that the what influences most the speed of a response is the amount of casualties. and since the attack, the iranian unprecedented attack against israel phil pretty flat on its nose and they didn't cause any significant casualties. there's reports of an israeli girl that was wounded in southern israel, but other than that 300 missiles and drones fired and very little damage in israel, 99 preceptor percent of those things fired, intercepted. that's not a successful strike i can that
6:48 am
gives the israeli government and the cabinet a lot of time to think, have a glass of water or something else that cools the mind and then think of a good strategy. and perhaps most importantly coordinated with the us and with other partners. so that it wouldn't be something that is detrimental to israeli interests. but actually promotes them and i agree with general petraeus, the first-order of de, still is gaza. we still have to finish hamas in gaza. we have to get our hostages home, 133 of them that are still in hamas captivity, hundred and 92 days. there that needs to be settled of them dealt with. and since the tactical achievement here against iranian offenses were so successful, and we basically proved are concept of operating. we can now go back to focus on a very urgent matter, and that is hamas in gaza. they're not going anywhere. our hostages are not yet home and we need to focus on that >> and baraka her beta, prime minister netanyahu is under a lot of pressure himself within
6:49 am
israel for domestic reasons, domestic politics, israel is, of course, still fighting in gaza, still fighting on the border with hezbollah in lebanon. how might everything weighing on netanyahu right now, shape his response? >> i get to say that at least for now >> i mean, it's >> still early, but it doesn't seem that israeli public opinion as a whole is pressing the government to do something immediately we saw in the last few hours in an a tv channel when israel, that is netanyhau's mouthpiece, we saw several of the commentators. they're calling for swift and strong response. >> but >> i think that what matters is that yesterday when the security cabinet convened, it authorized netanyahu, minister of defense, garland, and the minister in the cabinet in the world for cabinet gantz to take any decisions about a response. and there were two ministers who voted against this decision
6:50 am
those were the minister of national security that you mentioned, ben-gvir and the ultra nationalist finance minister, but someone smotrich because they knew that if they are going to authorize those three ministers to take a decision, they will not have any influence on the result. and then the result might be that there's not going to be an immediate response. and i think this is what matters right now. the more radical elements in their israeli cabinet are irrelevant to the decision making. >> jonathan, what's the significance of iran carrying out this massive attack from its home territory, as opposed to through proxies in lebanon or gaza, you posted on x this marx day one of a possible new middle east yeah, i think it is so and i think that once we get beyond the talk of what >> minister said what in the cabinet, i think that this is a watershed moment. iran came out of the shadows and for the
6:51 am
first time, didn't use the convenience and the deniability of any of its many proxies that they have built very well and very cleverly around israel over the years. and they actually came out and fought. and i think that is well, in the basic laws of warfare, if you're attacked, you need to retaliate otherwise, you invite additional attacks so i think it is a significant moment. i think that the iranians were very much aware of what would follow, what would happen afterwards. and if they attack from uranian soil, the nasal will be forced to or attempted to retaliate on iranian soil. and i think that the most important thing is, okay, what does israel if you want to achieve what is the strategy here? do we want to just respond any knee-jerk fashion against iranian targets? we can hit many targets. we can really make them feel the pain and our strike would be much more effective than their attempt or do we have a plan? do we want to curtail their regional
6:52 am
terrorist attack? activities that they have been doing very successfully for the last 30 or 40 years or does this will want to take the opportunity yeah. and address the nuclear prprogram. >> interesting, jonathan barack, thanks so much. really appreciate your time. we'll be right back. >> there thon nice to meet you. >> i'm >> running boston to make sure childbirth is safe for almonds every anywhere i'm one of thousands of runners running to beat things bigger than the clock. to help more kids outrun cancer, help amputees walking again and maybe even run thousands of runners, thousands of reasons to run find a runner, help a cause if you can, you want to close out >> should i normally, i'd hold but taking the gains is smart here right? >> feel more competent. what's doc ratings from jpmorgan analysts in the chase app, when
