11:00 pm
oh, we know. we just like making a scene. transferring your services has never been easier. get connected on the day of your move with the xfinity app. can i sleep over at your new place? can katie sleep over tonight? sure, honey! this generation is so dramatic! move with xfinity. in brynn, for certain, how would really happen sunday, april 28 at nine on cnn this is cnn breaking news hello, i'm john von, also cnn's breaking news coverage of israel's counter strike on iran. it's 2:00 a.m. friday here in atlanta night i am in jerusalem and 9:30 a.m. and is ferhat around well, today's are deliberation and despite overwhelming international pressure to stand down, us official tells cnn, israel has carried out a military strike on iran. apparently retaliation for unprecedented already in missile attack, just over a week ago at least three
11:01 pm
explosions have been reported, not far from a military airbase in the province of isfahan and central around according to iran's fars news agency defense systems on the base where activated in response to what may have been a drone attack targeting the basis radar, the city of this hand is believed to be home to around illicit nuclear weapons program as well as the country's biggest nuclear research facility, which operates three small chinese supplied research reactors or flights to its for hand tehran entrez have been, have resumed rather are doing suspended for several hours according to a spokesperson for around airports, one us official confirmed to cnn and israeli strike inside around adding the target was not nuclear and israel informed the white house on thursday and attack was just days away. ready officials say air defense systems in several regions were activated and the explosions heard& isfahan were outgoing fire from those air defenses well, for the very latest, cnn's nic robertson are standing by live in jerusalem, but we're going first to cnn's paula hancocks in beirut important for days tehran has been warning of an instance
11:02 pm
severe response to even the slightest israeli attack. but now it seems that may not happen. what's the latest? >> well, john we certainly been hearing certain torque from matt from the uranian sayyed. i mean, just a, few hours ago on cnn, the iranian foreign minister saying that if there is an israeli response so if they do target assets in iran, then there would be a response that it would be immediate and at a maximum level saying it a little be decisive. and this is really the message that we have been hearing over recent today's be heard it from president raisi as well, saying that if there was an attack on iranian assets than it would be a more severe reaction than what we saw last saturday that unprecedented attack from iran with over 300 drones and missiles launched at israeli territory so if you take it at face value i mean, we certainly have heard to her and say there will be a significant response
11:03 pm
but what we're also seeing from state media, from semi official state media in iran is that they're almost downplaying what has happened. they are saying there has been no grand explosion. they're saying that the nuclear facilities are completely secure. the very no impact on the ground so potentially laying the groundwork for this to be something acceptable for tehran. so that's really the question when you ask what's coming next from tehran, it's we have to try and figure out what tehran is able to live with. now they say that what they did, that unprecedented into the attack last weekend, saturday into sunday morning. that was in response to an attack on its diplomatic compound in damascus. and they said fairly quickly afterwards, in fact, as the attack was still on i'm going, the matter is concluded. they wanted to respond. and as far as they were concerned, and that was it. now, of course, that wasn't the case for israel. they didn't feel that they
11:04 pm
could leave that so dented attack. an answered the question now is whether or not iran will feel that this was a low level enough attack or strike from israel that they are able to not necessarily ignore it, but not feel the need to retaliate a pulse. it is still early days. we don't know exactly what was hit if anything was hit, what for target was and potentially we will hear more about that in the hours ahead. john paul, stay with us. let's go to the nic robertson in jerusalem for a moment. nick, is there anywhere from the israelis on precisely what they hit? what do we know about the attack and the fact that it was limited and what are they saying about any possible iranian response? >> no details from the israelis. what we have on the attack is defined by what we're hearing and seeing on iranian state me pedia and other iranian media media, what i'm hearing from a regional intelligence source, who will be close to the thing king of
11:05 pm
what the iranians are likely to do the takeaway of the moment is that this is below the threshold around requirement to respond despite what we've heard them say publicly. and this would seem to indicate that the pressure should it has been put on prime minister benjamin netanyahu by president biden and others. we heard from the british foreign secretary, the german foreign secretary here this week that they didn't want israel to escalate the situation, although the british foreign secretary saying he did understand that israel would respond and prime minister here it said, clearly that israel would do what it sees fit i think the situation we're in at the moment and the best read we have reading between the lines of how iran has played this through the whole night and what i'm hearing from, from a well-placed source who would
11:06 pm
understand situation that at the moment caveats, of course things may change israel made decided it's got another volley to go, though that seems unlikely. it does seem that that this current escalation between israel and iran may be this bit of it. on a pause that said let's not forget that iran's proxy hezbollah is just to the north in lebanon. and that has been recently for many months, but recently has been the real uptake across that border in terms of fire and many israeli soldiers injured just this week, that border, i think we'll perhaps come ten you to be as active, maybe not quite as active as the past couple of days so the difference between israel and iran, and not gone away. but this escalation that may be on hold reprieved on a resolution, i guess so, but nick, is there any indication why israeli
11:07 pm
showed a restraint was limited strike by all accounts. give me that on wednesday, netanyahu said to the european leaders who were there, thanks for the advice, but no thanks. we'll do what we have to do. >> there's pressure been put on israel. we know that when president biden called up prime minister netanyahu, just over two-and-a-half weeks ago when several a member members of the world central kitchen were killed in an israeli in a number of israeli drone strikes inside of gaza as they were trying to deliver food that pressure was actually had a result. the israeli started putting more aid into gaza. they opened a crossing into northern gaza. now, there's a long way to go on that, but it shows that us pressure pain he's off to a degree and i think that pressure it seems as we understand, as exerted by the, by the white house on this, on prime minister netanyahu, not to escalate quite clearly, president biden publicly saying that he was not the united states was not going to take part in offensive
11:08 pm
action against against iran there's some context that put here israel misjudged iran's response to the strike on the consulate in damascus they didn't think that they were crossing a red headline. iran thought they did cross a red line. and i asked a former very senior intelligence official here why he thought that iran had decided to respond and his assessment and this was backed up by a conversations i've had with the same former senior official earlier this year was that iran, a previously had been afraid of a us and israeli response on iranian territory if they strike directly inside of, inside of israel. now, the perception seems to be from iran that they see a weakness, a pressure& a gap between president biden and prime minister netanyahu and the internal political pressures on prime minister netanyahu
11:09 pm
because of the way that is fighting the fight in gaza at the moment, because so many palestinians are being killed and the sensors that iran fell hope that it could exploit this weakness of the prime minister so the question was always going to be, could the prime minister actually judge engage iran's new red lines? correctly? maybe today we're looking at a picture where he has, but the dynamic in the region and the reader, the red lines for both sides has changed, has changed because prime minister netanyahu is perceived as being weaker slowly, he needs us support as we saw at the weekend to defend the country against iran strikes. >> nick, thank you back now to paula in beirut very quickly. what do we know about this target that the israelis apparently may have attacked? it's for hannah is home to the nuclear complex research center, as well as intense nuclear reactor. so this is the very heart of around elicit nuclear program. and yet the american say the target was not nuclear that's right, that's what can has been told by a us
11:10 pm
officials that it wasn't a nuclear target, did appears. it may have been rionda, an army base. we're hearing that from from the iranian state media side. now there is some speculation that this could be proof that israel can reach that particular area. a very sensitive area for iran if need be. now this would play into the narrative of whether this it was more just demonstrative than trying to destroy something that just a show of power that israel is able to reach deep into a rainy and territory and of course, there's been this shadow war over years, decades between israel and iran. there have been suspected israeli strikes on it individuals certainly the the nucleus scientists that have been assassinations, there have been sabotaged facilities, none of which israel has admitted to, but iran has a use them all. so this is really the first time that we are seeing this more direct response from
11:11 pm
israel, which is in keeping with what we saw from a ram, the direct territory to territory attack. so potentially, it wasn't it wasn't too destroy something. we had a us official telling cnn as well that they thought it was possible that israel would try and carry out an attack and make sure they were no casualties but just more fought for show to show that they can re-establish the sense of the text hello, thank you. pull the hancocks life for us in beirut and also nic robertson lifers in jerusalem. this out, thanks to you both could now lot to tehran and abbas has lani, a journalist and senior research fellow at the center for middle east strategic studies. as i think he's being with us thank you, john, for having me. >> it's a pleasure now how i just from your point of view, how's this story being reported then given the government's tight control over the media, is that indicative of where the government actually stands right now in trying to play
11:12 pm
down this story well, john, what we've been hearing here in iranian cities or capital is that there has not been a significant, or at least any foreign meaning is really strike against iranian targets and what has been said so far is that some an unidentified flying objects or small towns have been intercepted by iran different system and in iran, the feeling is that israel is trying to save face by exerting a media campaign pain, or psychological operation against iran in a way that to avoid an escalation. >> and this could be maybe a paved the way out of this escalatory situation in order to put an end to this tit-for-tat process. >> in recent days. so the early leaders have warned that any israeli attack would trigger a swift and severe yet response are very public about that, saying it almost every day all amping up the rhetoric almost
11:13 pm
every day how do they walk that back now it doesn't seem to be worked back now because there has been no confirmation of this attacks so far. >> and it seems that this is somehow similar to sabotage acts in the past us that israelis have been trying to do, again, some iranian targets. and now they're saying that they have been able to intercept some flying objects on the sky. but what is important for iran is to maintain that deterrence equation because you run in terms of the scale of its retaliatory operation against israel used hundreds of missiles and drones. and this is somehow comparable to what, even if there was a limited action today with the friday mornings incident so this doesn't seem to be changing that balance and this is quite important for you on but this somehow is interpreted in
11:14 pm
tehran as israel trying to save face. but not to engage in an insignificant direct conflict with iran. >> yeah, that's the point because us intelligence and others have been warning while now, anybody indicating that a random not want a war with israel, although it was okay with escalating and just wanted to stay away from a direct confrontation. so in many ways, is a sense of relief in tehran that they'll give them this off-ramp by the israelis while in the past days, we have been seeing that the ron trying to have a turning point in its engagement with israel for the first time, it tried to directly act against israeli targets. >> but there was a chance that this might provoke a response from israeli sayyed. but i think if there is no clear and visible or significant if this strike was not on the israeli sayyed, this cannot change that equation for me, renin perspective so that's important
11:15 pm
for iran to stop any, let's say significance strike against. he ran an interest in the region so by the time that this is in place, i think we might be see a way out of this relation. >> but we have to wait again for more updates in the coming hours or days and it's a bit early to judge that if it's over or not, but the moment that we are speaking, i think it doesn't seem to be a rich, a regional war emerging, but however, even little, the chances are there yet in the grand scheme of things, it's often difficult to gauge a public opinion but is this a conflict which is driven by the hardliners and the elites within the government who won much tougher stance on israel some of the general public opinion on all of this, it seems far more concerned about the economy and us sanctions and wanting a better life john, when it comes to external
11:16 pm
pressure or rats, or even when its military threat it is mostly the case that brings people rally, rally around the flag and that was a kind of let see, mostly a national pride for iran to respond to israel the operation which happened few days ago, whether they liked the government policies or not. but when it comes to the security issue, many people would support that because they think that this can work as a determines preventing further israeli attacks in features sometimes that if yvonne didn't respond sooner or later, maybe in future, there would be there could be war but they could see this somehow stopping that process that's why they somehow supported that response. and also that's the matter of the national pride and whether they are reformed missile conservatives critical support of the government because that's the issue of the
11:17 pm
security they have been mostly supportive of iran's action against israel bustos lonnie in tehran. >> we appreciate you being with us, so thank you. >> thank you, john for having me on. >> you're welcome. take care much more ahead, including regional reaction and impact on oil prices. what morehead stay with us there's new ally in the fight against climate change. this is new car is blue carbon we just need to protect. nature will do the rest. >> blue carbon plus cnn fill sunday at nine you know, i spent a lot of time thinking about der at three in the morning and he what people don't know is that not all der is the same. you need dirt with the right kind of nutrients. look at this new organic soil from miracle grow. >> everybody should have it, it worked great for us. >> this is as good as gold in any garden. >> if people only knew that it really is about the dirt, your

11:22 pm
reports of explosions in iran's oil prices surging nearly 4% with us oil prices climbing above $85 a barrel. prices then recovered slightly right now, brent crude, the world benchmark is what, $88.58 sets up by just over 1.5%. well, wti crude is at $3.53 up by one and three-quarter percent. then we go meet either use drove us psaki just lower with the dow futures thinking 480 points. that we are currently it's at down just by half a percent. nasdaq futures down by almost 1%. and if we look at the sp 500 futures down by just over half a 1% live now, it's able turkey sealants got mcclain standing by for regional reaction there, i guess. what is the reaction there is sort of a sense of relief at the moment yeah, perhaps that's the case. >> it's interesting looking at those market numbers you just showed there, john obviously, markets don't like any kind of uncertainty and either do countries in this region, you
11:23 pm
have many countries struggling with their economies. you have inflation surging in places like what has been for some time lebanon in egypt here and turkey also struggling with it and it's very difficult to get any kind of foreign investment to remedy that situation when the world looks at your region as this tender box of volatility. and that is why we have been seeing messages over the last almost three weeks now, calling on the israelis and the iranians to turn down the temperature and take a breath here before deciding on your next move. because none of this is in any of the interests of any of the countries in this region, you have many he dividing lines in the middle east, of course, but most of the countries here seem to be pretty united on the fact that they don't want to see any kind of escalation or any kind of regional war getting out of hand because since the war began in gaza on october the seventh you have already seen an inflamed situation in iraq and syria this proxy war between the iranians and the
11:24 pm
israelis playing out largely there you've seen us strikes on the houthis in yemen. you've seen it attacks on shipping in the red sea. you've been seeing a back-and-forth between hezbollah in the israelis across the israeli lebanon border. the list goes on. and so no one wants to see this gets even worse than it already is. and so you've seen this flurry of diplomatic activity over the past few weeks. first, it was urging the iranians not to strike back against the israelis than it was urging the israelis and the west not to strike back against the iranians and at the moment though john, you can hear a pin drop in the middle east because it seems like no one is eager to comment done this until we have all the facts and we know precisely what happened. obviously, the two players here that we're waiting to hear from most directly are the israelis and the iranians hoping that perhaps there's not gonna be a further escalation because obviously the iranians
11:25 pm
had warned very clearly in the time leading up to this that if the israelis were to do nothing, that this was all over. but if the israelis were to strike iranian territory, that the response would be even bigger. and so many people are holding their breath hoping that that is not the case in dade, scott. >> thank you. so mcclain, live for us in assemble but she'll break coming up back more about breaking use explosions in iran. tensions are still high, waiting for some kind of racial transfer ran. will that happen we can see it coming up out for short break, stay with us he

11:27 pm
specialist and i'm glad he did because when i took the tabletop tests, i couldn't lay my hand flat anymore. >> the first-hand specialist i saw only offered surgery, so i went to a secondhand specialists to also often for non-surgical options which felt more right for me. so what i'd say to other people with do patreons contractures, this don't find a hand specialist trained and non-surgical options today, i found mine at find a hand specialist.com for gentle, dependable, constipation. really try seneca. it works differently than other laxatives because it's made from the center flat a natural vegetable active ingredient gentle, dependable, seneca, also available in delicious gummies i'm getting vaccinated and pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia already gotten pneumonia vaccine. but i'm asking about the added protection of credit, not 20 if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like
11:28 pm
asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for macaque on pneumonia, prevnar 20 is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia in just one dose, don't get prevnar 20 if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients, adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection since muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. >> i want to be able to keep my plans i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose path. now asked me, doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia. >> or pharmacy has been in business for nearly 100 years. a wife and i have run it for the last 30 american technology is making this more efficient and customer-friendly. we use online tools to fill prescriptions, process insurance claims, and mike deliveries. but some and why she want to undermine the technology tools we rely on. their misguided agenda. will
11:29 pm
empower our foreign adversaries and hurt small businesses like ours leaders her uncle's unhappy. i'm sensing an underlying issue. it's t-mobile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity.
11:30 pm
their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. your business easily with freelancers, fiber 2024 stanley cup play. again, april 20 wherever you are around the world, you're watching cnn's breaking news coverage of israel's strike on iran. >> welcome back everyone. i'm john paul's in atlanta. here's what we know at this hour senior us officials as israel has carried out a strike inside iran, where it's now 10:00 a.m. runs files. news agency says three explosions heard near an army airbase in israel hand province. the us official said the target was not nuclear, although the explosions did happen near a major nuclear facility. the nuclear watchdog has since confirmed there is no damage to iran's nuclear sites. were israel warned us on thursday that it would be retaliating
11:31 pm
against iran within days. that's after iran wants a barrage of missiles on israel last weekend for the first time, directly from a runny territory that came after a suspected israeli attack on an iranian consulate in syria well, i've now to beirut and mahayana, av director of the ag middle east center. thank you for being with us. >> good morning, john. thank you for having me. >> i'm wondering if you'd tell us here that the israelis, they made it clear there would be a military response. but did you expect it to be one that was gonna be limited and targeted like this? >> it wasn't, clear what they were going to do, but it was clear that there was tremendous pressure on israel not to escalate things further. let's remember that this began with an israeli strike against the rami and consulate in damascus yes iran strike for all light and light show did not really cause any kind of significant damage. it was more a lot more
11:32 pm
about posturing and sending passengers. that daughter was now ready to up the ante and the attack israel directly from iran rather than through its proxies so there's been a lot of pressure by the united states and countries around the world on israel not to retaliate& a way that would escalate things further because we are at the precipice of an all-out war and the region which will not be limited to the region, it will drag everyone else send including the united states was it purely in your opinion, just the pressure from the united states on israel to show restraint? >> in the fact that this was a limited strike, or is it possible that israel didn't have the firepower or the capability to carry out a successful attack on arouse ucla facilities without the assistance of the us no i think they do have the capacity to do that, but if they do that, then we're getting into it for tat and their israel does not have the capacity so an all-out war
11:33 pm
a long-term all-out war without external support. i mean that, that, that is very clear. it would need the commitment from the united states to continue providing arm it relies on the united states and other western powers on a number of military fronts. >> so, yeah, i mean, it does have the power to conduct specific strikes but really the message from the international community today, as you don't have the right to drag us and to an all-out conflict i think it's kind of put a deterrence on the gate the rules of engagement of engagement between iran and israel have changed and the risk of escalation is always there. >> but for now deterrence is back in place to some extent. >> that is the question is just a reprieve or could this be the start of some kind of wider push for de-escalation in a
11:34 pm
much wider sense for now it is a reprieve, but i think everybody now understands that we're in a different you know, we're in a different space at this point what was difficult to imagine prior to the israeli strike against the consulate in damascus i, iran and israel targeting each other directly now is very much part of the new scene and the region so i think there is a reprieve for now especially since it seems that iran is downplaying the incident. >> there are reports that the drones came out of iran itself and not from our inside of iran but i think there needs to be and everybody understands this, there needs to be a much broader de-escalation in the region, which begins with gaza, but also ends with the relationship between iran and israel.
11:35 pm
>> yeah, that's point. the gaza war is still continuing. it seems we on hold for a time, but it's not over yet. and it seems that the un security council, the united states, had a big opportunity here to really bring down tensions within the region. and they sent me blinken, the secretary state on multiple diplomatic missions over there and he said has not had a lot of success if the united states at the security council had approved the palestinian application for full membership, and then it goes to the general assembly for a vote could that have gone on long way to de-escalating tensions in the region that definitely would have gone a long way to a placating placating people across the region and far beyond who are cleanly angry and actually the outraged at the carnage that is ongoing. and gazan, we have famine when i don't need to cite all the, all the figures in gaza, there's a lot of outrage that to the placated some that outrage, but it's not enough. but what the total is done politically is to set that any political negotiation
11:36 pm
moving forward after gaza has to have two-state solution at the end of it by removing that and that is a demand by not just the palestinians and other arab countries, but the united states itself as being now asking for a two-state solution that really would have made the ultimate game. >> the ultimate goal. the us now is gone back to saying, no these the final status has to be negotiated between the palestinians and israelis. so basically going back to denying, in a sense palestinians their right to self-determination and to stay to know how you could actually much for being with us. we really appreciate your time and your insights. thank you sure. >> thank you who take a break when they got back the attacks on around com. >> as g7 foreign ministers are wrapping up three days of meetings in italy, we are live in rome with the very latest on their response news night with

back here latest on our breaking news, a us official confirms israel has carried out a military strike inside iran. >> cyberspace authorities in iran say three drones were successfully shutdown. state media reported explosion today is for him already in state media report, the situation in the city is normal. the nuclear facility is completely secure, ready, and airspace has now reopened after flights to and from major cities were suspended, the attack follows iran's unprecedented missile and drone strike on israel less than a week ago with this. now from cameras, australian army major general mc ryan former commander of australia's defense college, and veteran of tours and east timor, iraq, and afghanistan. could have you with us major major general, i should say we just say again. thank you, general so probably you will have your assessment on this israeli strike. wasn't in that goldilocks range, just enough for deterrence, but not enough to escalate the conflict well, it appears that might have achieved that goldilocks
11:42 pm
range, although it's very difficult sometimes when one country thinks it's sending a signal and berserk, it tasted far more seriously. >> but at this point in time, even though we don't know all the details, iranians, appear to be playing down the attacks rather than beating the drums for follow-up responses i said story was breaking. >> there were reports of israeli airstrike on an early warning radar site in southern syria what's the connection there with its attack on around well, this may well have been declared a way or clear the ear space for whatever these riley sent through that is face, whether it's crude or uncrewed systems. >> we don't know exactly what that is. this is more a signal to array1. firstly, about israel rheostat publishing deterrence, but secondly, if it really wanted to, it could conduct a range of different strikes within around itself. >> that's the question because i've seen conflicting reports, we can typically conflicting analysis over these wells capability here when it comes to the iranian nuclear facilities, some reports say they are very so far deep
11:43 pm
underground that the irradiate that the israelis can't reach them with other row, they need support from the united states for a number of reasons, but that being one of them before they can carry out a successful strike. other say they can't actually do it on their own how do you see it? >> well, these riley's have certainly been rehearsing long-range strikes over the mediterranean for some years now. so they probably have the rich to do this, whether they had the weapons to penetrate into the facility is another thing and it might well not be arial delivered weapons and finish this off. it could well be that they use humans or uncrewed systems to penetrate into the nuclear facilities i guess ultimately what happens next here is up to the melas and elites in tehran& the reports on already state media certainly indicate that they're willing to play this down and then they're looking to de-escalate. >> is that a reprieve or sort of a much longer situation here in terms of de-escalation well, i think both sides are taking a breath. i think the iranians
11:44 pm
have realized that it's more difficult than they imagined penetrate israeli air space if we're going to attack it over 300 drones and missiles were shot down by the israelis, the us, and they partners so they will be looking at that strike thinking, well, maybe we need to change our tactics if we're going to do this again. and at the same time, the israelis probably want to focus on hezbollah and hamas at this point in time. >> yeah, i guess one of the key factors here though, was the us saying publicly that it would not take part in any israeli struggled khader strike on. iran was other defining factor here with other things at play, perhaps well, i think it was certainly a major influence for the israelis, but at the end of the day, they always make decisions in national interests and this notion of reestablishing deterrence is a very important one in their defense and strategic doctrine overall, given what we've heard about hezbollah, one of the proxies, one over its proxy. so just to the north of israel in lebanon, as also houthis. but i guess hezbollah is the big question here. it seems that
11:45 pm
they're quiet for the moment. and if they say quiet, that would be an indication what we are in this period of maybe de-escalation for a time well, it'd be nice to think we are in a period of de-escalation, but his velar and israel have been skirmishes along the border ever since the october hezbollah will wait for an opportune time to strike israel or maybe not now, but they certainly have vowed to destroy israel so what i will need to be honest guard on its northern border. so in other words, so overstate what's happened. we're still in a war, essentially a proxy war of all the direct war, if you like the war is not over here. >> israel was surrounded by arena far as it describes itself, there is a war going on in the middle east. we just seen a lower tempo phase of it at this point in time. >> generally, ghraieb. thank you. so appreciate your time thanks, john well, the last few days, foreign ministers from the g7 had been meeting in capri, italy discussing action against iran over its weekend missile attack on israel so life now to rome, cnn to bobby
11:46 pm
the dose. so that'll be now that we've had this callous right by israel and apparently no response at least for now by the iranians. how does that change the conversation? there might the g7 leaders well, you can bet that's the top of the agenda this morning, they've just sat down for their final roundtable meeting and we're expecting about three hours time the final press com conference led by italian foreign minister antonio tajani. >> and then we're supposed to be hearing from anthony blinken, the us secretary of state. so i think we'll have a better understanding. about what they're talking about. they discussed yesterday ways to urge israel. some restraint and it's it's right now, i'm sure the topic of conversation, whether they see this attack as that restraint if it could have been something different, this was sort of a downplay of that, but there are so many other items on the agenda that they've got to get through these next and last three hours, which includes the humanitarian crisis in gaza, which includes sanctions targeted sanctions on iran, and obviously back to ukraine, you know, we had a big focus
11:47 pm
yesterday on ukraine with antony blinken meeting with ukrainian foreign minister who was a special guests there. so they're really, really have a lot to discuss all of this, of course, leading the way to the larger g7 meeting, which will be held in the southern region of pula with president biden and the other leaders of the g7 nations in mid-june. and the scenario could change a lot before then, john, i guess all comes out to sanctions at least with the g7 is concerned, you have the foreign ministers, there speaking capri the us president, was very adamant earlier in the week, he said that he would be working with allies as well as the g7 for another route to sanctions on ran. >> is that maybe now on hold at least for a time well, i think one of the big issues is that many of these g7 countries outside of the united states do have relationships with iran. >> and so they want more targeted sanctions. they don't all agree on the language and that yesterday was the topic of conversation was the length which around these sanctions, what they're gonna do, how they're going to do it, if it's just going to be to sanction those who who make the

drones, for example, that's something that had been discussed today though that's probably not going to be the topic of conversation. the high the top of the agenda. it's really hard to see exactly what they are, what their priorities you're going to be until they come out now that meeting in about 2.5, three hours time, john will talk to you then i'll be right. >> thank you foreign financial assistance for israel will be on the agenda view as house lawmakers saturday, that's when they set to vote on a number of bills foreign aid, including for israel, ukraine, and us allies in the pacific the source told cnn if the bill's go through, the senate will probably approve the bill by the middle of next week. hello, cillian presidency has condemned united states or vetoing palestine speed for full membership in the united nations. described the veto is quote, unfair, immoral, and unjustified also, called out the us where it's contradictory policy which claims to support a two-state solution will, on the other hand, using its veto against palestine israel's foreign
