>> a fox news alert, we are learning israel launched a retaliatory strike against iran overnight. so far no comment from tel aviv but we know the nuclear facilities are secure. you are watching "fox & friends first" on this friday morning, i am carley shimkus. >> i am todd piro we have not seen from the biden administration but the source was notified before the strike was not involved. standing by and washington with more on that, jim hansen on deck with expert analysis, but we can with jeff paul live in tel aviv. >> good morning, there's been a lot of building tension over the last couple of days, as many wondered how israel would respond to iran's past week and unprecedented attack. many people didn't know when this would happen and what it would look like in his first yesterday some people thought it would not happen until well after upcoming passover holiday. but we now know israel is responding to iran with specific

and targeted strikes spirit hitting the area of the central reason in iran roughly 200 miles away from the iranian capital of tehran. this is significant because located close to the capital but also near the nuclear facility. that site as we showed was not hit or affected. the strike though appeared to target the nearby iranian airbase. it shows israel has the capabilities to hit these very important sites when it wants. that is partly the message that israeli is trying to send out. they have that reported as far as iran goes as sort of damage or impact the state media's downplaying this. the only comments we heard from iran's explosions were heard and caused by iran's air defense system. but zero comments from israeli official, government official or military spokesperson in terms

of retaliatory strike in iran. the u.s. embassy though in tel aviv and israel we should mention has given a warning to americans who live in some of these major cities in israel to limit their travel at least for the day while they assess the situation. back to you. >> todd: jeff paul live in tel aviv, the latest from d.c. >> good morning, carley and todd, no comment from the white house just yet but we know what the posture is been. the u.s. has been working to de-escalate the situation in the middle east after last week's attack by iran again israel. speaking with g7 leaders and other allies in the region. and cautions's role in the response they might conduct a. the west told israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu they would not anticipate counter offense against iran but the u.s. maintains the defense is ironclad appeared here cia

director bill burns speaking about the commitment laid out in full display last week in. >> iranians fired off 330 drones and missiles combined and two dozen spectacular failure for them and of 330 missiles, only four or five actually impacted israel and undid in any significant damage. >> the government source tells fox, u.s. was not involved in israel strike with iran overnight. but the u.s. was given a heads up here this is a big shift after defense secretary lloyd austin told his counterpart the u.s. wanted to be notified if there if israel had a response. the frustrations via media reports the u.s. was not given advance mode the strike on the iran embassy compound in syria earlier this month. later on, president biden will have an event speaking with union workers and we will see if he has any comment on the incident that happened overnight. >> carley: thank you so much.

let's bring in jim hansen who served as u.s., in the u.s. army forces and the middle east forum chief editor. jim, good morning to you. what is the message israel wanted to send with the strike inside of iran? >> happy birthday, ayatollah. i think they basically pointed out that they can hit any place or anything or anyone that they want to in iran, which is particularly embarrassing after iran launches a massive barrage, which israel emperor and them like flies. so, i think it shows basically that did not have to do more and they won the first round by defeating iran's attack and now they are showing they can spike the football in the end zone and tell iran, we are not going to do that. they also pointed out a very nice new program we have got there and it would be a shame if anything happened to it.

all of those were designed to remind iran israel has the upper hand. it's been with the question becomes does iran respond and ie off-ramp that both sides wanted and it's over from here. >> i would be highly surprised if it is over. i don't think iran will respond directly. i think there is a good chance they will go back to proxy warfare and go ahead and have the booth ease, hezbollah, the militias and other folks who fund, pay and puppet string conl do something not-too-distant futuri think they will wait a few days because they don't want to poke the israelis too much and get a full taste of that and lose some of the very important equipment and other things that israel has shown they can take out whenever they want. >> carley: nuclear is in nuclear power in iran is not. and there is a bonus fact that iran for turned on its air

defense systems, can you explain that? >> in a situation where you start to be infiltrated by enemy aircraft that will cause a reaction along interconnected systems that iran has to tried to protect themselves. israel almost certainly had reconnaissance aircraft or electronic intelligence aircraft up to go ahead and map those responses and be able to see what iran actually does when they are under attack. now, when that comes around again, they will know exactly where the goals are and go straight for potentially those nuclear targets we are always wondering they will take out. >> todd: that is such a great point. the west did not green light to the strike that they were given a heads up. what is the significance of that to you, jim? >> i think at some level, the biden administration the biden administration had to say, "we don't want you to do this publicly." but there was never really a

whole lot of doubt that the israelis were not going to take that kind of an attack and do nothing. so, i think this was a great reading of the needle that allows biden to save face and benjamin netanyahu to let the israeli people know they will not be attacked without some retribution. and now iran is in a position where they can pretend this didn't actually happen. they actually claimed they shutdown something, which might have been one of those israeli spy birds they were talking about before. i don't think they actually got any of the aircraft. >> carley: jim, what do you think about iran's capability overall? you never want to underestimate your enemy but at the same time saturday, half of the ballistic missiles crashed or failed to miss the target. what are your thoughts on that? >> it is embarrassing. they pretend to and they postured and puffed up like there is some major military force. i think when you finally decide to make it an attack on a country you have been calling the little satan for so long and

you managed to hit nothing? most of your stuff doesn't work. the rest gets shot down. that is pretty bad for your ability to project a power for anyone else in the region. so, i think they will probably go back to what they are actually better at which is asymmetric warfare, using smaller use smaller units, smaller terrorism, smaller proxies. that is something much harder to defend against. they are not a match for israel in any kind of force on a forced battle. >> todd: to the average american watching over the last week in the middle east, it is somewhat confusing in the sense when we look at our history, military history, there was somebody that we want to attack, we attack them with a full force of the united states army. in another sense, you have a situation iran is giving you as much knee time before we attack you, israel, and israel in this situation knowing full well it could destroy everything it wanted to in iran but being

strategic to send this message. obviously, that gives off a sense, there is something else going on behind the scenes and we have heard that repeated oil over the last couple of hours since the strikes began. what do you think is happening behind the scenes and israel and iran talking through this to avoid broader regional conflict? what other countries are involved in those discussions? >> i think the usual suspects are all involved in talking about this. everybody's eyes are on this because of the fact this could escalate into a conflict that blows up well beyond just the region. so, it has implications for global commerce and shipping. there is a lot of things playing out there, but i think between the two coming neither one of those countries once a major war right now. it is to neither's advantage. i think there is an element of this is one of those duels where you are going to draw blood and protect your honor, but you don't want to go and stick a stiletto between the ribs right

now. and not to say that couldn't happen in the future because we are dealing with irrational set of actors in iran. not normally motivated. so, i think we have to watch that, but i hang bill might think there is the ability to put this back on a lower level of burden. >> carley: you pointed out in order to reach iran, jim, go through jordan, saudi arabia, iraq he airspace. that means those countries might have signed off on this strike. do you think that actually happen and if so, what is the significance of that. >> i think if we looked back to the trump administration when it when ibrahim accords were being signed and all of the states were considering and some did sign some agreements with israel that basically were based on the idea that iran was a bigr threat than israel was and now, we are seeing again, the

idea that iran is the real existential danger in the region if they become a nuclear power and is the main instigator and orchestrator up all of the chaos happening right now. all of their puppets, the houthis and the militia doing this at their bidding. so i think now we are in a situation where there is a possibility to go ahead and rebuild a coalition that says, "let's focus on iran, and maybe it is time for the mullahs to leave the stage." >> todd: what do you expect to see on the streets of iran today? as we discussed over the course of the last week, when you say iran and use the connotation it is a military context, you are not talking about the people of iran but the mullahs, the leaders like you mentioned. so we definitely got a sense the people of iran don't necessarily support attacking israel because they don't want to be attacked by israel in response. what do you expect to see on the streets of iran today? >> i think the timing is perfect

for the people of iran to assert their rights and say the islamic republic is no longer the proper government for iran. we don't want to be a nihilistic theocracy. we would like to rejoin the community of nations, and we would like the rest of the world to say, "it is time for a change of government in iran, not direct intervention or military force, but perhaps a call of revolution." perhaps it is time to push the molas asid and show with civic forest. it is a complicated thing but graffiti it and a lot more pushback saying it is time to change the ruling powers in that country and give the people some freedom. >> carley: jim, yesterday the u.s. and israel held high-level meetings about possible israeli operation in the second such meeting in recent weeks and apparently the idf is suggesting

a gradual slow operation and specific neighborhoods that will be evacuated in advance rather than all else impatient of the entire city. what do you think about that and where is israel and the war against hamas right now? >> >> i think the problem israel has had is they were highly successful propaganda campaign claiming in positive. and i think people need to realize that the combat intent to the ratio for idf operation in gaza is lower than the u.s. military combatant of civilian ratio in iraq when we were there. it is a tremendous job of saving civilians, and the outcome there was pressure from everywhere telling them to stop because there is a and everyone is dying. that has slowed their ability to actually finish hamas. if they say they can do this in a targeted way and rafah, great.

but i think they should go as far and as hard as a need to, and i think they are restraint in the strike gives them some leverage with the biden administration as far as what they can actually do. >> todd: jim hansen, amazing analysis. we appreciate you kicking up 4:00 a.m. east coast hour, thank you, sir. we are covering the developments out of the middle east as israel strike iran. >> carley: rebekah grant, robert charles will all be here on this breaking news addition of "fox & friends first."

♪ ♪ >> todd: a fox news alert, u.s. sources israel hit iran with retaliatory strike in response to tehran's response over the weekend. the agency said none of iran facilities damaged hours after iran threatened to deviate from its nuclear policy. dr. rebekah grant a national security and military analysts, and she joins me now pure doctor, great to have you on consequential morning in your initial assessment of the strike. >> i think it was important for israel to strike back. it looks to me like they have been very careful in their choice of targets. we don't really have any official details yet, but a

major military base ironically where old f-14's fly out of the puritan also components, nuclear processing facilities near there so israel appears to have chosen proportionate military targets. and they have sent the message to iran, "don't mess with israel." >> todd: help us with more than a chest match. it is consequential to mention if each of these parties wanted to really inflict damage on the other, they would have done something different i'll be at israel did a great job over the weekend of shooting down a ransom of missiles and the like. let's face it if israel wanted to light up iran, it would be a lot more than last night so your thoughts on the chess match between the two sides. >> yes, that is right but the strikes took place overnight so when nighttime strike is designed to minimize any

civilian or other casualties, also, we know israel's war cabinet meeting intensively. they met yesterday to authorize the strikes. as you said to commit instead of seeing a random campaign across, we are looking most likely at strikes on very specific military targets. also, that tells us israel has been able to penetrate arends air defenses, no surprise there. we knew that would happen in the other thing too, we believe there is a drone production facility near esfahan. so that turns out to have been one of the targets come with that is a clear message from israel saying to iran, "we will not tolerate these drones." they have been very careful, very precise, very powerful in the strikes carried out again iran. it is, however, historic and don't forget and this chess match, there is another player and that is china. >> todd: let's extrapolate on that.

how does china play into what we saw last night? we know china and iran have formed along with some other countries, this new axis of evil. about specifically with regard to what we saw last night and what we saw earlier in the week when iran attacked israel, how does china play into all of that either from our minute perspective or response perspective? >> it is a diplomatic peace and china came out a couple of days ago and said, we are deeply concerned, which i translate to, we don't care one little bit. china bought all of iran's oil and china is really part of the reason, the main reason economically that iran's regime can stay in power. all of the signals out of beijing led to, we don't mind the military strike that iran carried out on israel, even though the state department asked beijing directly to trade to put pressure on iran.

so that tells me the iran/china partnership, which includes and dates back to 2016 is still going strong. so that tells me iran won't suffer economic consequences from its biggest customer, china for carrying this out. of course, as you know iran has a $1 billion deal with russia to manufacture drones for use against ukraine. and that russia/iran partnership will continue as well. iran wants to buy more russian and more sophisticated air defenses. it would not surprise to see russia/iran arm still to continue to accelerate. so with russia and china really enabling and making it tougher to give iran more leeway in the actions they carry out. >> todd: finally, in your earlier answer, you'd use the word historic and typically through my life when you thought about punishing iran commit was

always through sanctions or some other nonconnected form of action. what is the significance of iran finally facing retribution from connecticut perspective i'll be it small for how sows chaos throughout the middle east and e quite frankly. >> really a completely new chapter in the mystery of this conflict. there is a pile of sanctions on iran. if we have learned one thing commit is that those sanctions have not been strong enough. i am hopeful, though, iran is so unpopular in the region that so many of the arab states are horrified at iran's strike on israel and what it is like, too, we can see pressure to isolate and contain iran and i hope some progress on diplomatic items like celly recognition and normalization with israel. that is what will reshape the region over the long term. iran has got to be detained and isolated. they were so stupid to attack

israel and shown the reregime for what they are. >> todd: some of those countries allowed to come it does appear to use airspace to conduct the strike yesterday, so that is an interesting first step. dr. grant, thank you for your time and we appreciate appreciated pure of the u.s. navy has spent $1 million with proxies over the middle east over the last several months so are we prepared to confront the possibility of a broader middle east war? >> carley: former fbi agent and iraq war veteran and cory mills are both on deck. voya helps you choose the right amounts without over or under investing. so you can feel confident in your financial choices voya, well planned, well invested, well protected.

♪ ♪ 's fate to a source as the u.s. was notified before israel launched retaliatory strike agan iran but was not involved.

as we await an official white house response, six american naval ships are stationed in the middle east as well as thousand u.s. troops. the navy says it spent $1 billion fending off attacks by iran and its proxies in the middle east over the last six months. jonathan gilliam is a former navy seal and fbi special agent, and he joins us now. jonathan, good morning to you. this israeli strike, the goal of it was to de-escalate. but if that doesn't happen, is the united states prepared and ready for the possibility of a broader war? >> well, i don't think it will work in the long run. all of this back-and-forth is nothing but a band-aid and temporary restraint. iran wants war. i don't know when anybody will ever realize that iran wants war with israel. and whether it is a proxy war or whether iran themselves attacking and they are shown willing to do, they will

continue to carry out attacks on israel. but that wing said to them of the biden administration as we have seen since he came into office are not war fighters and they are not really that good at diplomats. so they will do whatever is politically best for the biden administration here that is what they will do for themselves. if that means not attacking or not carrying out any type of offensive action on iran if need be, that is what they will do bureau that is what they did in afghanistan. that is how they dealt with china, and i believe that is how they will deal with it now. >> carley: you are right, iran wants war with israel. they also want to wipe the united states off of the face of the earth. they make that clear with death to israel and death to the u.s. and we are seeing in our own country. jonathan, how does this end? they say it is a great country in a bad neighborhood appear that is true, you have hamas in

the south, hezbollah to the north with another major threat but what does israel need to do to protect itself? >> it is interesting, carley, you said has below to the north and hamas to the south. that is iran. hezbollah and hamas with 40 other proxies around that region including the houthis who consistently harassing shipping in the red sea. but the interesting thing carley displayed this past weekend, iran themselves are not typical technically advanced to hit anything. they shot over 300 different types of munitions and only five reached the ground. the rest of them were exploded somewhere over a place other than israel. so why is this autonomy continuously given to iran? why does everyone act as though

iran is the superpower not to be messed with? i would look at this the same way i look at vladimir putin who started going after ukraine. the modern political warfare is the same as it used to be back in the revolutionary days they used to line up and have gentlemen warfare. diplomatic warfare does not want to get involved in actual warfare. before long, they will be drawn into it. at that point, it will be as we see here and not offensive. people need to realize with diplomats and politicians that were actually if done correctly will stop an enemy. until that is recognized with iran and they are stopped being treated like a superpower, they will continue to initiate attacks on israel. >> carley: how would you do that jonathan, stopped iran in their tracks? >> if every part of the problem with a rant decided to come

together in a coalition and take out the entire had share of iran and all of the infrastructure to wage war, they would be able to stop it. that is the problem. nobody comes together and deals with it. >> carley: like the abraham accords, the former president, president trump was achieving during his administration. to that point, "the wall street journal," jonathan, the white house renewing their push to israel to normalize relations with saudi arabia. but that would come with the price of granting the palestinians statehood. what do you think about that? do you think that is a fair trade-off and ultimately in israel's best interest? >> i think ultimately, israel is going to have to deal with the palestinian issue in a way that looks past thomas and looks at giving the palestinians a placeo exist. that is going to have to be the case eventually one day. if it means getting saudi arabia

on their side, i would say that is something they need to look towards. ultimately, as we have seen in this, saudi arabia and many of the other countries allowed israel to use their airspace, which means they understand the threat that israel is. even if israel didn't exist, iran would still be a problem and a thorn in the sight of everyone in that region and in the side of the united states. whether it is terrorism, whether it is proxy wars, or if they are trying their hardest to take a war themselves to israel, iran will consistently attack in one way or another to reach their objective. they want more. >> carley: there are a lot of players here and all the posing interest, which is where we are today. jonathan, thank you for being with us this morning as always. >> thank you.

>> carley: one day after the house means committee for a package that includes $26 billion for israel. >> todd: iraq war veteran, cory mills joins us now. congressmen come into the broader picture of the united states response, we have heard you want this program call out the biden administration for allowing the middle east and allowing many of the regions in the world to reach the point of chaos that they have so going forward, what should the biden administration do, especially in light of last night strikes, but also, what will they do? >> first time i think we need to be discussing exactly what was last night strikes. what was the strikes that just occurred with the approximately 170 drones, 130 rockets, but also 130 missiles launched by iran. you both have on equal sides, iranian regime is having to continually show face because of the populace uprights revolt and

overthrow ayatollah. equally, you have political turmoil with benjamin netanyahu the prime minister of israel will fight for his political life as well because many think he should be removed. so you have both sides come if you pay attention if iran launch this massive kind of attack knowing the players that would be in the region would be able to put out the efforts knowing with david's sling and the iron dome that there would be pretty much inadequate amount of missile defense capabilities, mda. you have a similar approach where they launched into area where sending a message that we know other nuclear facilities are and we know where the drone facilities are when you are manufacturing drones. it is another response from both sides where playing tit for tat is a dangerous game, but they are doing it somewhat calculated way to not escalate things beyond what it is. so, i think we need to be

looking at how can we actually try to gain additional peace through the abraham accords and expansion. saudi arabia has shown they are willing to step up and support israel and to fight against me 19, both independence as well as for allowing airspace to be flown over but also jordan has sent a clear message that 94 peace agreement, the normalization that occurred there is also strong and willing to stand with israel. so a lot of very, very big diplomatic signaling has gone on here. what we don't want is full out regional war. it is about understanding the diplomacy and what is needed to continue our efforts. >> carley: there will be boats this week and on separate aid packages, congressmen, israel, t help with this play out? >> to be honest with you, there is a lot of us that fill in the current date at almost 130% gdp spending, 34 plus trillion dollars that continue to drive

up that in the united states with 20% inflation is not something we can accept. in good conscience, we cannot accept this. be fast for hr 1 low-cost energy act to be low policy right around this to essentially not paid for but take us and a bigger geopolitical movement to stop reliance on the nation likm iran but allows us to start getting an approach here at home that would economically help people to lower their cost of heating and cooling their homes here were to lower the cost of goods and cpi rates because of the ability to tried to get from point a to point b at a cheaper rate but the every day harder working american back to fourth and work easier appear in for a lot of us, we don't accept these clean, foreign aid package and no additional strategies. we already have $14.3 billion israel aid package sitting in the senate, it's been sitting for the last six plus months

chuck schumer has refused to actually do anything with that would also have the adequate pay forward. i'm not so sure but this will go with regards to the foreign aid package. i know myself and others know ukraine and what they are doing right now. again, ukraine's 19th most corrupt nation in the country and has military strategy and has not been able to define what success looks like. a tremendous amount of dishes but we cannot drive debt with no solutions. >> carley: iran and russia or l.a. so i want to ask you a little bit more about what you said about ukraine. cia director bill burns said to congress yesterday that if ukrainian aid supplemental does not pass soon but there is a very real risk that ukrainians could lose on the battlefield by the end of 2024. what is your stance now that you hear that? does that change anything for you? >> well i don't trust much the cia comes out with, to be completely honest with you, from the political shot.

but i will tell you this, why is america not talking to david solomon the sanctions cheap who recently admitted they have $190 billion euros of frozen russian assets and 3.5 billion euro dollars profit in the strength of the e.u. and have a e.u. a step up and do its job. if this was a massive threat when it comes to russia overrunning ukraine and tilting its other european nations, you would see a broader response from germany to france, italy are those most at risk who say, don't pay 2% of gdp to be a nato member. so i think they are winning for waiting for americans to pick up the check and $24 trillion, russia is in a worse economic position ever, 13% inflation. i think we need to be looking at home where we have open borders, 20 plus percent inflation and we need to be demanding e.u. and other step up to do their job because only one over there that i see is poland who has continued to try to go ahead and

invest and build up and defend themselves are quite think we need to be putting more pressure on the e.u. and not the american people. >> carley: you will be working overtime so thank you for joining us, congress. breaking news coverage continues as we learn israel has carried out a retaliatory strike on iran. robert charles is on deck. we wanted to hear about this? congressman ilhan omar's daughter suspended from her school after she took part in anti-israel protests in columbia. details on that ahead. ♪ ♪ i'm jonathan lawson, here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are the three p's?

the past. if israel was responding to what iran did, all the missile strikes, more than 3,000, at the end of the day, what they did, honestly was a very limited attack demonstrating some of your other guests have said, demonstrating they can reach out and touch iran anywhere they want. they did so near and dear in nuclear facility and a nuclear base, assuming these attacks describe coming from israel, which we can assume they are. i think people need to keep in the front of their mind, because this is a new phenomenon and not a proxy war or proxies attacking israel but a direct attack originally by iran on israel and a direct response by israel to hit territorial iran. escalation risks are high. the biden administration should not waste one moment and should go straight in and say they fully support israel in their response against this terror, state-sponsored terrorism of

iran. i think we should also be aware that there will be implications around the world. there may well be implications in the united states. the bottom line, what just happened the biden administration to your point of sanctions, the biden administration initially led $36 billion worth of assets. they then added to that a release of a wait, they gave a waiver allowing iran to sell $10 billion worth of oil to a iraq next door. $16 billion worth of appeasement. appeasement does not buy you anything. what appeasement by shoe is emboldened of the party being appeased. that is why iran hit israel. what we have is a brand-new territorial hot war. i urge people to think about this for a moment. this has been a proxy war up until the attack by iran on israel. it is now territory to territory attack. i hope it doesn't escalate, but the chances are it will and people need to be aware of that.
