8:01 pm
>> this is cnn news cnn's breaking >> hello and welcome. i'm jim sciutto in washington with are continuing breaking news coverage of iran, it attack on israel. israel is about to take its first day time. look at the impact of a massive missile and drone barrage by iran. this is what it looked like a few hours ago the idf says, iran fired more than 200 missiles and drones on israel overnight with the vast majority of them shot down by both israeli and us defenses before reaching its airspace. tehran called that a response to an israeli strike
8:02 pm
on iran's embassy in damascus earlier this month. hours ago, and israeli official said the war cabinet received an authorization to decide. now how it will respond. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken on the phone just in the last hour with us president joe biden and washington has asked israel for a heads up about any possible response. israel says a seven-year-old girl was injured by shrapnel from an interceptor missile but there are no injuries directly from the iranian attacks. the idf released this statement earlier. this evening >> tonight. iran launched a large scale of coordinated attack on israel the regime in iran fired a massive swarm over 200 killer drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles towards the state of israel together with our allies and partners across the region we are operating. it. this very
8:03 pm
moment to defend israel from iran's attack so far we've intercepted the vast majority of incoming missiles by israeli systems so far, we have intercepted, and are continuing to insert to intercept dozens of attack drones, as well as cruise missiles. and ballistic missiles outside of israel's border >> she does nic robertson is monitoring the situation from jerusalem as we can see there, the sun coming up the morning after he joins us. now, live it. nick, the pentagon is saying it is detecting that this missile barrage and drone barrage has now subsided for now. and i wonder if that corresponds to what you're seeing on the ground there it feels that way, jim, i mean, we're still hearing the occasional fighter jet in the sky above us and i suspect we will do >> throughout much of the day, but the sensor the fighter jets
8:04 pm
there were there were several before that there were circling quite low at times and the reports that we're getting from around the country do seem to indicate despite what we heard from a rear admiral, daniel hagari, they're indicating that there were still interceptions are going on i think he has about to give another update briefing and we may get the idf's assessment of where the current attacks stands, because a few hours ago he was still saying that there were intercepts going on, but of course where it does remain potentially more active, that is, along the northern border where we know in the last hour or so the idf says there has been a barrage of 55 missiles fired by hezbollah from southern lebanon. a proxy of iran, into the golan heights area in the north of israel. so there really is a potential for attention and missiles along,
8:05 pm
along that border as we go through the morning hours, even if iran has actually paused or finished it's first wave of attack, but it did last for quite a period of time and was very intense at times as well. jim you heard the idf spokesman hagari, they're speak about israel and its allies in the region responding to this attack. we know the us took a lead role in that. the us has acknowledged that it shot down many of these missiles and drones prior to them reaching israeli territory. do we know? >> that other >> nations in the region were involved in defense as well? and is it possible other nations were involved and are not saying that they were involved? >> well we certainly know that there were intercepts over amman in jordan just to the east of here, sort of on a direct line, if you will, from
8:06 pm
iran to israel. and the direction and trajectory you would expect some of those missiles to have taken but we're not hearing that officially from the jordanian government. in fact, and it's very interested in looking at jordanian newspaper, jordan times this morning. and there's barely any mention of the strikes at all. they mentioned the air space in jordan being closed and that would be an apparent effort to play down. it appears what's played out in the skies over jordan last night because many jordanians, many palestinians who live in jordan would be very sensitive about their country directly supporting the defense of israel. now, the sound is, as we know, have played a significant role in downing and detecting missiles at the houthis of fired over the past few months and to israel. and i think it would be expected because of the location of us missile defense systems inside of saudi arabia
8:07 pm
that saudi will have played a role in, if not taking down some of those missiles israel certainly being part of the radar array, an intelligence and pinpointing some of the missiles fired and we don't have that from the saudi government is, in fact it's interesting the statement put out by that bay there for ministry in the past couple of hours, talks about the need for com i'm on both sides. both iran and israel, but that is typical of how, how saudi arabia tries to play this diplomatically down the middle of the field, if you will, gem no >> question and not inconsistent with what we've seen in the past where you might have error partners take part, but not advertise that participation conscious of the reaction from their own populations nic robertson in jerusalem, please keep yourself and your team safe joining me now to discuss from washington,
8:08 pm
aaron david miller is a former us state department middle east negotiator, senior fellow now at the carnegie endowment. good to have you on tonight, and i wonder if you can help us game out. what iran's intent was here, because the us israel, other partners succeeded in taking out the vast majority of these missiles without deaths on the ground. on israeli territory or significant damage. but this was a an extremely large barrage of missiles and drones. one of these missiles apparently taken out in space by the high altitude arrow defense system of israel was iran's intent to kill on israeli soil >> i think you're running is looked for a way to navigate a fine line between making their response qualitatively and quantitatively different than anything you've done in the past. they certainly have done that. this is a historic turning point in the iranian is
8:09 pm
really cool but at the same time, perhaps, perhaps because when you launch 200 missiles, so i mean, maybe israeli technology will work, maybe it won't right? if you're running >> need some >> pretty, pretty in their calculation, safe assumptions that in fact, they wouldn't cause a mass casualty event so they wanted to qualitatively deliver a different response. but at the same time, not set up a set of circumstances which would prompt the israelis to respond. i think there's been a lot of missing calculations here, jim, i'm much more impressed with israeli technology than israeli intelligence i mean, october 7, day they misdiagnosed tomasa capacity and it's motivation april 1, when they struck reza zahedi, they clearly underestimated what the iranians were doing response 200 read missiles. and >> now they're going to respond there's no question
8:10 pm
>> about that. >> president. >> and 20 five-minute phone call with the prime minister >> nguyen house issued a very very supportive statement of israel. >> president's going to convene the >> g7 tomorrow the american are going to gin up a major diplomatic move to isolate the iranian extrude the iranians, the israelis have called for me security council, but the israelis are going to strike the question is when at what targets in iran proper and is their assessment going to be accurate? in response, the means are not going to retaliate and loose loose the tiger of hizballah, which can do a lot of damage. de israel prop. >> no question to your point, reading from that statement issued just a short time ago, from president biden, he said, among other things, i condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms, noting he said that he just spoke with the prime minister. he said he reaffirmed america's ironclad
8:11 pm
commitment to the security of israel. we should note there has been a very public and private disagreement between the us president and the prime minister, particularly over the conduct of the war in gaza. but here, a state of unity. i want to ask you, aaron david miller about likely israeli responses. and this is just asking you to speculate because you're not in the room there as they make these decisions. but you had passenger john bolton advocating for an israeli strike on iranian nuclear facilities, which would be quite an escalation. do you see that as a potential response here? and what are the potential responses short of that >> not today. i don't i mean, i think that the israelis should now escaped a good deal of tensions over gaza i think as you notice, the wet on statement gym, there was no call for restraint by the president >> not zero. >> so i think the israelis will
8:12 pm
look for a series of conventional military targets. i would assume but i think it's going to be a disproportionate i mean, all of the israeli rhetoric coming on in the last 12 to >> 20 hours it seemed to suggest that they understand the magnitude even though they've been no casualties so far. and the israelis have intercepted most everything they understand the magnitude of what these iranians have done. and i think their own calculation is they cannot afford to have a new normal, which is every time they go after and an iranian revolutionary guard corps member in iraq, syria, lebanon iran feels it, it can essentially respond to that with a barrage of missiles. israel, i understand that, but the trouble with each response being disproportionate to the last and we heard the us, the white house view is that
8:13 pm
iran's response to that strike in damascus. this barrage of missiles and drones is just promote proportionate if israel does the same thing that's the nature of an escalation ladder, is it not that you escalates out of control >> i mean, i'm not advocating here, jim, i'm just down license and i think that again, has the israeli israelis misread hamas on october 7, a misread iran on april 1st. i don't think these really is expected. 200 cruz drones and ballistic missiles to be launched >> question is, will they >> get this one right? >> yeah, because i >> suspect they strike ron hard >> you run eons >> are not going to back down. and i think then you, your esca to escalatory ladder could could ramp up quite quickly. >> to, your point in the statement from president biden, there was no call for restraint. we do know that president biden and other senior us officials have been
8:14 pm
pressuring israel for some time to dampen down its military operations in gaza with the intent of allowing aid in reducing civilian casualties. do you expect and by the way, the us has asked iran where israel rather were told for a heads up as to how it plans to retaliate. and they were miffed, as we know that there was no heads-up but about the strike in damascus i wonder what kind of messages private messages of restraint that the us might be conveying to israel in the coming days. >> it's very good question but i only suggest that in six months, israel, the government or the biden administration has not imposed a single cost or consequence on israeli military activities or their the fact that they haven't really we've been made humanitarian assistance of priority. iran is
8:15 pm
a completely different order of magnitude democrats and republicans are already lining up to talk about how we use this in order to isolate iran arounds a bad actor it doesn't have the sympathy of 2.3 million palestinians who were exposed to a moscow terror attack and and brought to his sort of humanitarian catastrophe as a consequence. it was source response to that attack so i think on iran it, the president is urging the israelis to be careful and cautious. i suspect it's, it's friendly advice rather than any sort of warning to use the president's language against iran. >> don't i don't think >> that the president said, don't benjamin netanyahu? >> fair points. erin, have another thanks so much as
8:16 pm
always >> thanks, jim >> that's still to come us president joe biden speaks with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu following iran strikes details of that crucial call just ahead, plus, we will discuss iran's military and its potential next moves. that's after the break houston, you are go >> for the burn there's debris in the sky parents, husbands and wives gone. if you work in spaceflight, this is the worst possible thing that can ever happen. >> thousands of pieces of debris we print out pieces to a puzzle. i should have that test on day one >> no, i wish i could've done something differently, but i can undo that. you can just make it better. are those that follow space shuttle columbia, the final flight, two part finale tomorrow at nine on cnn they need the lawn back fast.

8:20 pm
>> breaking news in the middle east, the israeli military fended off an estimated 200 missiles and drones launched by iran at israeli territory overnight calling the law large-scale attack, a quote, major escalation. us president joe biden and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to a yahoo have spoken on the telephone about these attacks which us officials believe we're disproportionate to israel's strikes, though, does not acknowledged them on iran's consulate in damascus, syria, which then prompted this retaliation. that's been a major talking point between biden and his national security team during meetings in the situation room, you see good picture there. he shared this photo saying, quote, our commitment to israel's security against threats from iran and its proxies is ironclad. cnn's mj lee joins me now from the white house and mj, the relationship between biden and netanyahu has been fraught in recent weeks and
8:21 pm
months over the conduct of the war in gaza, but a strong statement of support from biden to israel tonight. do we know what else was communicated on that phone call >> we do gem, we've just gotten the official white house readout of the call between the two liters. i just wanted to read a small part from it. it says, i've just spoken with prime minister netanyahu to reaffirm america is ironclad commitment to the security of israel i told him that israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against an defeat, even unprecedented attacks sending a clear clear message to its fos that they cannot effectively threatened the security of israel and i'm learning jim from a senior administration official that president biden also conveyed to the prime minister that he should consider tonight a win because the us is assessment right now, is that a ron's attacks were largely unsuccessful. and why does the us have that assessment right
8:22 pm
now, i'm told by hi, this official that almost all of the drones and missiles that iran had launched including more than 100 ballistic missiles, had been successfully knocked out of the sky. and that no cruise missile made impact in israel. and that essentially nothing of value was hit. again, this is a us is current assessment as of tonight, i'm also told that the president told the prime minister that the us is not going to participate in any offensive operations against iran. so that's a really important note given that we have seen the us obviously taking a lot of steps to come to israel's defense and play a big role in helping to knock down some of those weapons at around launched against israel. but this is where the us is clearly drawing the line. the president saying anything offensive that might potentially take place from israel against iran let the us is not going to be involved in that. now, if you look at the president's statement, it also
8:23 pm
said that us forces and facilities were not attacked tonight, but it did also say that obviously the administration is going to remain vigilant, but this is of course going to be a huge sigh of relief for this white house. given that the length that the administration has gone to in recent days to ensure that iran would not go after us personnel and assets, including taking the step of directly communicating with iran to warn them, essentially, which is of course really notable given that these are two countries that do not have any formal diplomatic relations now worth noting, jim, is that this senior official i spoke with would not get into what the president might have advised the prime minister to do in in terms of potential next steps in retaliation responding to what we saw from iran that of course is going to be such a key space to watch given that us officials are so set on
8:24 pm
containing the situation and trying to prevent this from burgeoning into an even bigger conflict going forward. >> that's quite notable. mj lee, that message here ironclad support for israel. israel right to defend itself. familiar language. there, but the us will not participate in an offensive operations against iran. that is setting a limitation, is it not perhaps applying some pressure on israel as to how it might respond >> yeah, certainly setting a limitation on what the us is not willing to do. and it's essentially saying, i guess if you're reading between the lines if you decide to retaliate in a significant way, you're going to be doing it alone at least without the us aid. we were willing to do all of this to help defend your country and defend your security. but when it comes to a potential retaliation against
8:25 pm
iran, that is something that the us is not willing to be involved in just one other thing, as we're talking about the president. and the israeli prime minister is a relationship here that you said at the top has been incredibly fraught keep in mind the last time that the two leaders spoke was nine days ago, that phone call jim, as you remember very well, was prompted by the deaths of the seven world central kitchen workers that was the result of mistaken strikes by the israelis that caused so much condemnation that infuriated the white house. and that is when the president issued this ultimatum basically saying if you do not course-correct we might have to reconsider the way that we are supporting you in this war. and then nine days later we have this conversation. after the series of events that we have seen over the last several hours where the president is saying in no uncertain terms that the us is commitment to israel's security is ironclad but so just two phone calls, again within the span of just
8:26 pm
nine days or so, that really capture the very, very complicated relationship between the two countries. certainly the two liters and so much that is going on and has unfolded in just a matter of nine days. again, no >> question, >> too complicated phone calls in that time period. cnn's mj lee at the white house. thanks so much or leaving liebermann joining us now from the pentagon and/or and i understand you have new reporting about exactly how many missiles were taken down and particularly how many by us forces in the region >> jim, this is something we've been watching over the course of the past several hours really since this attack began, because we knew the us would try to help intercept as many drones and missiles as it could before they ever reached israeli airspace and israeli territory. we've now heard from two us officials that the us intercepted more than 70 drones that were headed for israel, as well as at least three, perhaps for ballistic
8:27 pm
missiles that were targeting israel. >> now, we know that >> according to another us official that fighter jets were part of intercepting those drones. we don't know what types of fighter jets the us has. 50 f-16s, potentially other fighters in the area as well. we also don't know if it was exclusively fighter jets to intercepted the drones. it's possible at least right now that there were also ground-based aerial defense systems that also took part in intercepting and engaging this massive swarm are ways of drones that had been launched. asked with a ballistic missiles, those were intercepted by at least one of the two destroyers in the eastern mediterranean sea. the us had position those to help in the defense of israel and intercept anything that was headed that way. there are two deroyers there at this point, according to a number of officials, the us has arleigh-burke as well as the uss carney, at least one of those engaged at least three ballistic missiles that were launched towards israel, i believe, and i'd have to triple check this. but if you look back over the course of the six months, we have seen intercepts by us navy assets, but most of
8:28 pm
those were in the red sea. this may be the first time we're seeing intercepts from the eastern mediterranean sea. but there you see the us and israeli cooperation, this sort of layered multi-tier defense to do as much as possible to intercept drones and missiles before they ever got to israel. and of course at that point, if they got through it, it was israel's aerial defenses that would kick in >> let's see that it's notable. i mean, you mentioned the response to the houthi missile strikes in the red sea that us forces in the region have shown significant capability to shoot down a variety of missiles and drones at a distance over the last several months, i do want to ask or and and i know that some of this participation is deliberately quiet, but do we know the extent that other partners in the region took part? in helping to detect or take down some of these missiles and drones headed for israel >> nothing officially at this point. and frankly, it wouldn't surprise me because at the diplomatic sensitivities, if you simply don't see other countries come
8:29 pm
forward and say, hey we helped with our sensors intercept is we use our fighters or our ground-based systems to intercept some of these drones. that's simply frankly the nature of the middle east. israel has good military cooperation with a number of those countries. even if they want to keep that quiet. and to your point, it's worth noting that rear admiral daniel hagari, when he spoke several hours ago, he said israeli systems and partners. so he didn't specifically mentioned the us. we know they're included. what other countries are included israel, it looks like we'll keep quiet about that. >> i noticed that as well, partners plural, oren liebermann at the pentagon. thanks so much. >> please >> do stay with us. we're going to the latest on iran strikes against israel, discussions of israel's potential responses as well. when we come back tomorrow >> night no space for stoma whole story with anderson cooper, the james webb

8:34 pm
on israel overnight. a vast majority of them shot down before reaching israel's air her space, including by us forces in the region. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken on the telephone with us president joe biden, according to a senior us official, biden said the attacks were largely unsuccessful, which biden described as a win for israel officials, say netanyahu's war cabinet has now been authorized to decide how to respond. are mj lee has learned and just reported the president told netanyahu the us will not take part in any offensive actions against iran. that's significant this is how the idf described the attacks earlier tonight iran launched a large scale of coordinated attack on israel the regime in iran fired a massive swarm over 200 killer drones, cruise missiles, and
8:35 pm
ballistic missiles towards the state of israel together with our allies and partners across the region we are operating. it. this very moment to defend israel from iran's attack so far we've intercepted the vast majority of incoming missiles by israeli systems so far, we have intercepted, and are continuing to insert to intercept dozens of attack drones, as well as cruise missiles. and ballistic missiles outside of israel's border >> let's go to new, to jerusalem where cnn's nic robertson is standing by with the latest and since october 7 and you were there and we've been covering this for sometime. the concern has banned. does this war expand beyond already the death and suffering we've seen in gaza and we saw on southern israel on october on october 7. and here you have a direct attack by iran on israel,
8:36 pm
unsuccessful. but a direct attack. so here we are. can you do describe the significance of this escalation and where it leaves israel right now >> well, it's certainly been a concern of israel's partners in the region, even those that have been helping defended tonight, that prime minister netanyahu has been escalating tensions in the region quite simply, they see it through the perspective of previously has seen it through the perspective of so many palestinians killed in gaza, more than 33,000 now, which obviously raises the temperature for a lot of the public in this region, despite whatever relationship there governments may have with with, with israel. so there's that but i think in the context of where we stand, this morning,
8:37 pm
if you will, with a decision that will be taken by prime minister netanyahu and his war cabinet about how to respond to a decision and come they say that they will have with partners and certainly inform partners if they move ahead with it. and i think in the context of what president biden has decided to do following his conversation with prime minister netanyahu, which is call a meeting of g7 leaders later today all of these point to the fact that that you do united states will, will bring its allies and partners into the equation to try to continue to keep security in the region by, by not having an escalation that certainly in the interests of all these partners but i think it gets also to your question, also gets the psyche four israelis and part of that
8:38 pm
is the threat from hamas, part of it. so this new threat from iran that is now something yet another party that, that can reach inside of israel and un inflict potential damage and harm inside israel, something that people haven't had to deal with before. so this will also be part of the equation, but another a part of that equation for the israeli public has been this growing riff between the united states, president biden and prime minister netanyahu, which leads to the concern how much can israel depend on the united states as it has done in the past iron clad, there was iron clad support in the defense of israel tonight but in offensive measures that prescribes what israel can do, that president biden's clear intent, and that's a concern on the minds of many israelis.
8:39 pm
>> nikki, i wonder that >> that phrase stood out to me from mj is reporting a direct direction from the us president to the israeli prime minister we won't be involved if you strike back against iran does that lead israel not to strike iran? or does it at least restrict its up? shins in terms of striking iran? because certainly if one were to consider strikes on a iranian nuclear facilities that have been long discussion that israel would need us help to do so given israeli or rather iranian air defenses >> i think we can perhaps broaden the perspective of this out a little more. the united states is not going to, it's not going to support israel is that purely at a military level or is that also using it as diplomatic haft with allies in the region? we've heard what iran has had to say about any
8:40 pm
country in the region that let's israel uses air space that's a clear warning for countries like jordan and iraq. now israel, perhaps in the past, things it can look to the united states to use its diplomatic leverage to jordan, to iraq per set perhaps, maybe to use it, to use their airspace so that even that part of the israel's potential strike that package could be off the table as well. but it really can have an effect of, of, of limiting. i think the idea that israel will united states will stand behind israel when israel is targeted and threatened but i think we know the relationship between president biden and prime minister netanyahu is trained. we also know that prime minister netanyahu has a very hard tough, right-wing leaning government that exerts and is able to exert effective pressure on him. and the decisions he takes their roots
8:41 pm
the possibility here that prime minister netanyahu still does take action against iran, even if president president biden would rather he didn't. >> good point. >> we've seen >> that happen before over the objections of the earth president nic robertson. good davion, stay safe well, the us is closely watching. of course, events in the middle east as top officials hold critical calls with their israeli counterparts are breaking news coverage continues in just a moment >> columbia houston, you are go for the birth first degree in this guy. >> parents husbands and wives gone. >> if you work in spaceflight, this is just the worst possible thing that could ever happen. >> thousands of pieces the three are now pieces to a puzzle. i should have that test on day one. >> i wish i could've done something differently. what i can undo that, you can just

8:46 pm
defense minister. you gallant. hours after iran's attack began, a us official says, austin asked golan to give us a heads up before any potential response from israel the escalating conflict between israel and iran comes amid a very, extremely delicate moment in the middle east, hostage and ceasefire negotiations between israel and hamas continue. but they've stalled in recent days and weeks joining me now is a representative for families those israeli hostages. he has jonathan franks, jonathan, thanks for joining us tonight >> hey, good evening. thanks for having me, jo-marie, i do want to clarify. i don't represent those families. i represent the bring our families. i'm campaign >> understood. >> those families have been >> frustrated by the progress of negotiations involving a ceasefire in exchange for hostage release, as well as release of palestinian
8:47 pm
prisoners held in israeli jails. there was already frustration with that process and hopes raised and then dashed periodically. i have to assume that tonight with this is iranian attack on israel that those families that others watching these negotiations closely fear there's another delay. and perhaps those talks are under threat again jim, i make the same assumption. my heart sank last week when hamas said it might not have 40 hostages in the humanitarian category that still alive and i, as i said to you earlier tonight, i think the hostages got a little further from home tonight. >> that's a sad fact. i mean, talk just for folks who might not have been following that headline just a few days ago hamas saying, well, 40 of those folks who are still missing, we just don't know who that where they are. is the assumption for those taking part in these
8:48 pm
negotiations that those hostages are now dead >> that was the way i read it. unfortunately, and i hope to god that it's not true but if it is true it does say something about this weapon selection in choice to tactics in a combat zone in which you know, you have hostages oh you're suggesting that it's possible that some of them died from israeli military action right >> lots of bonds coming from airplanes, from naval ships i'm just very helpful. it's not true and that this is just to mask playing games what's your best assessment of where these negotiations go from here? i can only imagine that there is an outright pause in talks as israel as iran, as others in the region gauge what
8:49 pm
the next steps are in, are we on the precipice of a broader, a broader conflict here? i don't >> think hamas is can become to the table when a meaningful way while we're on an escalation ladder they'll probably wait and sit it out. and again, i'd love to be wrong and look really silly for having said that. but that's my fear and i think one of the things that we want to do is remind everyone that there's still are a little no matter how many of them may have passed, there's a lot of live hostages in gaza, and we can't let the focus turn off that because the moment that we do, they get a little further from home well, and also and you know this better than me as we the more we learn from hostages who have been lucky enough to be released >> is that the treatment of those hostages in captivity has just been appalling of, course and i think one they are after
8:50 pm
all, hamas, a terrorist group. and we have to remember that there are other government they're terrorist group in the way that they've treated these sausages, like you said is appalling. it's one of the reasons i'm so concerned tonight. and so concerned to see destabilization at least on some skill in the west bank as well. because i think then stability in those incidents might very well be reflected in how the hostages are treated it's something i'm really concerned about tonight. >> well, jonathan franks, we appreciate the work you do for this campaign. thanks so much for joining us this evening >> thanks for having me, jim >> and our breaking news coverage continues after a short break

8:55 pm
were a direct >> retaliation for the strikes on the iranian embassy compound in damascus. that of course, the iranian say killed several top-level members of the islamic revolutionary guard-core. now the israelis, of course, has not claimed responsibility for those strikes in damascus, but the iranians have said that they do hold israel accountable for it. and so they say that right now the retaliation was for exactly that. the iranians put out a statement earlier where they said that with this retaliation as they put it, the matter can be deemed to be concluded. in other words, it could stop there, but the iranians are also saying that all of that of course, depends on the united states and depends very much on israel as well. in fact, the iranians are saying that if israel does decide to take this further to retaliate once again that then the iranians would for their part, also launched what they call a proportional
8:56 pm
response to all that the iranians were saying that the, strikes that they conducted, which of course involved a lot of drones ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles that they consider that to be an act of self-defense as they put it in the same time, they warned both the united states and israel not to take things even further. one nuance that was very important in all of this is that the islamic revolutionary guard-core actually put out a statement as well, where they also said that they hold the us accountable for any actions that israel would take and told the un as they said, to stay out of the matter. of course, the iranians threatened the united states quite frequently in the middle east. one of the things that we've heard repeatedly from iranian officials, but also from former members of the irgc is that they say the united it states needs to understand. but next to every military base or almost every military base that the us has in the middle east, that there is an iranian backed militia out there that could attack us assets in the middle
8:57 pm
east. so certainly, the iranians are saying that for the us, this could get very real. but at the same time, they also say that they don't want this matter to be taken any further. however, they do say that if the israelis do launch attacks against iranian territory, that iran would be ready for pleitgen, cnn, berlin thanks so much for watching this evening. i'm jim sciutto in washington. we continue our breaking news coverage right after a short break

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. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for.
