weeknight today on in an this is cnn breaking news >> hello and welcome. i'm becky anderson in abu dhabi for you. while wrongs, unprecedented drone and missile attacks on israel appear to have subsided. that is, according to us officials, this though, is what it all looked like. >> a >> few hours ago idf says, more than 3,300 missiles and drones were fired on israel overnight and 99% it's worth intercepted. that's 300 missiles fired on israel overnight, 99% intercepted the attack lasted approximately

five hours. israel says a seven-year-old girl was injured by shrapnel from an interceptor. missile. but there are no injuries directly from the attack tech ron says the attack was in response to an israeli strike on iran's embassy in damascus >> earlier. >> this month and that the matter can be regarded as quote, concluded, prime minister benjamin netanyahu has spoken on the phone with us president joe biden. he told mr. netanyahu the attacks were largely unsuccessful, which was a win. he said four israel, cnn's mj lee has learned the president told mr. netanyahu, the us will not take part in any offensive operation action against iran >> meanwhile, missing

>> it and you reacted on social media saying, quote, we have intercepted, we have contained we shall win both in iran >> celebrations broke out on the streets of tech ron after words of the attack got out right. let's bring in nic robertson. he is in jerusalem. paula hancocks is with me here in abu dhabi nick, let's start with you president biden calling this a win. tonight. nothing quote, a value was hit. >> what see >> perspective there where you are, or what was this unprecedented strike by iran? >> on? >> or towards at least israel

>> yeah, becky, i'm sorry, i was having trouble hearing you do you mind just we telling me your question really sorry. there was a problem with the connection >> what is the perspective there? what are we hearing from israeli officials >> i think perhaps the headline at the moment does appear to be coming from the defense minister who has said that the just to quote his words, the confrontation with iran is not over yet. that's doesn't definitively say that israel will have a response, but there is a school of thought it seems to. be emerging. that's the direction of travel at the moment for israel's war cabinet when the prime minister meets with them and they decide what the response is going to be the we've heard from us secretary of defense, lloyd austin saying that you have to add the defense minister has said to him that if israel does strike

back at iran than the united states will be informed rosso have some brief details on the number of people injured now, according to israel's emergency services some 31 people have minor injuries, slight injuries. some people have been treated in hospital or seven-year-olds go ahead serious head injuries. we understand from falling shrapnel that was that was reported earlier, but i think that the picture at the moment is what is the decision that the israeli government is going to take about their response we've heard from the defense, from the idf spokesman saying that 99% of the more than 300 missiles fired were intercepted? the ballistic missiles, the few that did get through, landed on an airbase in the center of israel and the negev desert where he, he says

the base remains operational. planes are still taking off, but we don't have a full assessment of the damage there, but he describes it as minor and those were ballistic missiles he said the ones that got through mostly hit that airbase >> where is benjamin netanyahu? >> we don't know where he is or the moment he is expected to be holding the war cabinet sometime later this morning. his comments, of course in essence, we we we intercepted, we've intercepted, we have contained together, we shall win. that seems also to indicate that the job is not done in his opinion i think certainly from the defense forces perspective here and politically, the country did perhaps better than they could

have hoped for against such an onslaught that there was always a concern that iran with so many different missiles at them that the defense systems would be, would be overrun but the sayyed the country and inside the country have shown that their systems have worked most of the drains and missiles were intercepted with the help of israel's allies. we are talking ed fence systems by the us, the uk possibly jordan, saudi arabia and possibly involved not this is essentially an air defense, but certainly intelligence around the region. >> and what do you >> make of the wider involvement here in supporting israel's defense? >> as the united states has started, given an ironclad guarantee to support israel in

its defense, but it strikes me that if israel goes on the offense then the potential for ramping up disquiet. let's say in saudi arabia where we know that they have helped into sent houthi missiles that had been fired or missiles that have come from from the direction of yemen towards israel that they've, they've been involved in intercepting those and in jordan, as we heard that there were intercepts over the skies in amman, jordan is a very sizable palestinian population in jordan who are absolutely incandescent about the way israel is treating the people of gaza more than 33,000 killed and will not want jordan to get in the habit of supporting israel militarily if the conflict goes on between israel and iran, then tensions between leadership and public particularly in jordan, could grow to be very uncomfortable

of course, the risk of israel targeting something directly back in iran that it hasn't done. so far in this conflict that escalating around further is very possible because around says, if they are struck, then they will strike back with more force. so the path of escalation is very clear here and how now that can draw in other countries and destabilize the region further, that becomes much clearer >> nic robertson is in jerusalem. thank you, nick, let me bring him paul, a handgun qazi's with me here in abu dhabi. so when unprecedented five, our attack, some 300 drones and missiles fired towards israeli territory, 99% of which were intercepted question is what happens next? what's a perspective from tehran? >> well, becky, what we've

heard from tehran is very clear. they say that this was an act of self-defense and it was an act of revenge for what happened on april 1st. and if we just remind ourselves on april 1st, there was this strike on the consulate building overrun in damascus in syria. and seven were killed, including two senior revolutionary guard commanders. now israel never claimed responsibility for that, but around said that they were responsible and they said that they would retaliate. and this is what we have seen at this point. now, tehran has been very clear saying they would retaliate. they have said this is what the retaliation looks like, and they have also said, quote, the mat, the matter can be deemed concluded. now clearly israel has said it is not concluded. there will be a next step, two, which tehran has said that if if there is a military aggression, as they put it again from, from israel, than the response will be stronger and more resolute. so you can see that the ratcheting up of this, this escalation at

this point. but as far as iran is concerned, this was in retaliation for what happened on april 1 >> the vast majority of these missiles were intercepted outside israel's territory, which does begs the question did iran intend to hit anything of significance? and was this a tag? well telegraphed by tehran as many of our sources around this region are suggesting it was absolutely tehran was in a position where it had to retaliate for what happened at the beginning of this month. it was in a position we're hearing from for many that it had to show some kind of deterrent to do nothing would have shown weakness. so it had to do something test runs very well aware of the air defense systems that israel has the whole world is very well aware that there many of them are us

provided. they are very sophisticated. israel has its own sophisticated defense systems as well. so it knows that even if it had carried out and it did carry out an overwhelming number of missile and cruise and ballistic missile attacks there was a good chance most of them would be shot down. so there is the question, did tehran actually want to do damage or did it want to show retaliation without pushing the boundaries too far? briefly, and i'll have >> you back of course, in the hours to come. what's been the regional reaction? peculiarly that around this gulf region where we are, it's very sensitive, as you know. i mean, there's a diplomatic tight rope that many of these countries are walking at this point, the eu reaction, the un, the us is all blaming iran. there's none of that here in the region. they are asking for a de-escalation of the situation. saudi arabia, for example, has said that the

kingdom merges all parties to exercise maximum restraint and to protect the region of its people from the dangers of war, something very similar. we're hearing from, from qatar they are asking for the all parties to de-escalate the situation. there is no finger of blame being pointed as saudi arabia, for example, they, they now are less tense with iran to say the least, establish diplomatic relations as has the uae exactly ways with good relations with iran and saudi arabia potentially looking to have diplomatic relations with israel. if you, if you believe what the biden administration is saying, and of course they are close with the united states as well. so it is a very tricky situation for many of these countries. they want this situation to be d escalated. they have all been very clear. they want to see ceasefire in gaza, but there was no finger of blame being pointed at this point. >> good to have you, paula. let's let you go and continue to work your sources as we develop are reporting on, this

story. thank you. we have mentioned us president biden's comments to the israeli prime minister that israel should consider saturday a win to quote him, as iran's a he said, well, mostly unsuccessful those remarks coming dring a phone call between the two leaders following the uranian strikes. cnn's mj lee has the details for you >> president biden speaking on the phone with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the heels of iran significant attacks against israel saturday night according to the white house's official readout of the phone call, it says, i've spoken with prime minister netanyahu to reaffirm america's ironclad commitment to the security of israel. i told him that israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend against and defeat even unpaid precedented attacks, sending a clear message to its fos that they cannot effectively threatened

the security of israel. we are also learning from a senior administration official that the president told the israeli prime minister that he should consider tonight a win, that the us is assessment right now, is that iran's attacks had been largely unsuccessful it's well, and the reason that this is a us as assessment right now according to this official, is that almost all of the drones and missiles that iran law on saturday, including more than 100 ballistic missiles were successfully knocked out of the sky. we are told and no cruise missile made impact in israel. and we are told essentially that nothing of value was hit again, this is the us is current assessment of the situation. importantly, we are also told that the president told the israeli prime minister that the us will not protect dissipate in any offensive operations against iran. so very noteworthy that this is the president drawing a line in

terms of what the us is not willing to do to help israel if it does. in fact, hi to potentially retaliate against iran in a significant way. now, the president's state and statement tonight also noting that no us forces or facilities were attacked tonight, but it did also say that us forces would of course, remain vigilant deterring. this was a very important goal for us officials. in recent days with the us actually directly communicating with iran and basically warning them that they should not come after us personnel and assets in the region the one thing that this senior official i spoke with would not get into is what, if anything, the president might have advised the prime minister to do in terms of how israel might retaliate or might respond in the coming hours and

days. of course that is such an important in question. and such an important space to watch given that the biden administration is very set on a trying to contain this situation and trying to prevent a wider regional war from erupting in the middle east mj lee cnn at the white house >> let's just underscore cnn being told and we have heard this from the biden administration that the us will not be participating in offensive action against iran. will us forces have intercepted more than 70 one-way attack drones and at least three ballistic missiles, according to two, us officials, familiar with the matter, the missiles were intercepted by us navy warships in the eastern mediterranean sea. >> us >> fighter jets were also part of the western response to iran's attack on saturday,

shooting down drones, launched towards israel. that is according to another us official, will join me now from washington dc is state department report jennifer hansler. it's good to have you just before you and i start talking, i do just want to report that in the past 45 minutes, israel has said that it has, once again opened its airspace reopened about 45 minutes ago. ben gurion international airport has renewed its activities, or the domestic airports will reopen during the day. and i think that is significant and certainly worth reporting given that not just israeli air space, but airspace around the region had been closed just before. what was this five our unprecedented attack towards israeli territory by tech ron, the biden administration has called this a win for israel,

given that 99% of the incoming fire from tech ron was intercepted >> what are you >> hearing at state about what happens next >> well becky, that's the big question here. we're going to see a flurry of diplomatic activity in the coming hours and days the secretary of state has come out with a statement this evening saying he plans to engage with partners and allies in the region and around the world on the matter as the us is watching very carefully about what comes next, we saw secretary state blinken and other us officials engaging behind the scenes in the lead up to this, trying to urge anyone who had any semblance of sway over iran to urge them not to escalate. and now we're going to see him try to engage with his partner there's on what happens next. if this continues to spiral. now, becky, i want to point out the president we saw him in this really key role of trying to

have the optics of being this commander commander in chief in a war time. is he convened his national security cabinet this evening. he came back from delaware the early he was spending the weekend there, so he could convene his top national security officials in the situation room. that's the secretary of state. the secretary of defense, the cia director. it's director of national intelligence the chief of the joint chiefs of staff, and they met for hours in the situation room this evening. becky, we don't know a lot about what was discussed, but we know part of the reason they were there so long as they were getting these real-time updates from the central centcom commander general kurilla. he was just in israel over the past couple of days and he was providing these updates as the us was engaged in supporting israel in taking down these iranian drones now as we heard from mj, the president also spoke with the israeli prime minister on the heels of this counter attack. and he is urging him not to do anything rash basically, and he is

saying the us will not support israel if they do anything offensive. however, we have seen from a number of officials that they are still trying to let's show that they will be there defensively. they are saying that commitment is still ironclad >> this is a really important time for the biden administration and many around the world will be picking a part. it's it's conduct and certainly it's response many will remember joe biden very forcefully addressing iran in the past, what, 72 hours with a don't line. if you're thinking about attacking israel, don't he said they did jennifer many will say that response was well telegraphed, gave israel and its allies time to get themselves in position to defend israel from what was a

synchronized launch of drones and ballistic missiles and effort. if you will, to test israel. and its allies defense systems what are you hearing from state about the support? by israel's allies the support for the us and israel by israel and the us allies internationally and particularly in this region well, we've seen, i'm trying to walk this very fine line as you know, a lot of the air partners and the region had been very against what israel is doing in gaza from the >> very get-go, they have come out against some of these operations that have been undertaken in gaza, particularly as this war has dragged on for more than six months. and we've seen 33,000 people killed according to local health authorities at the same time, in the past couple of hours, we have seen the regional allies and partners coming out with concern about

what has happened, voicing their concern about this iranian attack on israel. and there is a very keen sense here that no one wants to see the situation explode that was a fear at the very outset of this conflict six months ago. and now it has come back to the very forefront here. becky, as everyone is watching for what israel will do and what iran will do if israel does carry out continued counter attacks here so it actually inside, your analysis >> yeah, go >> i was going to say becky. the other thing i wanted to point out is tomorrow there will be a meeting of the un security council that was called by israel and we will see a lot of these partners speaking on this as well. well >> yeah. >> no. i was going to say you in certain analysis, you're sourcing on this. always, as ever, it's so important to us good to have you, jennifer hansler in the still come more reaction from around the world to iran's unprecedented attack on israel will go live to tel

including the means that the iranian will use to convey their message, namely drones. >> i must say the >> ballistics, missiles that they shot was was a surprise. however, everything was contained, everything was within these frameworks of as you said, dry fully before they did anything to telegraph their upcoming attack. >> so everybody will be in >> positions and be ready. and of course, i think the uranian wanted to convey a message. i think israel can contain what happened but at the end of the day, we need to remember why the iranian did that. they wanted us to stop hitting their generals all over the area here while they are orchestrating the war against that, it is already a regional war and at the end of the day, if israel will continue taking down,

hitting those generals, it will mean that the whole iranian f1 has failed. >> and this is exactly what i think israel should do. i mean, not to retaliate heavily, not to do anything at the moment, but just keep on its its war on the radian proxies and iranian generals in around this area >> you're making a very good point here. there has been much concern and suspicion around this region and wider that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been wanting to expand this conflict and many calling out his strategy or the lack there of perhaps in the alleged attack on iranian assets, of course in damascus >> what do >> you make of the strategic thinking at the highest levels in israel at this point?

>> well, i think we can test it regarding, let's say they the mni to against israel. if you'll check the way israel responded or retaliated to the many attacks that came from yemen, you would see that i don't think israel retaliatory been once. israeli is concentrated on those areas that it produce the direct threats against us. but you know such as damascus and of course lebanon. but i don't think netanya want to expand it but we do take it already is a regional, a regional war. of course, it it may escalate even further. but i think that if we will see that that anyhow and the israeli governments of course agrees and follows president biden's request not to escalate the war at the momentweill sethat ts

really is acng in our reonsible way it's a good question there, as i told you, i don't think israel need to retaliate at the momenit might be contained as it, as it is. the question at the end of the day is whether israel we'll keep on its its, its fight against the iranian commanders all over the area operating the war against us that's fascinating. >> the absence of a political path forward is absolutely an aggregated, an aggravating factor. here, that those, the words of one regional analyst and the reaction and response that we are seeing from the us and israel's friends, at least if not allies in this region is very specific. they are not naming iran in its aggressive

approach towards israel overnight, they are saying and repeating that there needs to be de-escalation in this regional tension. a ceasefire in gaza and a pathway for peace >> these >> regional friends, as it were not likely to stick with israel at this point, should they not see a sensible response. so this puts the focus squarely back on the conflict in gaza, of course. and what happens? next? do you >> expect to see a ceasefire? they're imminently >> i don't see a ceasefire without the hostages being returned. this is a very strong israeli and american actually demand and? we do understand

that any prolonging of the war in gaza, any anything even if in low intensity as it is at the moment, at the end of the day serves as hamas nobody wants to, of course, do continue with this suffer. >> okay >> including not our own people that are didn't never came back to there southern communities. >> nobody >> wants to prolong it, but we do understand that. we some sort sort of a pressure on hamas, we won't see those hostages back home. and this is what we care about >> in regard >> to what you said. it's it's very extremely important. >> it is >> israel's allies in the area and this is what we saw last night. we saw actually the allies against uranium, an axis at the end of the de, this is becky exactly how it was from the very beginning. everybody understood that it's not

washington, dc. it's good to have you. let's get your assessment first on the size and scale of this iranian attack well the bani retaliation seems clearly to be designed not to maximize damage >> but to essentially signal that israel violated iranian red line by striking the iranian consulate in damascus. now be ranis have done the same, but they're not looking so for escalation even before the attacks were over. the volume mission of the un tweeted that they considered this a concluded chapter. now, unless of course, it little decides to escalate further. and as as you recall, there was israel that started this by attacking the constant in the first is the ball is in many ways justin israel's. but in biden's court two days ago, we looked into the cameras and said, iran, don't do it. dewine is they didn't heed that advice. but now the question is

what he say the same thing that netanyahu government, because if he doesn't and the israelis move forward with further escalation, then it seems quite likely that the next step will be a full-scale regional war >> there was certainly no appetite for that. there is no appetite region in new and i discussed this last week for further escalation. in fact, the very priority in this region is fought de-escalation a path towards peace and a palestinian horizon. looking at the wider story here in the conflict over the last six months. and this is a very different situation for tech ron, a very different atmosphere then that which they have experienced from this region. and indeed the us over the years to date treat it isn't it? just explain if you will >> you have the region is not looking for any escalation at

all with the excepti i would say the netanyahu government that doesn't have an interest innlarging and prolonging the war i think what ialso qte fascinating and all of this is at if we truly want the escalation then the biden administration that has the most amount of influence that the end of the day cannot pursue a strategy in which is in the region for me, rodsnd his volatile booes except fo israel. lonas it alwing israel to have full maneerabily, read em to esca, but it's expecting the otr actors in the region to show restraint ultimately, that is not going leave it the escalation in fact, has led to the very situation that we're faced with today. if biden from the outset had put pressure from all parts to show restraint, including these ravens by going for a ceasefire, we would t be in this current situation

the absence of political path foard , is as a number of >> people have pointed out, absolutely aggravating factor here. but if we look very specifically at what is going on with regard to her on and israel and this in an unprecedented wave of attacks how do you understand what do you understand to be? the perspective in tech ron, will they be satisfied and they being the supreme leader and his very close of leadership the revolutionary gobbled this be a satisfactory exercise and operation, given that there would be no casualties has been no real impact on israeli assets at this 0.99% of those missiles were intercepted before they actually reached israeli at territory the rise

are probably going to try to exaggerate the damage that was done. and i suspect also that there is a bit of under estimation on the israeli side of what the damage was. but ultimately, i think if the iranians managed to make sure that there isn't any further escalation from this they will then claim that they have restored their deterrence. that israel realized any further attacks by it on iranian embassies or iranian officials will be responded to. and as a result, there will be at the escalation and that is what the line is that the von is most likely are going to let's for it, however, israelis escalate further there. i think it's going be very difficult for the iranians internally to be able to say that they're attack was because it would have led to award at the volume, people absolutely do not want. and frankly, that the barnea is really cannot afford to fight by them yeah, a very big

calculation for the israelis at this point we'll israel try and take out iran's drone and ballistic missile capabilities. would that be a proportionate? response? i mean, there are many, many questions out there at present, certainly from the washington perspective, there is a real push now to consider this a win on the israeli side, given that the lack of impacts of what was this unprecedented wave of strikes? street good to have you are breaking news coverage, continuous >> i've been trying world with my music >> now. i want to focus on what's happening to our planet carbon, a >> cnn films sunday, april 21 at nine >> you know what's brilliant >> think about it during is the unsung catalyst for bolt. what's drops mold, do a rocket and hurdles and into space.

>> mean, look >> around certainly is trying to send a message here. this happened just before this retaliation, given that ship was then diverted to iranian waters. now, this goes through the strait of hormuz and a reminder, becky, as everyone there in the region knows, it is the critical choke point, especially when it comes to energy supplies one and five barrels of oil goes through the strait of hormuz each and every day and iran intends to use this as a strategic asset, reminding the biden administration that look, they can disrupt that vital supply route if they want two and when that happens, it means that the price of oil will spike. now, becky, we have had a run-up in the price of oil in the last few days, we're actually nearing six month highs on a lot of different benchmarks. but here's the thing i wouldn't be surprised to see oil prices going lower in early into the week because they will assume that this incident is now over, but it is a very, very potent reminder to the biden administration that they

should try and convince netanyahu to not retaliate on this one. the reason is the biden administration very vulnerable to energy price shocks, right now, gas prices, given the political campaign that is underway and they will want to see that very crucial de-escalation that you've been talking about now to really take place. and this is a reminder that iran is giving everyone that we will continue to disrupt what we can in the global economy if this does not go our way paula newton on the story for us. paula important insight there. thank you >> wael, after the >> break and as israel decides what it's next steps will be after what was precedented attack. iran issues a warning any future aggression will be met with an even stronger response tomorrow night, those

preferred better science, better results >> rawlins says, the attack on israel was self-defense after israel struck their consulate in damascus on april the 1st. welcome back. you're watching breaking news here on cnn tech ron is calling its retaliation a response to quote, repeated military aggressions of the zionist regime. iran says the matter can be considered, concluded for now, but they're un ambassador says, if israel uses military aggression, again, the next retaliation will be even stronger from on israel denies tech runs claim that the building in syria, april the 1st, was a consulate saying it was instead a military building of quds

forces. well, as an aside, iran's attack is a direct contradiction to what prime minister benjamin netanyahu said a year ago. he said that judicial reform would not weaken the country's security. cnn spoke earlier to barack ravid, are political and global affairs analyst about this >> one of the most popular twitter accounts in, since the war started is an israeli twitter account. nobody knows who's operating it, but it's called news from a year ago. and today when the iranians, shortly before they fire their drones and their cruise missiles, this account posted a video of netanyahu from a year ago where he pushed back on the warnings from the intelligence services that the judicial over for all that is pushing is creating a damages to israeli security and is encouraging israel's enemies to attack it.

and back at the time, exactly year ago, he said israel's enemies will never attack us because they know it will be a mistake. and i think that when you put those two together, i think many, many israelis look at what's going on the war in gaza is stuck. there's no hostage deal insight hizballah's still shelling the northern border and israel, it's being attacked directly from iran. i don't think anybody thought this is where israel is going, it's going to be a year ago all right. ravid, that i'm becky anderson and i will be right back with more breaking >> news after this short break
