its actions. >> we will choose our response according. >> israel is under international pressure to de-escalate this conflict, considering the iranian attack caused little damage. officials tell abc's matt gutman there are multiple options for retaliation from a targeted strike on an iranian commander in a third country to an attack directly on iran. and it seems the security establishment here in israel is convinced that they have to reestablish deterrence against iran to send the signal that this cannot happen again. but i'm told that every move is being carefully calibrated, not to squander this defensive coalition. the u.s. built to protect israel. iran's attack on israel coming less than two weeks after a suspected israeli airstrike in syria killed two iranian generals, president biden has warned israel the u.s. will not participate in any counteroffensive against iran. this all happening against the backdrop of the war in gaza, where israel is battling hamas, the militant group funded by

for you, miss hutchins would be alive. >> she was a scapegoat. you look at her role and what the other people's role was. several people talk about producers today and what they did and how they rushed environment. they created the safety problems. >> alec baldwin's trial will begin in july. now to a developing story concert giant live nation, owner of ticketmaster, could face a major lawsuit from the government. >> one potential issue ticket fees. here's abc's lionel moise this morning. >> a potential legal challenge for live nation, the parent company of ticketmaster. the justice department is expected to file an antitrust lawsuit against live nation entertainment. the wall street journal reports. the suit will allege the nation's biggest concert promoter has leveraged its dominance in a way that undermined competition for ticketing live events. the two companies merged in 2010 despite concerns about a potential monopoly. cause, baby, now we can get. as post-pandemic concerts boomed. taylor swift

accusations it's denied the company, saying it has no interest in threatening or retaliating against venues that consider or choose other ticketing companies. it's unclear what this antitrust lawsuit could seek, whether the government would potentially try to break up the company, or not, the wall street journal reports. the lawsuit is expected in the coming weeks. rhiannon. andrew. >> all right. lionel, thank you for that. a new warning about the impact of climate change on the oceans. noaa says the world is experiencing a new coral bleaching event. more than half the world's coral reef areas have seen bleaching in the last year, including parts of florida. it could be the worst on record. the reefs are home to countless marine species. >> yeah, this is a really big deal. the ocean is just systematically getting warmer. but one of the important things to note is that we still have time. we have time to keep leaning into some of the solutions that we are going forward with, trying to fight some of the challenges of
