weekend's unprecedented drone and missile attack. good morning, and good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. israel has been warning it would retaliate, and today cbs news has confirmed it did less than one week after iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at the jewish state. tehran is downplaying the attack which happened in the city of isfahan, about 260 miles south of the capital of tehran. all sides are being tightlipped, and details are very preliminary. jarred hill is here to help us sort things out. >> still early with this, but here is what we know right now -- two u.s. officials have confirmed here that israel's missile did hit iran overnight. a senior israeli official told "the washington post" that the strike was intended to signal to iran that israel can attack its territory. state media posted this video of iran's air defense shooting down what they called mini drones near isfahan.

and iran concerning with escalation between the two countries. do we know if the u.s. was given any advanced warning of the strike? >> yeah, a source for "reuters" said that the united states actually did receive notifications before israel's attack. remember this all comes just days after iran fired hundreds of drones and missiles at israel in response to what they say was an israeli attack on an iranian embassy. the white house has been working to squash the back and forth, and we haven't heard a lot from u.s. officials and leaders yet, but secretary of state antony blinken had already been scheduled to have a press conference later this morning. he's in italy meeting with g7 foreign ministers. we are definitely going to be watching to see what he says. >> uh-huh. at this point more than ever we are focusing on these words -- this, what messaging they are giving to themselves and to the world. thank you so much. >> thank you.
