himself up at the iranian consulate has been arrested. he was seen four hours again carrying what looked like explosive vest. we don t know if the claims are true. more on this in moments. let s move to the middle east. also on this hour from overnight israel has been on offense. the jewish state striking iran. is this the end of it or are we still in the beginning of a new stage of conflict and what would that conflict look like? wow. good morning. a busy friday already. i m bill hemmer. dana: we re shot out of a cannon this morning. i m dana perino and this is america s newsroom. great to be with you. somewhere we know at this hour. a military source saying the strikes were limited in scope. one of the tehran s nuclear facility is located. fox confirms it was neither nuclear or civilian. you have the anti-israeli
attack on israel. they were limited in scope. did not target civilians or nuclear facilities. iran labeled it aggression and called for more attacks on israel but iran looks like they are standing down. bill: trump s fate in the hands of 12 new yorkers very soon we should say. judge merchan took the bench a moment ago. court underway and fox news legal editor kerri kupec urbahn is with us now. one thing that stuck out at me. trump s attorneys says will you identify your first three witnesses and they said no. and then the judge said that s okay with him, too, because they are afraid trump will reveal their identity. if it s michael cohen don t we already know who he? it seems a little out of order. makes it hard to prepare. bill: how would you approach that as an attorney? i guess the question is, is this
cases on this and start going into search warrants and subpoenas and pulling communications you ll see some of the funding mechanisms that fund democratic candidates and that will get into very uncomfortable area for d.o.j. it puts the administration in a tough spot. it comes down to columbia to expel these students. i don t think we ll get a lot out of law enforcement. bill: we have video of those cheering those who came out of jail. brooke, final question. if the war with hamas were to end do you think the protests would end? i m happy you asked that question. bill: or is this the story of 2024 going into the summer and then the fall? i m happy you asked that because in reality, this has nothing to do with israel/hamas. israel is a decoy. it is just being used as an excuse to stir up and to
military source this was a very targeted and specific strike in the central region in iran. it is a significant location being it is so close to the capital of tehran. but near the nuclear facility. the site was not hit. the strike appeared to target a nearby iranian air base. but it clearly shows that israel has the capability to hit the area. and when it wants to. now when it comes to reaction from both countries involved, iran has been seemingly down playing this whole event. the only comments we ve heard from iran were explosions were heard and they were caused by iran s air defense system shooting down three drones. so far haven t heard any reaction from any israeli officials or military spokes people here in israel. we likely will not today. it is their strategy is to not comment on these targeted
strikes. we do know the war cabinet is meeting at some point today talking about this as well as the ongoing war in gaza and the growing tensions we re tracking in the north along the lebanon/israel border with hezbollah. dana: sometimes you don t need words to make a big statement. thank you. bill: general jack keane has been terrific on this from the beginning. good morning. here is what i don t get. jerusalem post reported today israel will not accept responsibility for strategic reasons. iran claims it was an explosion at a factory. israeli sources aren t saying why the pentagon and american military reporting israel did this. how would you address that if indeed all of this is true out of jerusalem? it seems to make sense to me. let s back this up a little bit and what was the major question the war cabinet is trying to resolve is what are we trying to achieve? i think what they came to the
