Support for territories throughout the region, addressed it through sanctions, Military Force posture, do what we have to do to protect ourselves our troops. Nobody is turning away from that threat or their historic and sustained support for these territory groups. John, just a followup to what peter asked, two questions, i assume when the president said aid is not getting fast enough to gaza that hes not critiquing our efforts to get it there. And without Hanging A Hook On who is responsible, is he saying that more can be done from our end . Is there more that can be done to get the aid to them . I think he was referring to actors in the region. And then the second question, for many years you are going to meet with the Australian Government and they have supported the release of Julian Assange. We have not done so saying there were National Security reasons. For the reasons that he has been charged are basically the same efforts that many reporters use, so is there any Change Of Hear

cabinet members about what to do. the real they re really felt the need to respond in some kind way. so there were a whole menu of options. one thing that we could have seen tonight instead was israel striking back against proxy groups in iraq and syria. and that wouldn t have been nearly as serious as what we re seeing now, which is a direct strike by israel against iran but in a rather limited way. so clearly, the hope is here, despite the fact that they re not listening to the us and basically ignoring the us request to not do this. they re not doing it in a massive way. we don t believe that israel has gone after a nuclear facility. we don t believe that israel has necessarily gone after multiple sites in iran. they are clearly michael trying to thread this needle of responding to the iranian attack, trying to reestablish deterrence. but at the same time, hoping perhaps that this does not provoke a massive iranian response. i think there s the best-case scenario
it be for israel to be spread out like that in a military sense it does raise the concern in my mind that israel is now confronting multiple fronts simultaneously and the iranians can retaliate in ways without necessarily are israel directly from iran. they can activate hezbollah, for example, in southern lebanon to launch a large-scale attacks into northern israel they can use proxy forces in iraq and syria to launch attacks as well so i do think there is a risk there, particularly if the israelis do go ahead with their plans to intervene in raffa that the iranians could take advantage of that and try and do something in the north. and of course, as i said a precedent has been set. so around could then choose to a strike against israel. but the iranians do have to now consider that maybe their ability to strike and their ability to defend is not as effective as they would have liked. yeah. yeah. alex marquardt was reporting earlier the us
