Lets return to our top story fears of an iranian attack on israel. The white house says its a real and viable threat, and that theyre watching as closely as they can. Earlier today, a us official told our broadcast partner cbs that strikes could start as early as today although nothing is certain and other outcomes are possible. We can talk to the director of the middle east security initiative. Welcome to the programme. In terms of what we have heard from that us official, what is your take on this .

Be an itack on israel. egypt has already weighed ip. you might listen to jordan and some of the others in the region to see what their take is on it. the separate part of this is are there any iranian proxies that start to speak up this morning and talk about retaliations. i d be looking to the houthis and in yemen, any of the iranian backed militias in syria and iraq as well. those would be key voices to listen to today, to get some sort of idea would we see some sort of asymmetric attack, regional attack on a u.s. or israeli target. the last one not to be overlooked is hezbollah. there has been some back and forth exchange of air strikes and rocket fire between israel and hezbollah the last few days right after that iranian barrage last weekend. that would be a key voice to listen to. clint, not a neighbor in this region but certainly someone with ties to it. what s the role of russia here especially given the ways iran has backed them in ukraine. could we expect any role from ....
To take down these missiles, he s asking for the s-300 and others like that. the big picture, much of the missiles and the aircraft that are launching missiles are still in russian air space, so i think part of the reason you see hesitation by president biden and nato allies is are we going to give aircraft to ukraine that will be flown into russia, would russia see that as offensive. if we were going to do a no-fly zone, the an aaircraft systems of russia engage western pilots, they would engage nato, they would engage the ukrainians. how would that be handled? i think over time you ll see more movement towards doing this, but the logistics and the red lines we re figuring out with vooun, if that escalation happens and his troops are doing terrible on the ground in the country, what might he resort to in order to do an asymmetric attack? that could be cyber, nuclear, could definitely be chemical weapons. thanks to both of you. ....
I went over to breitbart, it was also about jeff zucker and the media. it just seems striking to me, i don t think it s a coincidence these two things are happening at the same time. oh, no, it absolutely isn t. people get their marching orders and they know exactly where to march. i would slightly disagree with olivia. i think the first network that turns its camera on in defiance of white house orders number one will be meyer personal heroes and role model, but number two will get some wonderful, exclusive video of shawn spider hurling himself on the camera lens or something. but that s what i mean by responding asymmetrically to an asymmetric attack. the problem with that, olivia, to your point, that puts you in a position where you have allowed yourself to play the role that s been carved out by the white house. you immediately look like the ....
I think the first network that turns its camera on in defiance of white house orders number one will be meyer personal heroes and role model, but number two will get some wonderful, exclusive video of shawn spider hurling himself on the camera lens or something. but that s what i mean by responding asymmetrically to an asymmetric attack. the problem with that, olivia, to your point, that puts you in a position where you have allowed yourself to play the role that s been carved out by the white house. you immediately look like the enemy, but the question is, is there a way to handle it to play by that you are riles, which is that there are no rules? i m not sure of the answer on that. the rules do seem out the window at this point. thank you for joining me. that s all for this evening. good evening, rachel. ....
