tell us a little bit more about the uk response then. publicly supportive of israel as we heard from the u.s.. >> we know that the uk has moved raf jets to the region. we know that raf jets were involved in some capacity in israel, in defense of israel last night. specifically whether they shot down any iranian drones or missiles is not clear. there is no direct confirmation from the ministry of defense. what the government has said is that those jets being moved to the region as part of operation shader. to counter islamic states in iraq and syria. however, those jets were also authorized to shoot down iranian drones if they needed to. so the involvement feels a little bit more second-order than the u.s. mission over there. it may well be that the raf have more of a support role, and some back for the u.s. jets on existing missions. in terms of the language we've been getting from uk senior ministers, he issued a statement overnight condemning, as he said, in the strongest terms, the reckless attack against israel. talking about how the

so rocco what has the uk response been done? we we know rf jets were involved in the defense of israel overnight, that potentially was more in a support capacity. we also know from the the defense update overnight, the uk has decided to move more rf jets and refueling tankers to the region. saying these would intercept any airborne attacks that were in range of any uk missions in the region. so that is practically what is going on militarily. in terms of the language that is coming out from the uk overnight it is very much focused on condemning the iranian attack toward israel. but also urging de-escalation, as well. the prime minister, rishi sunak, released a statement overnight in which he said he condemned in the strongest terms the iranian regime's reckless attack, the strikes risk employment tensions and destabilizing the region. iran has once again and demonstrated its intent on sewing chaos in his own backyard. he said that the uk would stand by israel's security and all of its regional partners and is working to stabiliz

apparently the uk is being an alternate code holder and cheerleader by joining in the fray. this is not what needs to happen. israel has behaved recklessly. it has behaved dangerously. iran has also behaved recklessly and dangerously. we do not need to be pouring gasoline on this fire, which is apparently what we are doing. i think that is a huge mistake. >> obviously both israel and iran would say the other party is responsible for escalating it. israel is obviously still traumatized is probably the right word to use over the october 7th attacks, which were, shook the country to its core. you mentioned grown-ups in the room. do you have any hope that the u.s. is trying to possibly rein in the israeli response? that would be your help and if so, do you think they have the ability and the influence to do so? >> they do have the ability and influence, no doubt. reagan did it, eisenhower did it, george herbert walker bush did it. this administration has been loath to use that influence. they have made comments about we wish you would do this, we wish you wouldn't do that but wi

we're also hearing from prime minister richie's neck in the uk in the last few minutes, saying in his own statement that alongside our allies we are urgently working to stabilize the situation and prevent further escalation. the message that we will continue to hear, the drumbeat that is starting to emerge, is one of restraint. in that statement that president biden just released talking about his call with netanyahu, he says he told the israeli prime minister that israel demonstrated a remarkable capacity to defend itself against and defeat unprecedented attacks. the president going on to say that they had sent a clear message to its those that they cannot effectively threaten the security of israel. if you read between the lines just a little bit, the president seems to be saying, in this message delivered to netanyahu, now publicly and presumably privately as well, you made your point, you've established not only to terrence, but shown that you can defend yourself against iran, no need to escalate further. no need to prove anything more. i now attacking inside iran, the way prime m

i know the uk has been very involved in defending israel by shooting down some of those drones. >> that's right. unanimous response from european nations really has been to condemn this iranian strike and to urge tehran to de- escalate. we know israel has formally requested that the un security council meet tomorrow to discuss and respond to this iranian strike, we are waiting on confirmation exactly when that meeting might take place, but in the meantime we know that right now, israel's military chief of staff is holding a situational assessment with his military aids. israel will want to be getting to the bottom right now, not only of the full extent of the damage which is an evolving picture, last time we heard from the idf they said that the vast majority of these iranian drones and missiles have been shot down outside of israeli territory. but they're going to want to get a handle on what, if anything, is still in the air right now. is there more potentially coming israel's way? because no one right now is letting their guard down, even though we appear to be, right now, in a period

the united states, uk, and others helped. iran, it's useless to do this but message has been sent. >> that's right. i think that -- they have a dilemma and choice. and the message from the white house is jack reed calling for prudence on the part of israel. so that's definitely the advice coming from the united states. please don't escalate further. you know, this could get out of control, and i think israel will have to respond somehow. i think that will be certain. the question is to what degree, at what level can they calibrate their response so that we don't have a direct, you know, open-ended war between israel and iran? you there is one take away here. israel's air defenses seemed to have worked very well and they poured a lot of money into that with a of u.s. help but if this is accurate -- we still don't know all the details -- but it seems to suggest that they were able to fend off dozens of drones and ballistic missiles. you said they had plenty of time to prepare and they knew this was coming and i don't think this
