| 0:00.0 | Good evening and welcome to this special edition of Outfront, The War with Iran, live from the Middle East, and tonight we are in Tel Aviv. |
| 0:16.4 | And we've got the breaking news. The war is expanding and intensifying this hour. |
| 0:20.8 | A U.S. official says that the U.S. will start, quote, striking progressively deeper into Iran. |
| 0:27.4 | As I said, that's the direct quote of where we are tonight in this intensifying war. |
| 0:31.5 | I'm about to speak to an Iranian-American journalist, a former CNN correspondent, in fact, who is courageously reporting from inside Iran tonight, from a devastated Tehran. |
| 0:41.8 | And he's going to tell you firsthand what he's actually seeing on the ground there. A rare and powerful and painful eyewitness. |
| 0:49.1 | This, as the war is escalating tonight as I speak, 10 countries across northern Europe. |

| 1:50.7 | We don't know the complete toll. Also today, NATO air defense system shot down an Iranian |
| 1:55.8 | missile that was going over Turkey. Turkey, of course, is NATO. It was traveling towards Turkey's airspace. |
