Look at the range of these operations, nuclear facilities, missile installations, and also senior leadership.

Does that look to you like an attempt at regime decapitation, regime change?

It certainly looks right now, Jim, like it is an effort to decapitate the nuclear and the military leadership.

We haven't seen them go after the political leadership, at least as far as we know.

And I'm not sure whether they have the specificity of targeting to be able to do that.

But two other things jump out at me at this.

You know, for years, Jim, you and I have covered events where the Israelis and sometimes the United States have taken some pretty deep pokes at the Natanz nuclear enrichment site, which is, of course, the heart and soul of the Iranian program.

They never, however, actually went to try to bomb it.

And it is somewhat hardened and underground, not deep underground, but underground.

And we don't know right now whether they achieved their main target here, which was to try to destroy, as Orrin suggested before, the heart of the nuclear program. We don't know if they've made any attempt to go after the

other major facility for the nuclear program, the Fordo enrichment site, which is deep underneath a

mountain, about a half mile under that mountain, and probably beyond Israel's reach.

And we don't know about whether they have gone after all the rest of the nuclear infrastructure and missile infrastructure.

If they did, then it might be harder for Iran to respond the way the Iranians feel

like they should because their own missile program has been

crippled to some degree. To me, by the way, one of the most striking things tonight was the

fact that Secretary of State and Acting National Security Advisor Marco Rubio has issued a statement

just a few minutes ago. There is one thing

that is not written in this statement. He did not say that the U.S. supports Israel.

I think this is something that I cannot remember when a Secretary of State of the United States

during wartime between Israel and adversary and its like arc enemy like Iran, and the Secretary

of State of the United States puts out the statement and does not say that the U.S. supports Israel.
