1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: And Amanda gam Nation. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 2: Well after saying he was going to give around two 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: weeks to sort out what they wanted to do. President Trump, 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 2: as we know, pressed the button bombing three Arenian nuclear 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: sites are momentuily entering into that skirmish. What does it mean? 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: So I thought we'd go straight to the Seven News 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 2: Europe correspondent Jacqueline Robson, who was in Jordan. Hello, Jackie, 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: how are you hello there? 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: I'm actually in Tel Aviv in Israel, a bit closer 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: to the action. You're hearing lots of bombs and stuff. Oh, 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: we certainly did. At seven o'clock this morning. That was 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: a run retaliating with force. We were in the bunker 13 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: here in the hotel and the explosions were incredibly loud. 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: It's the biggest barrage we've had since we've been here 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: at least, and it's incredible to hear. You don't know 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: if it's the Iron Dome intercepting these ballistic missiles or 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: if they've actually made landfall. But as we emerged, we 18 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: found out that it hadn't sat penetrated. Israel's air defenses 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: were a residential area in northern Tel Aviv where a 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: building was just completely obliterated. The buildings all around, apartment blocks, 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: people's belongings just falling out of homes and you know, 22 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: people's living rooms. That was a mangled mess of all 23 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: different types of stuff and residents there, you know, picking 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: through what they could that had suitcases trying to gather 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: you know, the few belongings that were remaining, and it 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: was quite an upsetting scene. You know, they were very 27 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: you know, they're in shock, they were stressed, but alive. 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: There was incredibly no death and that's because these bunkers, 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: they're so well built, and that alarm system triggers and 30 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: people know to get to the safe spot, and yeah, 31 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: it's saved countless lives, no doubt. 32 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: Well, I guess people had been wondering how Iran was 33 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: going to respond. I read this morning that the Parliament 34 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: in Iran has approved a measure to close the Strait 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: of Hormuz, the vital shipping channel through which twenty percent 36 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: of the world's oil and gas flows. What will that 37 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: mean for everybody? A billion dollars in oil every day 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 2: if that closes economic disaster. 39 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a crucial shipping lane and it's just 40 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: going to mean sky high prices for oil, and that's 41 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: going to trickle down into economies worldwide inflation. You know, 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: you think of the flow on effects of that and 43 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: whether or not, you know, world leaders can talk with 44 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: Iran and maybe talk them down from this decision, but 45 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: this stage, it seems Iran doesn't want to talk anymore, 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: and you know that they're going full steam ahead with retaliating. 47 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: They're deeply embarrassed. This all happened in the middle of 48 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: the night, right under their noses. The you know, US 49 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: assets were in and out before they could even realize 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: what had happened. And Trump says, the you know, nuclear 51 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: sites are completely obliterated. Whether or not that's the case, 52 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: there has been a more toned down language from other 53 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: people from the White House that there was significant damage 54 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: and that type of thing. So we will have to 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: wait and see. It's not yet clear if those sites 56 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: have been completely destroyed, but certainly Trump has used the 57 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: word obliterated. 58 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: Wow, Jacqueline, stay strong and stay stay safe, and thank 59 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: you for keeping us in forward. We appreciate it. 60 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 1: Okay, thanks guys, Thank you. Jacqueline Robson that
