U.S. officials confirm Iran launches drones toward Israel

NBC News' Richard Engel reports from Jerusalem where air defenses have been intensified across the region as U.S. officials confirm that Iran has launched multiple drones toward Israel. The move fulfills Iran's promise to retaliate against Israel, accusing it of bombing the embassy in Syria earlier this month.

Just a reminder: we have a planet that is in deep trouble..

What these governments and leaders are doing is the height of irresponsibility and madness.

[eliassalcedo]

It's like Netanyahu, is practically calling for this to happen.

[Everyonehasanopinion]

It would look good on Israel if the U.S. recalled their forces and let Netanyahu deal with this. He started this, let him clean it up. He knew this would happen.

[fadyNUFC]

What was israel expecting wheb they atacked iranian embassy??? Flowers😂😂😂

[moos]

Be careful how you report this. The Golan Heights are NOT Israel territory, they are Syrian territory that is currently occupied by Israel. It's basically the same as with the Iranian embassy in Syria, it's not a direct attack on the other nation.

[Jackie-wnhx]

I guess you can forget about American aid ever being cut now that Iran is involved. The IDF is getting even more US military assistance now.

[LuckyFoxes]

Say it with me. Isreal is not our problem. Let them handle it.

[wzt]

Israel bombed their embassy what do you expect would happen.

[alexanderthehammer]

This is an Israeli accountability problem, not an American problem.

[MyCentsYall]

Netanyahu to America Do NOT interfere with our internal affairs as the conflict gets bigger and bigger. NOBODY is fine with Genocide NOBODY so yeah your going to get much blow back.

[johnnydoe]

Netanyahu will Start a War, if it will
Keep him in Power and far away
from Prosecution for Corruption. 🤣🤣

[gamerxplanetx]

If this is not escalation of a world war, you are in denial

[sethfroman]

This situation is because of Israel. They just bombed an Iranian Embassy a few days ago… did u think Iran wouldn’t respond?

[stevenkaufman]

The military industrial complex in high gear

[reamoinmcdonachadh]

Opening shots of WW3? Maybe/Maybe not. But yes, this will not end well.

[noffas]

Can we just keep our nose out of this? Israel attacked them 1st so this should be expected.

[eddiearmijo]

Where O Where is Netanyahu Hiding, Like He Did on Oct 7th.

[bozok]

Restrictions on geatherings... What a quensidence just few hours before this attack, there were geathering of 100 000

[Mithuulion]

[davidmcintosh]
