Let's go right to Trey Yanks, who is there in Tel Aviv with the latest.

Trey.

Emily.

Trey, thank you and stay safe.

And now to President Trump earlier today, boasting about how the U.S.

strikes have largely, quote, knocked out Iran's military.

It's been knocked out.

And Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivering an epic smackdown to critics before briefing Congress on the strikes.

Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.

They have an ambition to have nuclear weapons.

They intend to develop those nuclear weapons behind a program of missiles and drones and terrorism that the world will not be able to touch them for fear of those things.

And this is the weakest they've ever been.

Now is the time to go after them.

The president made the decision to go after them, take away their missiles, take away their navy, take away their drones, take away their ability to make those things so that they can never have a nuclear weapon.

That's why the president made this decision.

Dana, successful messaging indeed.

And do you see this operation as being successful, too?

Well, I mean, yes, so far.

And I think that even actually the president and Rubio are the ones saying, let's just take a beat, guys.

This is we're in this for the long haul.
