Trump says Iran will be "hit very hard" as war enters Day 8 | full coverage

apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi Sports Complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaijan, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. >> The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel, according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Thai is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adrian, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet. And it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president Masoud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remainly rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana, >> so as you just mentioned, MTZ, Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh, I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning. Actually, I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah, it is a potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. what they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying, and again I'm quoting here, Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead, his words, the loser of the Middle East, saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again, that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS, what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? I mean the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing. And frankly, Adriana, that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now, for President Trump, that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions, including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. President Trump is hosting leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean today in Dural, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The White House aims to strengthen alliances and boost US influence across the Western Hemisphere. It comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Killian is traveling with the president and she joins us now from Derell. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So the president is saying that Iran is being beaten uh handedly. So what then is the impetus for today's rise in aggression? >> Well, I think keep in mind the context behind this. Obviously, we saw just yesterday the president calling for Iran's unconditional surrender. Uh later clarifying that what he meant by that is that that could potentially mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. And so with that context, obviously even though Iran's president has scoffed at those remarks, the president, as MTS pointed out, I did post a Truth Social today going on to say that Iran will be hit very hard, specifically uh in areas and groups not previously considered in order to address Iran's so-called bad behavior. Nicole, are there any signs that we could be moving closer to having US military troops on the ground in Iran? You know, the White House is playing down reports that the president may be considering or has shown some interest in potentially deploying US troops uh to Iran and to the region. We got a statement from White House press secretary Caroline Levit uh that reads uh that this story is based on assumptions from anonymous sources who are not part of the president's national security team and are clearly not read into these discussions. She goes on to say, however, though that President Trump always wisely keeps all options open. >> And Nicole, walk us through what's expected today at this summit. I mean, the US is focusing so much on the Middle East and yet also on the Western Hemisphere. What can we expect today? >> Yeah, that's right. Well, this is a coalition of leaders from Caribbean and Latin American countries that the president will be addressing and this is really to kind of reaffirm principles around uh democracy, around security, around freedom. Uh we expect uh that the charter will be signed. You can probably see the signing table behind me uh at some point kind of reaffirming these principles uh and really uh honing in again as I mentioned on this issue of security with respect to naroterrorism, narcot trafficking and also stemming the tide of mass migration in the region. So we have already seen for instance uh the leaders from the Dominican Republic, from Honduras, from Argentina uh who were here on site. So, we expect those remarks from the president within the hour. And then, of course, after he addresses those leaders, we do expect him to attend the dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor those six US service members who were killed as part of Operation Epic Fury. The president saying that he will go with the first lady and members of his cabinet to pay what he says is the highest respect to those fallen service members. Adriana, >> and we are thinking of them and their families. Nicole Killian, thank you so much. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our sentcom. So, so we know what's going on and the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks and so the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening whether it's in public or back channelneled is being confronted and confronted strongly. >> The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior and it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hathth telling our Major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong. But whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War is referring to the strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation. here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And the we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much.

We are continuing to follow the latest out of Iran and the expanding war in the Middle East. Let's turn now to CBS News national security contributor Joe Zach. Zach also served as the deputy assistant director for counterterrorism at the CIA. Joe, thank you so much for joining us. Uh we're now a week in exactly particularly with the planning and coordination that the US has had with Israel here. How do you assess where we are right now? >> Well, good morning Adriana and thank you for having me on. First of all, I'd like to note that my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the six fallen soldiers uh who uh uh will be returned this uh morning uh and um and I'm happy to see that our president will be at the dignified transfer ceremony. With respect to the uh military accomplishments, our military and and Israel's military accomplishments um this past week, I would say they have been exceptionally um well delivered and the effects have been very good. First of all, uh we see a virtual elimination of Iran's air defense capabilities. Uh we're also subtly destroying the Iranian Navy and its ability to impact uh shipping through the straight of Hormuz as well as production of regional power. uh we're eliminating a large portion of Iran's ballistic missile launch capabilities and their stock piles. Although I'd hasten to note that uh there is a a good bit of Iranian uh missile uh capability that's uh in underground um in underground facilities and that will take longer to get at. We're also effectively targeting their uh drone capabilities. We're um uh eliminating uh large portions um of the nuclear program that uh were not um completely eliminated. >> So Joe, if if our attacks have been so effective, why do you think the president is announcing that we're going to ratchet up our strikes? Yeah, I think the uh one area where these kind of military operations that have so degraded their military capabilities are um are are difficult to achieve is with respect to regime change. And I think that um the next phase will likely target uh regime related personnel and regime uh survival uh regime facilities related to its survival. I think that's the phase we're going to go into. Joe, as you know, um, regime change has never been brought about by an air assault alone in addition to covert operations on the ground. Do you think we need to see do you think we will see US troops on the ground? >> So, a large deployment of US troops on the ground is something that uh we we would see uh that doesn't just uh present itself overnight and there are no indications that that is uh imminently happening. What I think is more likely to take place is if there are opportunities for the insertion of special operations troops or uh forces from some other uh organizations within our government for surgical precision uh operations that may take place and that may also never get reported. Uh but a large influx of US troops that takes months uh to build up and and we're not seeing that right now. >> All right, Joe Zack, thank you so much. >> Yep. Yeah, as your reporter noted, that is an option that that remains on the table. So, it may may come to that, but we're not seeing it right now. >> All right. Thank you so much, Joe Zach. We appreciate you. >> Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIT Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention. a new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now, we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Avine prison before the start of the war. one of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department, but the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. Um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So So it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh, one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. Um, both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um, medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um, we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um, and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran. Thank you so much. Stay with us here on CBS News 247 throughout the day. We will continue our live coverage of the latest developments from Iran. Also, when President Trump speaks throughout the day, we'll have that for you. And as news breaks in the Middle East, you will see it here live. >> Chilling with the queen. Her name is Gail King.

Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexth talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. What families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran. In a late night truth social post, he says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest >> this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped a 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azani sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaijan, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv, thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adrian, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president, Mass Masoud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes. Over the past week, uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes, also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again, the situation here remainly rather remains extremely All right, we want to take you now to Dorado, Florida, where President Trump is speaking at the Shield of America Summit. The group is made up of Latin and Caribbean leaders. The meeting is being held at the Trump National Dorado Golf Club. Let's watch. >> Great. It is there's no military like it on Earth. Not even close. And we're doing very well in Iran. You see the result. And it's uh it's been amazing. We've knocked out 42 Navy ships, some of them very large in three days. That was the end of the Navy. We knocked out their air force. We knocked out their communications and all telecommunications is gone. I don't know how they communicate, but I guess they they will figure something out. It's not working out too well. And they're bad people. They're just bad people. When you look at October 7th and beyond October 7th, look at all the killing that they've done over the years for 47 years. And this had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They would have had one. If we didn't do our B2 hit, midnight hammer, they would have had it eight months ago. They would have had a nuclear weapon. And you know, they're crazy and they would have used it. So, we did the world a favor and they said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of zero to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "Better a 15, I would say, with 10 being the best. But, uh, it's something that had to be done and we're doing it well." And I want to thank everybody involved. I'll be going right after this. I'll be leaving for Dover. Very sad situation to greet the families of the heroes coming home from Iran. Coming home in a different manner than they thought they'd be coming home. But they're great heroes in our country. And we're going to keep it that way. And there's always when it comes to war, there's always that. But we're going to keep it to a minimum. I think Pete and uh going to be something a service that we're really providing not for the Middle East but for the world. These were sick people, very sick people. This morning I'm honored to welcome distinguished heads of state from across the Western Hemisphere for the first Shield of the America's Summit. And it's something very, very special. Marco's been working on it very hard. so of a lot of other people because it's a very important place for us. It's nice to be home. It's very very important. You know, we go all over the world 9,000 miles away, 12,000 miles away. I said, "How long is this flight?" Sir, this flight is 19 hours. I said, "Oh, that's great." I said, "Uh, now I have flights that last for two hours. I like that better." Much better. But on this historic day, we come together to announce a brand new military coalition to eradicate the criminal cartels plaguing our region. And you have a lot of it. One of the things when we were talking backstage, you were telling me that the crime the the cartels and we're knocking the hell out of them where we can uh we're going to go heavier. You saw what we were doing with the the boats coming in. The boats, there's not a lot of people coming in by boats anymore. We knocked down drugs coming in by sea. Drugs coming in through water is down 96%. We're trying to find out who the other 4% are because I think they're the bravest people in the world. Either that or they don't watch television, right? They're either very brave or they're not watching. But we're calling this military partnership the America's counter cartel coalition. And that's what you need. You have cartels just they seem to grow in this region unbelievably rapidly. Has to do with drugs largely. Earlier this week here in Miami, Secretary of War Pete Hexa, who's right here, Pete, you're fantastic, doing a great job. We're proud of you. And representatives of 17 different nations formally entered this new alliance. The heart of our agreement is a commitment to using lethal military force to destroy the sinister cartels and terrorist networks. Once and for all, we'll get rid of them. We need your help. You have to just tell us where they are. We have amazing We have amazing weaponry as you probably noticed over the last short period of time. But I want to thank members of the coalition, most of whom are friends of mine. Few of them I just met, but most of whom are friends, many of whom I endorsed and they took that endorsement and they went on to win big. I haven't I haven't had a bad endorsement yet, right? >> He says yes. He was happy. He was a couple of points down and went up like a rocket ship, right, in Argentina. But the president of Argentina is here, Javier Mille, thank you very much. Thank you very much for being here. president of El Salvador. Another friend, Nabe Bukali. You know, uh he is a a man who we've gotten very close to. I saw him as a young man my first time. You were young and handsome. Now you're older and handsome. You're older and handsome. But he runs a good operation. That's all I care about. Right. When I first saw him, I said, "He's too young." And then I saw the job he did. I said, "Well, I guess he's not too young." Because I was young and did well. But you've been a great president and we appreciate the relationship very much. President of Paraguay, Santiago Pena. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. President of Ecuador, Danielle Noboa. Danielle, thank you. Thank you, Danielle. President of Panama. I love that canal. Jose, I think he made the greatest deal in history. He bought it for $1. One of our brilliant presidents. I can't sleep over that deal. They gave it to him for $1. Jose Raul Molino. Where is Do you know you made one of the greatest real estate deals in history? Jimmy Carter, one of our one of our great presidents, president of Honduras, Tito Espora. Thank you, Tito. Thank you very much. Great to see you the other day. President of Guyana Ali, thank you. President of Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz. Thank you very much. Great people. Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. And I have to be very careful with this because you know your word, your first name is very similar to a first name that we have. But fortunately, it's pronounced different. Camela opposed to Camela. I like Camela better in many ways. And I just want to say thank you very much. But I had to be careful with that first name. I didn't want to get it. I didn't want to get it mixed up because it would ruin your reputation completely. I said, "Is this the same pronunciation?" No, sir. It's a little different. It's Cam, right? Cam as opposed to Cam. We don't like comm. President of Costa Rica, Rodrigo Chavez, as well as the president-elect of Costa Rica, Laura Fernandez Delgado. So, thank you very much. Thank you very much. and the president of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinadair. And uh so many of my friends are in the Dominican, including the sugar king. Right. He is a he is indeed the sugar king. He got a lot of sugar. I don't know if that's good or bad, but he's got a lot of it. Right. But we're grateful to be joined as well by the president-elect of Chile, Jose Cast. Congratulations. It's an endorsement. Gave a little endorsement. I love when I give endorsements and people win. But you know what? They don't lose. You know, I don't know. I guess it would be illegal. Could you imagine if I could? They spend millions and millions and millions of dollars on a campaign. They're losing and they beg me for an endorsement. I give them an endorsement. They win by 30 points and I get nothing. If I could sell that, is there a way? Do we have any of our legal people here? A little Marco's close enough. Is there a way I could get paid for that, Marco? I'd make a lot. They spend millions of dollars and I give it for nothing. I could even if I put it into the Treasury of the United States, it would be pretty good, right, Marco? But Marco is saying that's not a good idea. No, but it's an honor to do. It's an honor to have that power where I can endorse somebody. and even in foreign countries. here it was uh this we had one in uh this week 124 and0 with endorsements and so that's good but now I'm doing foreign countries all of a sudden say sir would you endorse me and it's an honor if I like you I only do it if I think you're good you know if I think you're not good I've turned down many more than I've accepted believe me I want to thank Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his leadership in organizing this really important summit he's fantastic He's he's a fantastic Secretary of State. And thus far, look, we've had the most incredible year of any president, I think, by, you know, I ended eight wars. We're not going to go into it too much today, but what we've done is incredible. And uh we're going to be uh we're going to be doing some incredible things together because I look at our region, if I can call it that, as being very important. has been abandoned by the United States for so many years. You know, they went so far away. They went to these far away places where they weren't even wanted and uh a lot of stupid people, really stupid people. But Marco is going to go down, I think, is the best secretary of state in history. That's my opinion. Now, I'm a little prejudice because I like him, too. But I think he's he's on his way. So you've done 25%, you got 75%. He's got three years left. So he's got 25% under your belt so far. You're leading. You're very leading by just about a smidge over a couple of pretty great ones. We've had a couple of pretty great ones, right? But I think he's going to do that. And I think Pete's right there, too. If Pete keeps going, he's going to be something, too. And what he does. All of the nations in this room share the same priorities. security, prosperity, free commerce, and the rule of law. And you want the rule of law. Sometimes your communities don't let you have it because you got some rough you got some rough communities, man. That's why together we're also forming the Shield of Americas, a new organization to advance these shared priorities in our hemisphere. And we're pleased to be joined as well by secretaries Pete Haggath, Scott Bessant. Scott, thank you very much, Scott. Oh, it has to be a big deal if you're here. Well, he controls the purse strings of the country. You know, he goes on television and he just soothes everybody. He did it yesterday. The prices were going. He he got on. He's a soothing person. He's actually a killer, but I don't want to say that. No, he's a soothing person. and he goes on television, right, Pete? I think nobody better. So, we could use him for war every once in a while, you know, soothe. Although, we don't really want that kind of a personality for war. We want your personality for war. You're just perfect. Howard Letic. Thank you, Howard. Chris Wright, Christine Nome, along with US Trade Representative Jameson Greer, who you all know and you deal with. You deal very successfully. I ask Jameson all the time, can you get more? Can you get more? He's the king of tariffs, right? But he's very gentle. We want to be very gentle with our friends, right, Jameson? Deputy Secretary of State Chris Lando. Chris, where is Chris? I haven't seen Chris. He's fantastic. Was an incredible student. He went to the best schools and he was number one in his class at all times. And Marco saw that and saw the talent he's got and she said, "That's the guy I want as a deputy." And I heard you're doing a great job. Thank you very much. Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller. Stephen is I don't have to tell you anything about Stephen. Everyone knows. There's nothing Stephen. There's nothing I can say. He's fantastic. That's all I can say. And Senator Bernie Marino, who's incredible friend of mine. And he ran a great race. He was not given much of a chance. He was running against a person who was there for a long time and was sort of considered a shoe in. Right, Bernie? We knocked him out. We knocked him out. He's trying to make a comeback, but we took him out. And Bernie's done a great job. For decades, leaders in this region have allowed large swats of territory of the Western Hemisphere to come under the direct control and transnational gangs have taken over and they've run areas of your country. We're not going to let that happen. We'll help you. And bloodthirsty cartels that impose their will through murder, torture, extortion, drug trafficking, bribery, and terror. And some of you are in danger. I mean, you're actually in danger. It's hard to believe, but we're working with you to do whatever we have to do. We'll use missiles. If you want us to use a missile, they're extremely accurate. Right into the living room. That's the end of that cartel person, but we uh we'll do whatever you need if you want. A lot of countries don't want to do that. They say, "Oh, sure. I'd rather not have that. I'd rather not have I believe they could be spoken to." I don't think so. Many of them don't want and that's okay too. You're going to do you. But if you need help, you're going to let us know. Okay. Many of the cartels have developed sophisticated military operations. Highly sophisticated. In some cases, they say they're more powerful than the military in the country. Can't have that. These brutal criminal organizations pose an unacceptable threat to national security and they provide a dangerous gateway for foreign adversaries in our region. And then we don't want them near our country either. We don't want them to come in. They're cancer. You know, they're cancer and we don't want it spreading. We have a very strong border. You know, we have a border now where for nine months zero people have been able to come through. It's hard to believe actually because we had we went from 25 million people coming in over the Biden, Sleepy Joe Biden, one of the worst presidents in history of the world. He was the worst president in the history of our country. We've had some pretty bad ones recently. We've had some pretty bad ones, but he's the worst. But he's he would go down as one of the worst in the world. I'm going to up his category now. Horrible what he what he did. And what he didn't do was probably worse than what he did. Every leader here today is united in the conviction that we cannot and will not tolerate the lawlessness in our hemisphere any longer. The only way to defeat these enemies is by unleashing the power of our militaries. We have to use our military. You have to use your military. You can't fight these people with and you have great police. You have some great police, but they threaten your police. They scare your police. They're going to use your military. In many cases, our forces have already been working closely with yours. And the United States looks forward to deepening and expanding that cooperation in the months ahead. And it's so good that we got to know so many of you. I mean, so many. And I I'd love to get to your countries at some point. Marco loves going to your countries. He's always at one of these countries. He He likes your countries the best. Okay. You know, where are you? I'm in I'm in Chile. Oh, good. How's Chile doing? Good. He likes it. He feels very We all like him, right? It helps. He's He's got a language uh he's got a language advantage over me cuz I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time. I was okay with languages, but I'm not going to spend time learning your language. That much I won't do. Just give me a good interpreter. Interpreter very important. And I know if somebody's good. I may not speak the language, but I know I had an interpreter recently that wasn't good. talking to a very strong person from a different part of the world. And I could tell even though I even though I don't speak the language, I could tell the interpreter was not good. When you go uh uh uh when I give a long flowing beautiful sentence and in this case it was a woman and she gave it in about 1/4 the time. I said, "Well, their language may be efficient, but but it's not that efficient." And I could also tell when I have great interpreters. Interpreters are very important. You know, you have a bad interpreter. You think you're doing well. Boy, did I do a good job talking to this one or that. Was I great when I spoke to Putin today? Was I great when I spoke to President? Was I great? But if the interpreter isn't speaking right or is weak or is ineffective or is just not good or not interpreting your words correctly. Um in one case we had an interpreter who when she disagreed with what we were saying she actually changed it. We considered her a foreign minister. Right. But no we the interpreter is I talk about it all the time. Interpreters are really important. When you don't speak the language, they don't speak the language. It's you. People have no idea. People have no idea how valuable and I'm on them all the time. People have no idea how valuable a good interpreter is. But over the last year, the world has witnessed the supreme power of the United States. We're the most powerful military country in the world. Again, I rebuilt it in my first I spent so much time rebuilding it over a trillion dollars and now we just had another budget. We may be going to a trillion and a half dollars. We're building a thing called the battleship like in the old days. Remember, we have a secretary of the Navy and he suggested I suggest I' I've always said why don't we have battleships anymore shooting big bullets instead of, you know, $3 million rockets. And they said, "Uh, well, sir, we just don't have them." Nobody could give me the answer, but we're actually building 10 of them. And I said, you know, you remember the old ones from you'd see Victory at Sea. Remember Victory at Sea and you'd see these ships going through those waves like the waves were nothing. Although the waves are pretty powerful. They knock out a lot of lot of territory. But you'd see these incredible. They're pieces of art. Beautiful. Most beautiful. the big battleships of the 1940s, right? Power. I said, "Well, would we ever want to bring them back?" Cuz we have some of them. They're museums and other things. And they said, "Sir, the new ship is 100 times more powerful than what we were looking at with those guns and amazing, right? 100 times." I said, "You sure it's not maybe 90 times? 100 times more powerful? And we're building 10 of them not to use them. We don't want to use him, but by having him, nobody's going to play games. So, yeah, just good to have. We don't want to use him. They'll say, "Oh, he's very militaristic." I I'm the one that ended eight wars. I'm the one that And we have another one coming. I think the easiest was that and that was uh just and and you know, as you would understand this, the hatred between Putin and his counterpart is so great. Okay. It's so great that you know Ukraine, Russia, you'd think there'd be a little bit of camaraderie this night. And the hatred is so great. It's very hard for them to get there. It's very, very hard to get there. So, we'll see what happens. But, uh, we've been close a lot of times and one or the other would back out. But we're losing, you know, they're losing. You know, it doesn't really affect us very much because we've got an ocean separating. I'm doing it as a favor to Europe and I'm doing it as a favor to life because they're losing 25,000 souls. Think of that every month. 25,000. Last month, 31,000 both sides. 31,000 people died. Mostly soldiers. So I have an ability to get those things done to get bring people together and I did great with so many India Pakistan that was going to be a disaster that was really I was raging for number of days I did that through trade I used tariffs and trade and uh it was amazing but we did amazing one was 32 years one was 34 and one was 37 years and we got it done very quickly and we'll get this one done too but the the hatred is u it's hatred's an amazing an amazing thing. People do bad things and people don't get things done when the hatred is too great. That's a that's a lot of it. Just as we formed a coalition to eradicate ISIS in the Middle East, we must now do the same thing to eradicate the cartels at home. So, we did eradicate ISIS. Now, during the four years we had a rigged election. You probably read about it. You probably heard something. So, it gave me four years to contemplate and to stage my comeback. I staged big comeback. They say it was a comeback. I didn't think it was a comeback because I had this I had the people on my side. So, I didn't view it as a comeback. But, they did everything possible during that four years. Crooked people. They're crooked politicians. Dirty cops. They're dirty cops. They did everything possible to make it impossible for me to win. And I won in a landslide. But during that period of time, I learned a lot and I I learned how you people and I saw it so badly how you're suffering with what's happening with the crime in the region and I said if we ever come back we're going to eradicate that crime and I'm going to work with you and if you want we're going to do it we can do it pretty easily. As part of our commitment to countering the cartel presence in our region, we must recognize the epicenter of cartel violence is Mexico. The Mexican cartels are fueling and orchestrating much of the bloodshed and chaos in this hemisphere. And the United States government will do whatever is necessary to defend our national security and to protect the safety of the American people. No, look, it all comes It's coming through Mexico. And I like the president very much. She's a a very good person. She's got a beautiful voice, a beautiful woman, but beautiful voice. President, president, president. I said, let me eradicate the good. No, no, no. Please, President, we have to eradicate them. We have to knock the hell out of them because they're getting worse. They're taking over their country. The cartels are running Mexico. We can't have that. Too close to us, too close to you. But everything comes in through Mexico mostly. At the same time, all of us must recommmit to ensuring that law and order within our own nations and that include showing zero tolerance for the gang activity, tremendous gang activity. In Venezuela, we've got that's in much better shape than it ever has been. We've developed a great relationship in Venezuela. The savages who murder and rape with impunity must be permanently removed from society. We must not allow our criminal justice systems to be corrupted so that they protect these criminals and animals at the expense of your people. And for some reason all over the world, this is a region that has problems that other regions don't have. They have different problems, but they don't have this problem. The United States, last year, we achieved the largest drop in murder rate in recorded history. We uh we have the lowest murder rate in 125 years. Hard to believe because I don't know it's you know we allowed we've got a lot of them out but we we allowed through the Biden policies and Obama who was another terrible president by the way he was Barack Hussein Obama terrible president. He was a divider great divide. I call him the great divider. But uh they allowed a lot of people into our country that shouldn't be here. But in particular Biden because Biden had no idea what he was doing. He had he had no clue. It was being run by whoever got near the autopen was running the country. He was the autopen president. And frankly they let at least 25 million people come in to our country. Some from prisons, some from mental institutions, gang members, the heads of gangs, the mentally insane. I'll tell you, people came in from mental institutions and insane asylums. And we took them. We had an open border policy. It's a policy divided and and devised by idiots, but they pour it into our country. So, we went from the worst border in history to by far the best border. We have the best, strongest border that we've ever had. We have great people that did that job. By securing our border and cracking down on traffickers and smugglers, we've reduced the fentinel pouring across our border by 67%. This is in our first year, you know, give me a little more time, we'll do better. 67% which is a number that's unthinkable. You know, they say if you could do 2% 1%, but we got it down 67%. And we got a lot of the murderers out. We had 11,888 murderers allowed in our country with this ridiculous open border policy that these eggheheads put in. But we're also working closely with you on ending human smuggling and the implementing of the safe third country agreements, which are very important. In January, America's armed forces also ended the reign of one of the biggest cartel kingpins of all with the operation absolute resolve to bring outlaw dictator Nicholas Maduro to justice in a precision raid that nobody's ever seen anything like it. This was in a very powerful military base fort. And they went in and they took him out and they got him out and people couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe it. We went right into the heart and took him out and it was nasty. It was It was about 18 minutes of pure violence and we took him out. We lost nobody. Not one person was lost. Not one aircraft or no military equipment. Zero. People's have never seen anything like it. And you're talking about in into a military base with a lot of soldiers, good soldiers. Since that operation, we've been working closely with the new president of Venezuela, Deli Rodriguez, who's doing a great job, working with us. I mean, she's doing a great job because she's working with us. If she wasn't working with us, I would not say she's doing a great job. In fact, if she wasn't working with us, I'd say she's doing a very poor job. Unacceptable. No, but she's doing a great job, Marco. Right. And gets along great with Marco. And we're taking out tremendous amounts of oil. They're getting they're making more money now than they've ever made ever made. We have the big oil companies. And they they are getting making more money. We're getting some. They're getting a lot. They're making more money now than they've ever made in the history of their country. Can you imagine? And it's being spent properly. and they're they're watching it closely. >> You have been listening to President Trump speak at the Shield of America summit in Florida. The president is giving wide ranging remarks. He started off talking about Iran, saying that the nuclear threat from Iran was very real. He said on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of how the US is doing in Iran. He gave it a 15. But he announced this new uh organization, this coalition that is called the Shield of the Americas. And there's going to be a new military coalition that is that is focused on eradicating cartels throughout the Americas. That is called the American CounterCartel Coalition. The president welcomed all of the leaders uh from the Latin American countries who are joining him in Florida to launch this new effort. He also is joined by members of his cabinet. Uh Secretary of Defense Pete Hex is there. president said that he is doing a great job and he is quote very proud of the secretary of defense who of course is leading uh the military operation in Iran at this moment. Uh but the president discussed the broader themes at play right now and the reason the impetus he says for having this coalition with Latin American countries he says the region has been abandoned by the US. He says, "We've been going to far away places where we are not wanted instead of focusing on Latin America." Um, an interesting point to make there while um the US is currently conducting military operations in Iran. He named more cabinet members, Marco Rubio, uh the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of commerce is there. Interestingly, he uh he named Christy Gnome uh the now ousted secretary of the Department of Homeland Security who has been named a special envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Uh so he called her out by name which was um symbolic given the fact that she was just fired from her job but now has a new position with this effort uh between the US and other regional partners. They're focusing on eradicating cartels and the president is also uh still speaking about and updating uh efforts in the US military operation with Israel in Iran. >> Many of you have come today and >> President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi Sports Complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaian, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv, thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? >> Well, Adriana, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day, at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet. And it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although, we have been hearing from Iran's President Masoud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remainly rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTS and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. Yeah, it is a potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and reccalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's true social post this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here, Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again, that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS, what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing. And frankly, Adriana, that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now, for President Trump, that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions, including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States, similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela. But it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tieup. Thank you so much. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our scentcom commander. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so, the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who. And anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or back channelneled, is being confronted and confronted strongly. >> The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. >> Well, I President Trump, as people have seen, has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have. And through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet, messages definitely can be delivered. Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. >> For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? >> Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing longestablished intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So what is what it tells us is this. The Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. That does disadvantage even if to a smaller degree that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior and it does put US forces at more risk. Now as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hexth telling our Major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down.

Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the circuit networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And the we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming.

We are continuing to follow the latest out of Iran and the expanding war in the Middle East. Let's turn now to CBS News national security contributor Joe Zach. Zach's also served as the deputy assistant director for counterterrorism at the CIA. Joe, thank you so much for joining us. Uh we're now a week in exactly, particularly with the planning and coordination that the US has had with Israel here. How do you assess where we are right now? >> Well, good morning, Adriana, and thank you for having me on. First of all, I'd like to note that my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the six fallen soldiers uh who uh uh will be returned this uh morning. uh and um and I'm happy to see that our president will be at the dignified transfer ceremony. With respect to the uh military accomplishments, our military and and Israel's military accomplishments um this past week, I would say they have been exceptionally um well delivered and the effects have been very good. First of all, uh we see a virtual elimination of Iran's air defense capabilities. Uh we're also subtly destroying the Iranian Navy and its ability to impact uh shipping through the straight of Hormuz as well as projection of regional power. Uh we're eliminating a large portion of Iran's ballistic missile launch capabilities and their stock piles. Although I'd hasten to note that uh there is a a good bit of Iranian uh missile uh capability that's uh in underground u in underground facilities and that will take longer to get at. We're also effectively targeting their uh drone capabilities. We're um uh eliminating uh large portions um of the nuclear program that uh were not um completely eliminated. >> Joe, if if our attacks have been so effective, why do you think the president is announcing that we're going to ratchet up our strikes? Yeah, I think the uh one area where these kind of military operations that have so degraded their military capabilities are um are are difficult to achieve is with respect to regime change. And I think that um the next phase will likely target uh regime related personnel and regime uh survival uh regime facilities related to its survival. I think that's the phase we're going to go into. Joe, as you know, um, regime change has never been brought about by an air assault alone in addition to covert operations on the ground. Do you think we need to see do you think we will see US troops on the ground? >> So, a large deployment of US troops on the ground is something that uh we we would see uh that doesn't just uh present itself overnight and there are no indications that that is uh imminently happening. What I think is more likely to take place is if there are opportunities for the insertion of special operations troops or uh forces from some other uh organizations within our government for surgical precision uh operations that may take place and that may also never get reported. Uh but a large influx of US troops that takes months uh to build up and and we're not seeing that right now. >> All right, Joe Zack, thank you so much. >> Yep. Yeah, as your reporter noted, that is an option that that remains on the table. So, it may may come to that, but we're not seeing it right now. >> All right, thank you so much, Joe Zach. We appreciate you. >> Iran's threats to set ships quote ablaze that passed through the straight of Hormuz have effectively closed one of the world's busiest shipping routes. Most of the world's largest shipping companies have suspended travel through the straight. The Straight of Hormuz is a critical oil trade route that links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and eventually the Arabian Sea. It's bordered by Iran to its north and the UAE and Oman to the south. Large tankers sail through daily with around 20 million barrels of oil. According to a US Energy Information Administration report, their analysis found that more than a quarter of all oil traveling by ocean and a fifth of global liqufied natural gas flow through the strait. In 2024, only 7% of the total US oil crude oil supply came from shipments that traveled through the straight of Homus. A blockade of the trade would hit Asian countries much harder than the US. The US Energy Information Administration noted those nations get more than 80% of all crude oil and liqufied natural gas from shipments through the strait. China, India, Japan, South Korea, those are the largest buyers. Globally though, economic experts are concerned that closing the strait could raise oil prices. Prices already spiked Monday as the market reacted to the ongoing air strikes in the Middle East. This current conflict isn't the first time Iran has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz and threatened vessels. During the 1980s, commercial ships and even US Navy ships got caught up in the crossfire of the Iran Iraq war when both countries attacked ships in the strait. Over the past three decades, the Strait of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman around it have also been the site of several confrontations between the Iranian and US navies. During one particularly tense incident in 2016, Iran detained 10 US sailors when two US ships entered the Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. Those sailors were released the following morning after conversations between the US Secretary of State and Iranian foreign minister. So while Iran has threatened to attack any ship that goes through the strait, its navy has been heavily hit by air strikes. So its ability to target ships in the straight has been heavily damaged. According to the Defense Department, there are also alternative routes that can be used to transport oil, such as a nearly 750 mile long pipeline in Saudi Arabia that delivers oil to Red Sea ports. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the US Israeli Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Aught has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans, has there been any communication about them? >> Hi Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention. a new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips and it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now, we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Avine prison before the start of the war. one of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department, but the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. Um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh, one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. Um, both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um, medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um, we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um, and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran. Thank you so much. Stay with us here on CBS News 247 throughout the day. We will continue our live coverage of the latest developments from Iran.

Do you know if there are active terror cells in the United States right now? >> To be moderator of Face the Nation means bringing the most powerful stakeholders to the table to become better informed. Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexath talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. What families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran. In a late night truth social post, he says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest >> this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped a 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaian, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv, thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Thai is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adriana, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president, Massud Pesan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remain rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela. But it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana. >> And we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our Sentcom commander. So, so we know what's going on and the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks and so the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening whether it's in public or back channelneled is being confronted and confronted strongly. >> The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior. And it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hathth telling our Major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the circuit networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And the we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content, and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you.

So so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh, one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. Um, both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um, we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um, and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran.

To be moderator of Face the Nation means bringing the most powerful stakeholders to the table to become better informed. Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexath talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. What families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran. in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender, a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest. this morning with Thran sky glowing orange after Israeli warplanes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport. Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azani sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaijan, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv, thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adriana, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president, Massud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes. Over the past week, uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remainly uh rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. uh how are you doing with the attack? And I said about a 15, I would say. >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Kellian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dural, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here, the Shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which a Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba in his words were is at the end of the line uh that he has tasked Secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran, but he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries, Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador uh just to name a few. And of course uh he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor the six service members who lost their lives uh nearly a week ago as a result of Operation Epic Fury. Adriana >> Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this, noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, in essence said, "Call us uh if you need our help." So really relying mostly on military forces a way and mechanism uh to root out this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up, this shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us uh with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest from the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. You bet. >> Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes. In an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett, here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our sentcom. So, so we know what's going on, and the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so, the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or back channelneled, is being confronted and confronted strongly. The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. >> Well, I President Trump, as people have seen, has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have. And through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet, messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. uh we're putting the other guys in danger. >> For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior. And it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf states are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hathth telling our major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And the we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content, and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much. Iran's threats to set ships quote ablaze that pass through the Straight of Hormuz have effectively closed one of the world's busiest shipping routes. Most of the world's largest shipping companies have suspended travel through the straight. The Straight of Hermuz is a critical oil trade route that links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and eventually the Arabian Sea. It's bordered by Iran to its north and the UAE and Oman to the south. Large tankers sail through daily with around 20 million barrels of oil, according to a US Energy Information Administration report. Their analysis found that more than a quarter of all oil traveling by ocean and a fifth of global liqufied natural gas flow through the straight. In 2024, only 7% of the total US oil crude oil supply came from shipments that traveled through the Straight of Humus. A blockade of the trait would hit Asian countries much harder than the US. The US Energy Information Administration noted those nations get more than 80% of all crude oil and liqufied natural gas from shipments through the straight. China, India, Japan, South Korea, those are the largest buyers. Globally though, economic experts are concerned that closing the strait could raise oil prices. Prices already spiked Monday as the market reacted to the ongoing air strikes in the Middle East. This current conflict isn't the first time Iran has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz and threatened vessels. During the 1980s, commercial ships and even US Navy ships got caught up in the crossfire of the Iran Iraq war when both countries attacked ships in the strait. Over the past three decades, the Straight of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman around it have also been the site of several confrontations between the Iranian and US navies. During one particularly tense incident in 2016, Iran detained 10 US sailors when two US ships entered the Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. Those sailors were released the following morning after conversations between the US Secretary of State and Iranian foreign minister. So while Iran has threatened to attack any ship that goes through the strait, its navy has been heavily hit by air strikes. So its ability to target ships in the straight has been heavily damaged according to the defense department. There are also alternative routes that can be used to transport oil such as a nearly 750 ml long pipeline in Saudi Arabia that delivers oil to Red Sea ports. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIra Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi, Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually, literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention. A new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now, we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Aine prison before the start of the war. One of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department. But the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care for example. Um and with this war with these strikes there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. Um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So So it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh, one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. Um, both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um, we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um, and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran.

Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azani sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaijan, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv, thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adriana, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president Masud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remainly uh rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Kellian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dural, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for uh the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here, the shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels. uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba, in his words, were is at the end of the line. uh that he has tasked Secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So, we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran, but he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. Uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries, Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador just to name a few. And of course uh he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at do air base to honor the six service members who lost their lives uh nearly a week ago as a result of operation epic fury. Adriana >> Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this, noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, in essence said, "Call us uh if you need our help." So really relying mostly on military forces a way and mechanism uh to root out this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up, this shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. >> And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement uh that the White House provided us with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. You bet. >> Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East. And this programming note, this Sunday, tomorrow, we will run the best of 60 Minutes coverage of Iran over the years. Its stream starting at 3 p.m. Eastern and again at 7 p.m. right here on CBS News 247. I want to know what's going on in the world. You can't do that if you're just sitting in a chair reading about what other people have found. You have to get out there and listen. By telling people about each other, you actually bring this country together. There are big questions that all of us are asking. I want to get you the answers. I'm Tony Dopal. Join me on the CBS Evening News. Sunday morning, we consider The Kiss. Plus, the Eagle's greatest hits, 50 years in counting. And meet Penny, a winner in anyone's book. >> Where are some of America's funniest people getting their start? >> Dutch people not the most giving laughers. >> 60 Minutes goes to Amsterdam. >> Dutch people laugh like this. >> We don't want to accept that there's evil that walks amongst us. But it does. >> You know how when you meet somebody, you can't put your finger on it, but something's not right. >> You never know what anybody is capable of. >> I am a serial killer who's only killed once. >> Did you think when this goes public, this town's going to be shocked? >> Absolutely. When you're dealing with a 30-year-old cold case, it seems like there's not a lot of hope. >> We knew there was a monster out there and we were going to find him and get him. >> Look at him just coming around the corner like that. >> We started tracking the area. >> When did this accident scene become a crime scene? >> Police. >> You called him a lying liar who lies about lying. >> Do you know why we're stopping you today? What makes you so sure that you stabbed your sister while you were sleepwalking? >> I never got a chance to see her one last time. >> Such injustice. I can't believe they did this to her. But no matter how hard it gets, never give up. >> I'm Natalie Morales with 48 Hours. Did you have anything to do with Joanna Hunter's death? This is a family that just wants justice. >> Chilling with the queen. Her name is Gail King. >> CBS >> CBS >> CBS Morning. >> CBS Morning. >> CBS Morning. >> CBS. >> CBS Morning. >> CBS CBS Morning. >> CBS Morning. >> CBS Morning. >> CBS Mornings on CBS. And where else? Paramount Pl. >> See you at 7. >> CBS. I want a mug. >> Good mug. >> The only way to get a 360°ree understanding of America is to get out there in America. There really is no swing at all when it comes to the priorities of everyday people. We care about how secure our job is, whether we can plan on retiring with dignity, whether our kids can have a brighter future than we have today. These are the fundamentals of American life, and I think they can be again. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our sentcom. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening whether it's in public or back channelneled is being confronted and confronted strongly. >> The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior and it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hack Seth telling our Major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong. But whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War is referring to the strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation. here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links. Think before you retweet content and certainly in your physical surroundings. Be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIL Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention, a new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Thran Zavine prison before the start of the war. One of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department. But the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So, so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. um both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran. Thank you so much. Stay with us here on CBS News 247 throughout the day. We will continue our live coverage of the latest developments from Iran.

Stay with CBS News for continuing coverage on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexth talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. What families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran. In a late night truth social post, he says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehaban airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped a 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaian, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv, thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed.

He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us uh with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. You bet. >> Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our sentcom. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so, the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or back channelneled, is being confronted and confronted strongly. The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. >> Well, I President Trump, as people have seen, has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have. And through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet, messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. uh we're putting the other guys in danger. >> For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior. And it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hacksth telling our major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And the we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content, and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much. Iran's threats to set ships quote ablaze that passed through the straight of Hormuz have effectively closed one of the world's busiest shipping routes. Most of the world's largest shipping companies have suspended travel through the straight. The Straight of Hormuz is a critical oil trade route that links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and eventually the Arabian Sea. It's bordered by Iran to its north and the UAE and Oman to the south. Large tankers sail through daily with around 20 million barrels of oil, according to a US Energy Information Administration report. Their analysis found that more than a quarter of all oil traveling by ocean and a fifth of global liqufied natural gas flow through the straight. In 2024, only 7% of the total US oil crude oil supply came from shipments that traveled through the straight of Humuz. A blockade of the trait would hit Asian countries much harder than the US. The US Energy Information Administration noted those nations get more than 80% of all crude oil and liqufied natural gas from shipments through the straight. China, India, Japan, South Korea, those are the largest buyers. Globally though, economic experts are concerned that closing the strait could raise oil prices. Prices already spiked Monday as the market reacted to the ongoing air strikes in the Middle East. This current conflict isn't the first time Iran has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz and threatened vessels. During the 1980s, commercial ships and even US Navy ships got caught up in the crossfire of the Iran Iraq war when both countries attacked ships in the strait. Over the past three decades, the street of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman around it have also been the site of several confrontations between the Iranian and US navies. During one particularly tense incident in 2016, Iran detained 10 US sailors when two US ships entered the Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. Those sailors were released the following morning after conversations between the US Secretary of State and Iranian foreign minister. So while Iran has threatened to attack any ship that goes through the strait, its navy has been heavily hit by air strikes. So its ability to target ships in the straight has been heavily damaged according to the defense department. There are also alternative routes that can be used to transport oil such as a nearly 750 mileong pipeline in Saudi Arabia that delivers oil to Red Sea ports. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIT Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi, Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually, literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention. A new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now, we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Avine prison before the start of the war. one of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department, but the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. Um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So So it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh, one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. Um, both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um, medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um, we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um, and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran. Thank you so much. Stay with us here on CBS News 247 throughout the day. We will continue our live coverage of the latest developments from Iran.

Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexth talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. what families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest >> this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped a 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaian, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adrian, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president, Massud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remain uh rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Killian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dural, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for uh the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here the shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels. uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba, in his words, were is at the end of the line. uh that he has tasked secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran, but he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. Uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries, Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador just to name a few. And of course uh he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor the six service members who lost their lives uh nearly a week ago as a result of Operation Epic Fury. Adriana >> Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this, noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, in essence said, call us uh if you need our help. So really relying mostly on military force as a way and mechanism uh to uh root out this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up, this shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. >> And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or zero to 10, he would give uh the US uh the u the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us uh with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dal, Florida. Thank you so much. You bet. >> Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East.

These are the fundamentals of American life, and I think they can be again. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our Sentcom commander. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening whether it's in public or back channelneled is being confronted and confronted strongly. >> The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior, and it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hathth telling our major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger sensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content, and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIL Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention, a new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Thran Zavine prison before the start of the war. One of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department. But the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So, so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. um both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran.

Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexath talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. What families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran. in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender, a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest. This morning, with Thran sky glowing orange after Israeli warplanes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azani sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaijan, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adriana, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president Masoud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remainly uh rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Kian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dell, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for uh the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here, the shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels. uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba, in his words, were is at the end of the line. uh that he has tasked Secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So, we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran. But he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. Uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador just to name a few. And of course uh he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor the six service members who lost their lives. uh nearly a week ago as a result of operation epic fury. Adriana Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere, how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this. noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, and as said, call us uh if you need our help. So really relying mostly on military forces away and mechanism uh to uh root out uh this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up. This shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts and did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? >> Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team, although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So uh you know while we can't read the president's mind or know uh you know the impetus behind the latest military strategy. The president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. >> You bet. Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to them, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our scentcom commander. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so, the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or backneled, is being confronted and confronted strongly. The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. >> Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement >> no one's putting us in danger. uh we're putting the other guys in danger. >> For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now.

Iran's threats to set ships quote ablaze that passed through the Straight of Hormuz have effectively closed one of the world's busiest shipping routes. Most of the world's largest shipping companies have suspended travel through the straight. The Straight of Hermuz is a critical oil trade route that links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and eventually the Arabian Sea. It's bordered by Iran to its north and the UAE and Oman to the south. Large tankers sail through daily with around 20 million barrels of oil, according to a US Energy Information Administration report. Their analysis found that more than a quarter of all oil traveling by ocean and a fifth of global liqufied natural gas flow through the straight. In 2024, only 7% of the total US oil crude oil supply came from shipments that traveled through the straight of Humus. A blockade of the trait would hit Asian countries much harder than the US. The US Energy Information Administration noted those nations get more than 80% of all crude oil and liqufied natural gas from shipments through the straight. China, India, Japan, South Korea, those are the largest buyers. Globally though, economic experts are concerned that closing the strait could raise oil prices. Prices already spiked Monday as the market reacted to the ongoing air strikes in the Middle East. This current conflict isn't the first time Iran has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz and threatened vessels. During the 1980s, commercial ships and even US Navy ships got caught up in the crossfire of the Iran Iraq war when both countries attacked ships in the strait. Over the past three decades, the street of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman around it have also been the site of several confrontations between the Iranian and US navies. During one particularly tense incident in 2016, Iran detained 10 US sailors when two US ships entered the Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. Those sailors were released the following morning after conversations between the US Secretary of State and Iranian foreign minister. So while Iran has threatened to attack any ship that goes through the strait, its navy has been heavily hit by air strikes. So its ability to target ships in the straight has been heavily damaged according to the defense department. There are also alternative routes that can be used to transport oil such as a nearly 750 mile long pipeline in Saudi Arabia that delivers oil to Red Sea ports. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIra Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Aut has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi, Adriana. Well, a bit of context.

At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now, we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Aven prison before the start of the war. one of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department, but the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example.

Hello everyone. I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexth talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. what families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest >> this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped a 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaian, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adriana, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's President Masud Pesan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remain rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning. Actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Kellian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dural, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for uh the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here, the shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels. uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba, in his words, were is at the end of the line. uh that he has tasked Secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So, we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran, but he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. Uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries, Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador just to name a few. And of course uh he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at do air base to honor the six service members who lost their lives uh nearly a week ago as a result of operation epic fury. Adriana >> Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this, noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, in essence said, "Call us uh if you need our help." So really relying mostly on military forces a way and mechanism uh to root out this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up, this shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. >> And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement uh that the White House provided us with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. You bet. >> Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East.

There really is no swing at all when it comes to the priorities of everyday people. We care about how secure our job is, whether we can plan on retiring with dignity, whether our kids can have a brighter future than we have today. These are the fundamentals of American life, and I think they can be again. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our sentcom. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening whether it's in public or back channelneled is being confronted and confronted strongly. >> The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior. And it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf states are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hexth telling our major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content, and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIT Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention, a new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Aven prison before the start of the war. One of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department. But the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So, so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist, uh one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. um both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran.

They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Kellian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dell, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here the shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels. uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba, in his words, were is at the end of the line. uh that he has tasked Secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So, we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran. But he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. Uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador just to name a few. And of course uh he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor the six service members who lost their lives. uh nearly a week ago as a result of operation epic fury. Adriana Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere, how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this. noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, and as said, call us uh if you need our help. So really relying mostly on military forces a way and mechanism uh to uh root out uh this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up. This shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? >> Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team, although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So uh you know while we can't read the president's mind or know uh you know the impetus behind the latest military strategy. The president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. >> You bet.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our scentcom commander. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so, the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening, whether it's in public or back channelneled, is being confronted and confronted strongly. The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. >> Well, I President Trump, as people have seen, has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have. And through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet, messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. uh we're putting the other guys in danger. >> For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior and it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hexth telling our Major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong. But whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War is referring to the strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation. here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And the we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you and if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much. Iran's threats to set ships quote ablaze that passed through the Strait of Hormuz have effectively closed one of the world's busiest shipping routes. Most of the world's largest shipping companies have suspended travel through the straight. The Straight of Hermuz is a critical oil trade route that links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and eventually the Arabian Sea. It's bordered by Iran to its north and the UAE and Oman to the south. Large tankers sail through daily with around 20 million barrels of oil, according to a US Energy Information Administration report. Their analysis found that more than a quarter of all oil traveling by ocean and a fifth of global liqufied natural gas flow through the straight. In 2024, only 7% of the total US oil crude oil supply came from shipments that traveled through the Strait of Hummus. A blockade of the trade would hit Asian countries much harder than the US. The US Energy Information Administration noted those nations get more than 80% of all crude oil and liqufied natural gas from shipments through the straight. China, India, Japan, South Korea, those are the largest buyers. Globally though, economic experts are concerned that closing the strait could raise oil prices. Prices already spiked Monday as the market reacted to the ongoing air strikes in the Middle East. This current conflict isn't the first time Iran has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz and threatened vessels. During the 1980s, commercial ships and even US Navy ships got caught up in the crossfire of the Iran Iraq war when both countries attacked ships in the strait. Over the past three decades, the street of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman around it have also been the site of several confrontations between the Iranian and US navies. During one particularly tense incident in 2016, Iran detained 10 US sailors when two US ships entered the Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. Those sailors were released the following morning after conversations between the US Secretary of State and Iranian foreign minister. So while Iran has threatened to attack any ship that goes through the strait, its navy has been heavily hit by air strikes. So its ability to target ships in the straight has been heavily damaged according to the defense department. There are also alternative routes that can be used to transport oil such as a nearly 750 mile long pipeline in Saudi Arabia that delivers oil to Red Sea ports. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIra Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Aut has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi, Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention. A new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now, we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Aven prison before the start of the war. One of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department. But the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care for example. Um and with this war with these strikes there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. Um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh, one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. Um, both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um, we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um, and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran. Thank you so much. Stay with us here on CBS News 247 throughout the day. We will continue our live coverage of the latest developments from Iran.

Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now as President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexath talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. what families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped a 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaian, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? >> Well, Adriana, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president, Massud Pesan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remain rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning. Actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership has been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela. But it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana. >> And we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Killian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dural, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for uh the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here the shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels. uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba in his words were is at the end of the line. uh that he has tasked Secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So, we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran, but he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. Uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries, Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador just to name a few. And of course, he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor the six service members who lost their lives uh nearly a week ago as a result of Operation Epic Fury. Adriana >> Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this, noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, in essence said, call us uh if you need our help. So really relying mostly on military force as a way and mechanism uh to uh root out this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up, this shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or zero to 10, he would give uh the US uh the u the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us uh with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dal, Florida.

These are the fundamentals of American life, and I think they can be again. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world.

And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks.

Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, >> the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior and it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hexth telling our major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the circuit networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And the we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIL Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention, a new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Thran Zavine prison before the start of the war. One of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department. But the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So, so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. um both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aine prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Helot with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran.

These are the fundamentals of American life, and I think they can be again. War with Iran. Stay with CBS News for continuing coverage on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. Hello everyone, I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now. As President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexth talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. What families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran. in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender, a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest >> this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli warplanes bombed the city's Mehabanabad airport. Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azadi sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaian, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Taup is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adrian, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's President Masoud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes. Also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remain uh rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership have been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Kellian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dural, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for uh the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here the shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of naroterrorism, drug trafficking and cartels. uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which a Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba, in his words, were is at the end of the line. uh that he has tasked secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran, but he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. Uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries, Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador just to name a few. And of course, he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor the six service members who lost their lives uh nearly a week ago as a result of Operation Epic Fury. Adriana >> Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this, noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, in essence said, "Call us uh if you need our help." So really relying mostly on military forces a way and mechanism uh to uh root out this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up, this shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. >> And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us uh with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest on the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. You bet. >> Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East.

Iran's threats to set ships quote ablaze that passed through the Strait of Hormuz have effectively closed one of the world's busiest shipping routes. Most of the world's largest shipping companies have suspended travel through the straight. The Straight of Hermuz is a critical oil trade route that links the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and eventually the Arabian Sea. It's bordered by Iran to its north and the UAE and Oman to the south. Large tankers sail through daily with around 20 million barrels of oil, according to a US Energy Information Administration report. Their analysis found that more than a quarter of all oil traveling by ocean and a fifth of global liqufied natural gas flow through the straight. In 2024, only 7% of the total US oil crude oil supply came from shipments that traveled through the Strait of Hummus. A blockade of the trait would hit Asian countries much harder than the US. The US Energy Information Administration noted those nations get more than 80% of all crude oil and liqufied natural gas from shipments through the straight. China, India, Japan, South Korea, those are the largest buyers globally. Though economic experts are concerned that closing the straight could raise oil prices. Prices already spiked Monday as the market reacted to the ongoing air strikes in the Middle East. This current conflict isn't the first time Iran has effectively closed the straight of Hormuz and threatened vessels. During the 1980s, commercial ships and even US Navy ships got caught up in the crossfire of the Iran Iraq war when both countries attacked ships in the strait. Over the past three decades, the street of Hormuz, Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman around it have also been the site of several confrontations between the Iranian and US navies. During one particularly tense incident in 2016, Iran detained 10 US sailors when two US ships entered the Iranian territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. Those sailors were released the following morning after conversations between the US Secretary of State and Iranian foreign minister. So while Iran has threatened to attack any ship that goes through the straight, its navy has been heavily hit by air strikes. So its ability to target ships in the straight has been heavily damaged according to the defense department. There are also alternative routes that can be used to transport oil such as a nearly 750 m long pipeline in Saudi Arabia that delivers oil to Red Sea ports. Advocates for at least four American nationals who were jailed in Iran before the USIra Israeli strikes began are growing increasingly concerned about their safety. It is believed that we are that they were being held at the notorious Evan Prison in Thran before the war started. But as the military strikes continue, there has been little news on their condition or efforts to move them to a safer location. CBS News reporter Haley Au has been following the story. She joins us now from our London bureau with more. Haley, what do we know about the conditions of those Americans? Has there been any communication about them? >> Hi, Adriana. Well, a bit of context. Before this war began, actually literally the day before, Secretary of State Marco Rubio designated Iran the first state sponsor of wrongful detention. A new designation created by one of President Trump's executive orders that had never been given to any country before. At the time, Rubio said the Islamic Republic had a long history of hostage diplomacy, which is taking people from other countries prisoner to use as bargaining chips. And it demanded Iran stop. And then the US and Israelled strikes began the next day. Now, we know of at least four Americans who were being held in Tehran's Avine prison before the start of the war. one of whom was designated officially wrongfully detained by the State Department, but the others also contest their detentions and they were already facing dire circumstances with restrictions to their medications and health care, for example. Um, and with this war, with these strikes, there's serious concern that those conditions in that prison could be deteriorating. Our sources inside the prison say that there have been strikes so close that windows have been blown out. We know that that prison has been hit in previous conflicts and we've heard reports that prison guards aren't showing up for work. Um that could mean that potentially as this conflict escalates um these prisoners could be abandoned without access to things like food. So so it's a very alarming situation >> and not able to get out. Haley, do we know anything about these Americans that are imprisoned there? >> We have two names that have been shared publicly. One is a journalist. Uh, one is a 61-year-old Long Island resident. Um, both have been held for a long period of time and their families and lawyers say that they have health conditions. They have um medical needs that aren't being seen to. Um, we haven't heard directly from them. Their lawyers haven't heard from them since this conflict began. Um, and there's there's really tremendous concern that as things continue, their conditions may deteriorate. Their lawyers have asked the US government and the Israeli government to exercise caution in their strikes around Aen prison and also suggested um potentially that if there are any negotiations these prisoners could be uh front of mind in in those >> Haley with important reporting on vulnerable Americans inside Iran.

Hello everyone. I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a special edition of CBS News 247. Here's a look at the top stories we are following right now as President Trump promises targets inside Thran will be hit hard today. The war enters its second week. Defense Secretary Pete Hexath talks with our Major Garrett about new revelations that Moscow is providing intelligence for Iran in its defense against the strikes. Plus, as the war lingers, fears grow for Americans jailed inside Iran. what families and lawyers representing those detained are saying to us today. President Trump says the United States is preparing to step up its attacks on Iran in a late night truth social post. He says Iran will be quote hit very hard today. Iran's president today apologized for strikes on its neighbors and says Iran will no longer target those countries unless attacks originate from there. He did however call President Trump's ask for unconditional surrender a dream the US should take to its grave. That's his quote. CBS News chief correspondent Matt Gutman is in Tel Aviv with the latest >> this morning. With Tehran sky glowing orange after Israeli war plananes bombed the city's Mehabanad airport, Iran's president vowing never to surrender. That defiance to the onslaught and the constant echoes of explosions in Iran's capital came hours after Israel struck the Iranian regime's primary wartime bunker. Israel said it dropped a 100 munitions in a fiery instant. And as the conflict enters its second week, the US military says it has struck over 3,000 targets and damaged or destroyed 43 Iranian ships, sinking this drone carrier, bombing planes on the ground and jet hangers. But that historic air assault coming at a civilian cost. This past week, a strike destroyed an Iranian elementary school. Dozens of girls were killed. Israel has said it was not operating in the area at the time. And now, US investigators tell CBS News the US may have been responsible. Another attack turned the iconic Azani sports complex into a smoldering husk. But as the war continues to expand geographically from Lebanon to Azerbaijan, Iran's missile attacks on Israel are decreasing. The sirens just sounded here. You can see this woman and her daughter running to a shelter. Streets are empty here, but this is only the second sirens in the past 20 hours. >> Israel says it has destroyed up to 60% of Iran's missile capacity. >> Matt Gutman in Tel Aviv. Thank you so much. Meanwhile, Israel also says it's conducting operations in Lebanon. The fighting in total has killed at least 1,200 people in Iran, more than 200 in Lebanon, and 11 in Israel according to officials in those countries. Of course, six US troops have also died in a drone attack. CBS News senior foreign correspondent MTS Thai is in Doha with more. MTS, bring us up to speed. Where do things stand today? Well, Adrian, as you can imagine, the situation remains extremely tense all across the Gulf. I'm here in Doha. You can see this glittering skyline behind me. Now, this is the seafront or the Cornesh. And normally at this time of day at sunset, it would be packed full of families uh enjoying Ramadan, breaking their fast together. And as you can see, it's very quiet and it really just underscores just how tense the situation is. Although we have been hearing from Iran's president, Massud Peskan in that taped message apologizing to Gulf countries for carrying out strikes over the past week. Uh we've seen hundreds of missiles, hundreds of drone strikes, also saying that he would not strike these countries anymore so long as any attacks emanating from this region wouldn't hit Iran. Uh but again the situation here remain uh rather remains extremely tense as Gulf countries brace themselves for more. Adriana >> so as you just mentioned MTZ Iran's president is now vowing not to strike its neighbors unless a strike originates from there. Uh I was following this reporting and your emails with analysis this morning actually I was reading MTZ and you say this is signaling a new phase of the war. >> Yeah it is a potentially new phase of the war. It would seem that the Iranians are calibrating and recalibrating at the same time. On the one hand, they're in this very punishing war with the US and Israel. What they don't want is a war with Arab countries and Iran Arab war. Uh but still, we've heard just in the last few hours of strikes being or rather Iranian strikes in Bahrain. We've also seen extraordinary image of an Iranian drone targeting Dubai's airport, one of the busiest airports in Dubai. And I just want to reflect again President Trump's two social posts this morning following that apology from the Iranian president. Uh we have the the president uh or rather Mr. Trump saying and again I'm quoting here Iran is no longer the bully of the Middle East and is instead his words the loser of the Middle East saying that they that will be the case for many decades until they surrender or collapse. And again that warning from President Trump saying that Iran will be hit very hard today. Adriana >> MTS what could that look like? Do we have any sense of what we could be hitting or targeting or what that fallout could could look like on the ground? >> I mean, the images coming out of Tehran are pretty extraordinary. You just see Tehran, a city of 10 million people being punished in an extraordinary way. We understand that huge numbers of Iran's military, intelligence, and government leadership have been killed and targeted in these strikes by the US uh and Israel. But still uh the regime remains standing and frankly Adriana that is their ultimate goal here. They seem to be signaling that they are willing to withstand whatever they're throw whatever's thrown their way so long as they can keep uh their regime intact. Now for President Trump that seems to be a non-starter. He wants a number of concessions including Iran to say that it's not going to develop its nuclear program beyond minuscule amounts. He wants Iran to effectively suspend its ballistic missiles program. But I think most crucially is he wants to see a new Iranian leadership that is going to be sympathetic or at the very least friendly towards the United States. Similar to what we saw happen in Venezuela, but it sounds like from the Iranian point of view, they're signaling that they are going to stand firm the way they are. But how long they can last under such an assault is frankly anybody's guess. Adriana, >> and we're also thinking about all of the civilians in Iran who are there. Um, a lot of people bracing for this ratcheting up. MTS tie up. Thank you so much. Today, President Trump hosted leaders from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Dorado, Florida at the Shield of the America Summit. The president announced the creation of America's counter cartel coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels and terrorist networks across the Western Hemisphere. Today's summit comes on a day when, as we mentioned, the president is signaling an escalation in the war with Iran. >> This had to be done. They were very close to a nuclear weapon. They said, "Well, how are you doing on a scale of 0 to 10? How are you doing with the attack?" And I said, "About a 15, I would say." >> CBS News congressional correspondent Nicole Kellian is traveling with the president and joins us now from Dural, Florida. Nicole, thank you so much for being with us. So, what are your biggest takeaways from the president's wide-ranging remarks? >> Well, obviously the president started with the news of day, which is the situation in Iran. He again said that he believes that the operation is going very well. He talked about how much of Iran's military capabilities have been knocked out in terms of its army and its navy. Uh he continued to say that uh Iran in his words they're bad people and then defended obviously the operation that is at hand saying that this had to be done that Iran was potentially on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon. So that was the justification obviously for uh the military operation that has now been underway for the better part of a week now. Uh he also uh then pivoted to the event at hand here, the Shield of the Americas summit where there were about a dozen leaders gathered from the Caribbean and Latin America and the president really tasking those leaders with addressing this issue of narotism, drug trafficking and cartels. Uh saying that it is important to try to root those cartels out. He obviously cited uh the recent military action that was taken in Venezuela, praising that raid in which a Nicholas Maduro was apprehended and captured, brought here to the US. Uh and also for warning that potentially Cuba could be next. He did say that uh Cuba in his words were is at the end of the line uh that he has tasked Secretary Rubio with trying to potentially find a deal there. He also talked about even how some of these leaders uh have approached him about doing something about Cuba. So we didn't get a chance to press the president further on exactly what he meant by those comments. He did not take any questions from reporters on that or the situation in Iran, but he did conclude this event by signing a proclamation in essence standing up this coalition of nations around the issue of countering cartels. uh he was surrounded by all of these leaders from various countries, Argentina, Honduras, El Salvador uh just to name a few. And of course uh he has since now left the premises now heading to attend a dignified transfer at Dover Air Base to honor the six service members who lost their lives uh nearly a week ago as a result of Operation Epic Fury. Adriana >> Nicole, did the president explain what this coalition um of uh different states in the region here on in the Western Hemisphere how they would approach this goal of uh to to defeat cartels in the region? >> Well, in essence, he said by force. He talked about the importance of using the military to do this, noting that yes, you all may have these strong police forces, but that may not be sufficient and also uh to call on the United States uh if they know where some of these cartel leaders, drug leaders are to try to root them out. So he, you know, in essence said, "Call us uh if you need our help." So really relying mostly on military forces a way and mechanism uh to root out this cartel activity. But at the end of the day, this coalition is being stood up, this shield of the Americas, if you will, uh really around democratic principles around principles of freedom and security and also this issue of countering uh naroterrorism. >> And Nicole, as you said, the president started with the issue that really is top of mind for everyone, this war in Iran. He said on a scale of one or 0 to 10, he would give uh the US uh the U the US effort there a 15. So if if we're at a 15, why do you think did he give any indication about why then today we are hitting Iran harder um as he had said in one of his truth social posts? And did he give any any indication any was there any discussion about the next phase of the war? Could we see American troops in Iran on the ground? Well, that was a question he was asked repeatedly as he exited the stage behind me, whether or not he was considering putting boots on the ground. Again, as I mentioned, he did not take any questions. Uh the White House did provide us with a statement trying to downplay some of those reports that that may be an option under consideration. Uh in essence, saying that this was based on anonymous sources who aren't part of the president's national security team. Although the president certainly uh wisely reserves the option to examine uh every option on the table. I'm just kind of paraphrasing a statement that the White House provided us uh with respect to those reports about potentially putting boots on the ground. But uh you know the president again I think you have to look to his comments just yesterday where he was calling on Iran to unconditionally surrender and there have been a lot of questions about well what exactly does that mean? Now the White House has explained that that is when Iran no longer poses a threat. The president also for his part in a subsequent interview said something to the effect of that could mean when Iran is no longer able to fight back. So, uh, you know, while we can't read the president's mind or know, uh, you know, the impetus behind the latest military strategy, the president did make clear in his truth social post this morning that Iran would be hit very hard and in fact that some areas that weren't previously under consideration might be hit uh, due to what he described as Iran's quote bad behavior. >> All right, Nicole Killian with uh, all the latest from the president's latest remarks from Dorado, Florida. Thank you so much. You bet. >> Still to come, our coverage of the war in Iran continues with a breakdown of the potential military strategies the US may employ to achieve its goals in the Middle East.

There really is no swing at all when it comes to the priorities of everyday people. We care about how secure our job is, whether we can plan on retiring with dignity, whether our kids can have a brighter future than we have today. These are the fundamentals of American life, and I think they can be again. Sources tell CBS News Russia is providing intelligence to Iran about US positions in the Middle East. Secretary of Defense Pete Hexath responded to this report on this Sunday's 60 Minutes in an exclusive interview with our Major Garrett. Here is a portion of that. >> Well, we're tracking everything. Our commanders are aware of everything. We have the best intelligence in the world. We're aware of who's talking to who, why they're talking to him, how accurate that information might be, how we factor that into our battle plans, our sentcom. So, so we know what's going on. And the president has an incredible uh knack at knowing how to mitigate those risks. And so the American people can rest assured uh their commander-in-chief is well aware of who's talking to who and anything that shouldn't be happening whether it's in public or back channelneled is being confronted and confronted strongly. >> The American people can therefore expect conversations with the Russians to stop this. Well, I President Trump as people have seen has a unique relationship with a lot of world leaders where he can get things done that other presidents certainly Joe Biden never could have and through direct conversations or indirect through him onetoone or through his cabinet messages definitely can be delivered. >> Does this put US personnel in any more danger than they otherwise would be? >> Well, the Russian involvement, >> no one's putting us in danger. We're putting the other guys in danger. For more on Russia's involvement, CBS News national security contributor Samantha Vinegrad joins us now. She is a former assistant secretary for counterterrorism at the Department of Homeland Security. Sam, thank you so much for joining us. So, we have this information about the Kremlin leaking information to Iran about US positions. How does this make an impact on on our our military effort? Well, Adriana, I fear that it's less the Kremlin leaking information to the Iranian regime and more the Kremlin utilizing long-established intelligence sharing mechanisms with the Iranian regime, with the Iranian intelligence services. And the Russians do have very advanced intel collection capabilities, particularly when it comes to satellite imagery. So, what is what it tells us is this, the Russians are giving the Iranians information that they wouldn't otherwise have. that does disadvantage, even if to a smaller degree, that does disadvantage US forces more so than if Russia wasn't engaging in this behavior and it does put US forces at more risk. Now, as the Secretary of War indicated, the United States does have very advanced force protection mechanisms, but the Russians are undoubtedly increasing the threat to American service members. The outstanding question of course is whether President Trump will take action to punish Russia for this and whether this this war which the administration isn't calling a war but if there is any way to contain more actors from becoming involved. This campaign was never just going to be about the United States, Israel, and Iran. Russia is now involved according to this reporting. There's additional reporting China may become involved and certainly the Gulf States are implicated as they're being struck by Iranian aerial assets. >> Uh Sam, what did you make of Defense Secretary Pete Hathth telling our Major Garrett, "No one's putting us in danger. We're putting them in danger." >> I think that is not quite an accurate analysis of what's happening. The Russians providing information on US service members to the Iranians undoubtedly puts US forces e again even if it's a small degree in more in more danger. I'm uh glad to hear the secretary of war saying that they're not in more danger ostensibly that means that force protection mechanisms are very strong but whenever an adversary has more information and more intelligence on US service members that's never a good thing. So, I hope the Secretary of War was referring to these strong force protection measures we have in place, but I don't quite see how the Russians sharing information on US forces doesn't put them in more danger. >> And Iran is saying that they're not going to back down. Uh they said that they're going to strike Americans and Israelis. What should Americans know about any threats here at home? >> The Iranians are going to the regime is going to continue making bombastic statements about their plans for retaliation here at home. Americans should be aware that there is a physical threat from Iran and the surrogate networks it's developed here. They should also be aware that there's a real cyber threat. We have uh in the past seen the Iranian regime rely on cyber tactics to cause disruption to hack and leak information and more. And we should also be aware the Iranian regime has a history of what we call influence operations trying to manipulate the information that the Americans are consuming. So think before you click link links, think before you retweet content and certainly in your physical surroundings, be aware of what's happening around you. And if you see anything suspicious, reach out to law enforcement. >> Very good advice, Samantha Vinegrad. Thank you so much.

This is a once in a lifetime case. All I did was I pieced things together. I got the call from my inspector. He didn't have a lot of information. So, it was more or less like go down there and figure out what we have. You don't often see body parts being discovered. >> So, this is odd. >> Yes, absolutely.
