Iran's attacks on Israel 'cause for alarm': Lt. General Newton

() Retired Air Force Lt. General Richard Newton tells he believes Iran is “rather limited” in its ability to launch another attack on Israel. Nonetheless, he says the situation is concerning.

Speaking to ” Now” moments after Iran missiles reached Israel’s Iron Dome, Newton said he expects attacks on Israel to be of lesser severity than Iran’s missile strikes Oct. 1.

Iran’s most recent strikes came after Israel launched a sweeping military operation late Thursday night and into Friday morning, striking multiple high-value targets across Iran and reportedly killing three key Iranian leaders.

“It is a cause for alarm,” Newton said of Iran’s strikes on Israel on Friday. “The fact that Iran is able to conduct a retaliatory strike bears very close watching, and I think you’re seeing strong Israeli defenses to try to thwart any attack against the Israeli people.”

Iran announced Friday it has withdrawn from nuclear negotiations with the United States.
