Sen. Mark Kelly gives remarks on Iran's attacks on Israel

Speaking Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Arizona Senator Mark Kelly addressed Iran’s series of missile and drone attacks against Israel.

Kelly, who serves as a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said U.S. officials are focused on helping Israel and avoiding greater conflict.

“We don't want to see this escalate. Last night, we supported Israel in their defense very successfully. This is a very aggressive act by Iran. They've been doing this for months now through their proxies, but now directly from Iranian territory, so this is significant," he said.

Kelly says there is concern about Iran’s nuclear capability, especially with the proximity to Israel.
