Longtime CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer went on air Saturday morning following the U.S. and Israel launching a major attack on Iran, and the first words out of his mouth were ominous.
“Looks like this is gonna escalate big time in the coming hours, and days, for that matter,” Blitzer said moments after joining “First of All with Victor Blackwell” at around 8 a.m. Saturday.

Blitzer’s statement came as Blackwell was recapping Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel and U.S. military sites across the region. Blackwell noted that Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had “promised an expanded regional response” in the event of a strike, and “we’re now seeing it.”
