[000:00:00;00] the state of the news line from berlin to explosions his crowded anniversary events in iran. the media seeing more than a 100 people, have been killed and dozens wounded during a memorial service for the senior general assassinated by the us of 2020. also coming up the killing of a top come off, official inmate roots sparks fears the war and gaza could spread liberties. the media saying is really drones dry killed the groups deputy political leaders, and the death toll from earth points in japan declines to at least 65 press cures

race against time to find the survivors with dozens of people believed to still be trapped under collapse building the village, welcome to the program. iran supreme leader has bound to carry out a harsh response after twin explosions in the country self killed over a 100 people. there's been no claim of responsibility yet for the blast, which happened near the grave of former top commander cost them slowly money. several people were also reported wounded in a stampede that followed the glass in the southeastern city of clermont warners had gathered for a ceremony to mark for years and solely money was killed in the us. drones drank, and a rock. you has condemned the explosions as an act of terror and called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. to simon mae bon is professor of international politics

at lancaster university and researches around and middle eastern politics. no group yet claiming responsibility for the attack. i asked them what the most likely options were, but it's really difficult to speculate at this point given how precarious the entire middle east this is easy to, to less maybe 4 or 5 different groups. because after all around is, is in a bit of a precarious position with a lot of, of rivals, a lot of enemies. and there's a lot of groups that would want to commit such heinous up against the islamic republic. but it's, it's also, i think, too early to try and speculate because speculating could pull fuel onto the fire of an increasing leak force and precarious middle east, with conflict in gaza, blasts and beta. ruth, no blast in iran. it's really quite a sensitive moment. iran quickly, it came out saying this was

a terrorist attack coming from ron's enemies. why do you think the regime came up with this very swift explanation before very much was even known at all or what it needs to demonstrate that it has some semblance of control, some semblance of order to run key officials were very quick to walk, to kill like that, that this was back to being business as usual, that it was back to being a very safe and secure environment. but in order to do that, it needed to demonstrate that that was suspect. that was probable groups on the narrative of, of a terrorist attack, perpetrates by x. then one of these is one that we've seen used by this limit for public countless times over the years. and then they used by many of the states who have enjoyed brutes, old file into techs. and we know, as i said previously, there are a number of groups that have expressed anger, frustration,

and violent condemnation against iran in the past. so the list of possible suspects about list of groups that might be held responsible for this is quite long, disagree at clear. and just to give our viewers a sense of what we're talking about here. who are those groups? so there's 2 different types of groups. i guess there's the, the states groups and narrow the all vs, it's israel and the united states after all, it was united states, but assassinated cost them so the money 4 years ago. so that the main, so the of vs external state threats. and then there's lots of other groups that either have roots in iran and of expressed anger at the socio economic frustrations or the treatments of those groups themselves or groups that are sort of in the periphery. so we're talking the likes of a slight mix states and various of shoes, office lumnick states or disenfranchised, but new she groups, for example. so again, there's

a large number of groups that have being deeply affected by the politics and the philosophy of the assignment, republic of a run leading to widespread and go frustration that has often erupt it in file. and so for the past few decades to assign and move on from lancaster university talking to us earlier. well, meanwhile, fears are rising, the, the israel, who mos war could spread after the killing of a top him off official and an explosion. and 11 on that, that be the political leader of the milton group, which is considered a terrorist organization by multiple countries was killed in the strike on an apartment building and they route 6 other people also died 11 on state run news agencies that the attack was carried out by israel is really government has neither confirm nor denied it's involvement. the aftermath of a deadly strike in the heart of loving on to one of how masses most senior figures

was killed by an explosion in this apartment building in the suburbs of been root. so how to rudy was deputy thomas's political leader smiled honey and a founder of the groups military wing that caught some brigades from us as designated as a tear group by the u. s. and e. u. among others. an auditory was on a u. s. terrorist list he had spend years and is really prisons. at the time of his death duty was living and loving on us. how mazda is keeley is in with the lebanese militant group. has bola had rudy also headed up how much his presence and occupied westbank and his hometown was remo? palestinians in the west bank held a general strike following use of his desk. the young resolved. i know for your in uh today we all need to like discharge and because

yesterday the hero and lita sally, rudy was small to taught how to do my own the year was always a good son of palestine who sacrificed himself for the palestinian cause. i'm not uh you know me such how do i, how do you pronounce leave new israel has not claimed responsibility for the strike . officials generally do not comment on operations outside of israel and the palestinian territories. but as rarely officials have previously vowed, tongue down from us leaders where ever they are for 11 on the strike on the route as seen as a violation of its territory. the lebanese prime minister called in an attempt to pull his country into israel's war with hamis hezbollah, and israel had been exchanging your daily fire along the lebanese as really border since the war began. the striking deep in lebanese territory has raised concerns of a major retaliation from his bola that would see the war spread out across israel's

northern border. for on this, i'm not joined by our middle east atlas sonia rosanna is shining. good to have you here again. so we just heard it, there hezbollah has vowed retaliation for this strike on the lebanese capital against a hamas leader. we just heard how send us roll of the head of has blood talk. what did he say about on an hour and 20 minutes and he didn't say anything concrete about that response. and it was mostly about building the case for the excess of resistance the way they see it. know it gets to us and against israel, talking about his success throughout the years and how they've managed, for example, to get the, the policy and topic back on the table. and he, you know, we were, you know, this was a speech. it was set up for the combination of customs, so when he's murder, so he was really important. what's important for him to bill that a wrong as the best that the head of this operation of the excess of resistance. but then at the same time, also sending

a message about the individual actions of each one of those partners and to access is doing. so a lot of talk, the tries to tell the palestinians we are there with you in spirit where there and would you in mind, however, no concrete action that are being promised or threatened by the strong has about to be taken as a response to a re or, and kind of coordination with the policy and a, gaza israel up front. so mostly a lot of solidarity, a lot of talk, but nothing completely. we see for now from the smaller he is expected to talk again on friday. so far we've seen the response along the board, a very common, very mouth. nothing that is different than the the back and forth of fire exchange and have been seen for the last name for there are a fierce that this might lead to an even greater escalation, dragging in other countries would 11 on what it has will. uh, would iran be even interested in that kind of scenario? it seems like not, you know, that was i think, how much and hope and wishes when they, when they started this the a tech when a wage, the attack on october 7th,

hoping that they will see other partners in this axis joining them primarily his bala. but also iran also the west bank and so on. this has not happened. and we've seen also one of the deterring factors with the american gerald ford carrier that was brought into the mediterranean sea to help protect the north of the border of israel to help israel with its efforts. this is something on the small as mocking. another part of his, of his speech was talking about is really turn is the to turns collapsing and how we cannot even survive without american support. how it's basically all a scam, or a sham and, and, and showing it as a weakness single, this alliance, this american is really alliance. for now, the carrier is still up, a plan to be is on the way out of the mediterranean. there are talks that these are, these might ask it to do a u turn and come back. but as long as we're still seeing it in the direction out, i think there's safe to assume there's not gonna be any escalation in the next couple of days. let's take a moment to look at mazda, because negotiations were going on to get more hostages slowly. yes,

yes. where does the killing of a re leave all of those efforts? the diplomatic efforts to get away out of if you talk to is really this one of the main concerns they have today. they're still over a $120.00 hostages kept by hamas and garza, and the hopes that they can re exam at another deal. the worry talks about the different stages and how it will work, of course, from us immediately after the assassination said, we're withdrawing and we're stopping any talks. israel claims it still feels that there is a chance because cost are still on board officially, at least they also say that a, we're used to be the most hawkish member in how much leadership. so they hope that his removal will actually on the long term allow more flexibility for hamas leadership. so for now, it doesn't seem like there is any negotiations going back and forth. and this is a main concern for many is really is and therefore for these really leadership as well kind of goes on is thank you so much. you're welcome to
