4:02 am
south releasing shrapnel into the screaming crowd. the local media captured the moment people started running as they heard the 1st explosion go off. another glass nearby followed some minutes later, thousands were attending the ceremony, honoring the prominent iranian general custom solely many killed in the us, drake, in 2020. the us says it has no role in this attack. and that israel didn't either. it's too early, at least for us to be able to say what might have caused it. but i do want to address some of the irresponsible claims that i have seen circulating, say that number one, the united states was not involved in any way. and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous. and number 2, we have no reason to believe that israel was involved in this explosion. it's believed to be the lease attack in iran in over 40 years. there were reports of
4:03 am
a stampede that injured several people. as the tried to run away. the un responded with calls for accountability. the secretary general strongly comes via talk today on a memorial ceremony and carmen city and the stomach republic over on which reportedly killed more than 100 people and injured many more. the secretary general costs for those responsible to be held accountable. 3 human to ron has labeled the explosions as a terrorist attack. while iran supreme leader had told the human a vow to retaliate promising a harsh response. so the us as denied any involvement earlier i asked alex of a tank of iran expert at the middle east institute in washington dc. who could have carried out the blasts as well. to be honest, is too early to point the finger at any one group. what we have seen
4:04 am
so far, uh, in terms of the reigning announcements, we've had the re minister of interior making the claim that the us and israel were involved. but they made this is sort of almost generic. it's almost a knee jerk reaction that you often hear from senior leaders without providing the evidence. as i said, it's a political statement, not reflecting any kind of serious investigation. one thing i do note of is that i the palm and a to supreme leader in his statement, reacting to the bombings did not point the finger i the united states israel or anybody else for that matter. and i think that is probably a reflection of fact that they ran into authorities right now a do not know who's behind it and be they don't know what their next step ought to be. all right, alex, but they did say the raining and government did a call it a terror attack and they did vive to respond harshly. so what form might that
4:05 am
response take them to? well, i mean, obviously we need to know who to live would have been behind it. it really quite, it would shape it arrives next steps. i mean, if it's, if it's extra or entity likes to israel, that requires a different sort of calculations on the part of the turn around and say, a domestic of opponents of the receipt book. these 2 bombings city happened to the province of care mon, which is relatively in the southeast of the country, not far from the reigning border with pakistan and the province. a village of stock, which is next to care mon problems is a region known for militancy for organized crime. and at times even minutes and you had as soon as you add to regime operative just 2 weeks ago or 11, your rainy the officers were killed by jo hodges group. so there are actually the entities inside of the runs borders that could have been behind it. but again,
4:06 am
i want to go back to what i said. it's really early. iran has a long list of domestic opponents and external opponents. it could be domestic, it could be external, it could be a combination of both it, we have to wait and see. all right, despite what you're saying there, and this, these attacks did happen at a memorial for cast himself, remind me who was assassinated by the us 4 years ago. so do you think there is much significance in where the attacks took place to? oh absolutely, uh but you know, uh awesome. so the money as you point out what the size and aided by a trim and ministration 4 years ago. but you have many enemies. he had an amusing side of a rodney of enemies in the region, including as we've discussed so far, the state of israel and the of of so the money country does so the money about to eradicate from the face of the map. so yes, there's a symbolism here, no doubt about it. but i think it's too early
4:07 am
a took to sort of make the conclusion because of what's happening in gaza and the timing. this is somehow linked to iran's bigger regional planned costs. and so the money was the architect, i'll be rides forward, defense is supplying weapons and training to groups like how much is beloved. so what it might very well be that they are connected, but it could also be a case of opportunities and by the rainy and opposition group. in this case, most likely to jihad is that operating, the se, that have decades long track record of targeting uranian officials to get on a bore you. but we just don't know right off to be able to conclusions yet. thanks her insights. alex alex of a tank of from the middle east institute in washington dc. thank you. a hezbollah and israel have continued to exchange rock and fire a day after the killing of a hamas leader in the lebanese capital bank. route has bought, blames israel for the attack, although it has remained on claimed. israel generally refrains from commenting on

the suburbs of bay root israel. and has the law has continued to fire at each other across the border, an almost daily occurrence since israel's will we, tomas, began the 11 east political party and military group is backed by ron and considered a terrorist organization by the us, germany and some sunni arab countries, israel has no officially claimed responsibility for the strike on a route, but less than a securities also said it was caused by an israeli drawing, has blah has vowed to retaliate, calling it a serious assault on lab and on the fact tell i get the enemy because of waging a war and 11 and, and they then say, well, we will fight without restoring to without means without lay my eyes. then without restrictions, a yes. right. awesome. knows what i mean. he's rouse main ally. the us
4:10 am
who said it was nursing homes before the blasting beverage said washington is now urging restraint to tape the wall contained just want to before. we don't want to see it. why beyond israel and am awesome. again, we're going to keep working with partners in the region to prevent that from that has the law has so far refrained from escalating beyond board. a skirmish is with these ro, visa tac in the hoss of lebanon has raised fees of an all out war. and these railey army says it's on high alert and ready for any scenario or donald trump has asked the us supreme court to intervene over a ruling binding him from the primary pilot in the state of colorado. in december, the state supreme court disqualified trump as a presidential candidate over his role in the january 6th. the sold on the us capital judge has ruled that his actions were a violation of the us. constitutions rarely used insurrection. close.
4:11 am
all right, well for more on this, so i'm joined here in studio by dw reporter and durham and ben, great to have you here. so we're going to break this down because it's quite complex. and so what is this interaction clause exactly? well, the trumps opponents, the hoping it's the kind of constitutional kryptonite to prevent him from ever taking office again. but speaking more literally it's the section 3 of the 14th amendment was passed off to the civil way back in 18. 68. it was intended at the time to stop the confederates, the rebels who lost the war, coming back and regaining office off. there were betting us the government and it's very simple. $0.22 as long essentially says that if you took an oath to uphold the constitution, you then participate in a rebellion in this direction against the government. you all disqualified from holding a holding office again, unless she was majority of congress as you can. and in colorado, sprinkle and defend the rule that will happen on january 6,
4:12 am
was nature insurrection. what donald trump did that day if you recall, telling his support is go fight like hell before the storm, the capital, what he did cause he's taken pause the interaction. so the court said, going to this, this ration you took part, become the president, that's what they ruled. and they said that for he shouldn't even be on the primary valid. all right, but tell us, what are donald trump and his lawyers now arguing well that throwing a lot of different elements of the world? firstly, they say interaction wasn't interaction, that's, it was a political process that spirals became violent, got out of control. they're also arguing that even if it was in his direction, donald trump, himself was involved, he just spoke at the event he, he just said things. and in the, in the us, the 1st amendment protects the rights free speech. and that saying that he shouldn't be prosecute on those grounds. they're also on doing of the same time to okay, if it was new direction. and if he did take part, that still shouldn't match. and they're all going very legalistic rounds. that because this section of the member doesn't specifically say you called the
4:13 am
president, should take part in his direction. the adult from shouldn't be it. on those grounds, there was making much broad kind of volumes with us saying that this is fundamentally known. a question for colorado to the side, that is the question that congress should be deciding on, and that the supreme court needs to tell colorado essentially, you know, start piece, right? so as i say, it was a certainly very complex. then if you could, every briefly, what can we expect the supreme court to add the site? well, that is the huge question that everyone is wondering about right now. it is on press that question that this amendment has never come up in this way before the supreme court is also not a question that cuts so clearly on kind of normal, logical grounds. obviously there's a 63 conservative majority. 3 of those 6 were appointed by trump, but a lot of conservative legal scholars say this amendment is pretty clear that he should be as qualified if he took part in this direction. what is certain is that this is a huge political question that whatever decision they make will have
4:14 am
