a striking bay routes on tuesday. well, natalie got a into cause is crazy, hysterical event, no need. and the preventive is israel feel then that he and is experiencing a kind of defeat. oh no, i'm in the mail. it knows full well. yeah, there's no victory for it. yeah, i'm that i so 90 got mean and decided la sala, rory was deputy to him. off is, lita is smell honey a and the group's kaylee. a's on with has the law in lebanon since a raise assassination in the suburbs of a root israel and has the law, has continued to fire at each other across the border, and almost daily occurrence since israel, as well with him off, began the lebanese political party and militant group is backed by ron and considered a terrorist organization by the us, germany and some sunni arab countries. israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the strike on a route, but live in

a securities also said it was caused by an israeli dry and has blah has vowed to retaliate calling it a serious assault on living on the fact that while i get the enemy because of waiting a little and 11 and, and they then say, well, we will fight without restoring tool without leaves, without letting me eyes. then without restrictions. yes, well knows what i mean. he's rouse main ally, the us 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 wide 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 discussions with these rules. but this attack in the heart of lebanon has raised fees of an all

out war. and these riley army says it's on high alert and ready for any scenario. and from where, let's bring in data use middle lease analysts shiny versus honest. so i mean, when we talk about this strike against the deputy hamas leader on this funeral list today, as we've mentioned in the root, you know, there, the strike in particular was and it has the dominated neighborhood. there has been promises of retaliation, but so far we have seen nothing really from has below that has been major and significant. correct. what does that mean to you? what has below is that it's going to take time in order to reserve itself the right to respond when and how it sees fit. and this while also said it's very get put, you know, clearly in his speech yesterday, it doesn't mean anything, you know, especially in this region, every tiny misfiring can turn into a very big event. but, but we do see that the, the is really the forces of that probably are behind us, took a sort of a bet. so sort of

a gamble. they were thinking that is the spicy alliance between his ball and from us. his ball is limited with his ability to actually go, ballistics go berserk, you know, in this response when it comes to things connected to hum us and not to lebanon, because of the political situation. 11th, because where, you know, lebanon has a break of collapse as a lot of resistance for any idea of israel attacking. i love it in again, which is something that is real is starting to do, cuz it keeps saying we will turn the root into gaza if you're a tech fiercely by his level. so his spell is very limited in its ability to actually go all in and fighting against israel, and israel was betting on it. and so far it seems like this was a successful. but top of this little bit more about the is really strategy because we saw this week as we will withdrawing some of its troops from gaza. and as you know, there have been very loud calls for a ceasefire. when we talk about this operation in gaza, are you seeing potentially larger stepped in strategy here when it comes to targeting a mazda or are we likely to see, you know,

more targeted attacks going forward, especially with some of the leaders and most commanders abroad. like for example, based on laguna, well, definitely is really looking for that moment for that they can capture it as a victory to, to define is a victorious moment. you know, to counter all those horrors. have pictures from october 7th, something to sort of turn things around for the morale for is really, you know, pride in going forward that has a from us is one of these very, you know, easy targets to, to sign, you know, to, to set and to sort of achieve, especially when comes to lebanon, which is an easy territory for israel to reach, unlike katara, with the other heads of her mazda or turkey, where i don't think is, will, will jeopardize this relationship with air. do. and that are already very stretched . you know, tens um there is a need to find how mosley this because it seems to be the only tangible and gold is really army can actually deliver on right now. because what we're seeing and gaza is a lot of, you know, it's getting lost in the month of cause. why is this really say it? you know,

they cannot really defeat from us so easily as they may have thought at the beginning. they find themselves, you know, how much does very well trent inside the tunnels and, and, you know, can use the hard, the heart of, of the, how my separation of where is really military's operating. the so tough fights and israel is actually getting maybe some tactical gains, but strategically not much has changed and they're getting a lot of push back. also, we have to say from restaurants outside the united states of cross and today blinking us secretary of state planning a trip to the middle east that they have called for the strikes. this really strikes to be more targeted. the americans is, or what about about the surgeon and where that relationship was stand when it comes to the, the assassination americans are behind that they, they of course, did not confirmed that is related, but they said it was a, you know, i really was a brutal a terrorist and his staff therefore was very much, you know, he was a, he was a legitimate cause, the way they see it. but it is true that if we look at the overall strategy of where, where israel is heading,

the americans are not happy. they don't see enough clear planning for the day after from us or in gauze. i'm what's happening for the past thing. and then they would very much like to see this moment of crisis and terrible uh, war as, as an opportunity for re shaping the whole me least along with some new forces like the saudis and other countries like egypt. jordan, this one that are there allies is really because of the why, right? the government because when it and you know is, is not so happy to even discuss that opportunity this, this option. and for now these rift are still manageable. but i think as we progress further and further into the year, the americans it's, you know, foot by them. it's an election year. it's gonna get harder and harder for these risk to not be shown very publicly. the shiny was on us. thanks for the and also welcome sir. it's a ron is morning, the deaths of more than 80 people who are killed in an attack on a memorial event for a top general, a running president abraham where you see has vowed revenge on israel, which has neither confirmed nor denied. it was behind the blast. the attacks targeted memory sions,

of the top commander of consumption. the money was assassinated by us strong in 2020. these are the deadliest attacks and these law made for public history. the incident has sparked fears of a whitening conflict of a widening of the israel gauze, a conflict. there's been a lot of speculation about who could be behind the attack, including suggestions that israel may have been involved. because well, a robbie is a middle east analyst from the non profit organization united against nuclear iran . he says there is no evidence to prove that. i think it's important to take a step back and assess the keys to cope for its now be pro, raising base in iran, as well as those who have an irrational hatred. ad was based around outside of around her being quick to blame each route. but i've done say without any evidence . and of course, israel has conducted co operations in iran for full nice, 45 years,

but no one has it targeted ordinary uranium people. it strikes inside of iran has been surgery who have targets in the regimes leaks all g c elite. so i think, but with confidence we can rule out is rose row in this. the next coat, prep the next the keys, cobra is the regime itself. there are large sways the radium population and the opposition if it gets outside of iran who upset that this is an inside job for the raising to achieve it strategically. objectives. now there is some close ability. so you this based on the fact that previously the regime has conducted inside jobs and the thing that it's noticeable in this regard and relates to yesterday's attack, is that according to she is lot make at tradition and cost of a memorial service must be attended by close family members and friends on the right and people are claiming and highlighting the fact that not one member of the

cost them so they money's family, was in attendance in yesterday's memorial service. neither why any senior audiology si come onto it. so i think that the inside drop scenario is certainly close to both, but there is a 3rd cohort here as well. and i think this is much more likely in the sense that they are claiming isis could have conducted this attack. the attack itself certainly has all the hallmarks of ices operations in iran. and of course, since the us switch over from afghanistan, it's being very easy for individuals, members across the board, the interests kind of into the wrong talk with us about what might come next around the president abraham. all right, you see it has threatened retaliation. what form could that take as well, regardless as to whether this is at side code inside job or whether it was a isis, the outcome, the consequences actually see the strategic objectives of these long republic.

they're all in the sense that it's likely that the right easy will blame isis, and that will enable the i r g c to respond. and to do so by the display of force age of the rock to is mainly route in the us to do so without drawing any retaliation. it also domestic great, has given the regime a pretext to further clamp down on the uranium p for an already senior members of the regime in the box. the son of i it's, i'll hook you up with somebody who is a panel you on a senior member of the offices. the pre nita has already said that the raising must go off to the domestic individuals. but they would like me to see a domestic front down again, seats. the raising was objective, and it also ideologically keeps the flame of ma to a live. now the flame of motion, the concept of marsden, is essential to the regimes audiology and the essential to mobilizing the whole base of the islamic public. so on all 3 accounts,

the consequences and the repercussions of the code from yesterday's, the top are in line with the strategic objectives of the former public. and that was around security analysts because there are a robbie speaking with me from london. let's take a look at some other stories making news. to rescue workers in japan are racing against time to find survivors of the devastating new york state earthquakes. the confirmed death toll has risen to $84.00 with at least $179.00 more. unaccounted for. rescuers are still struggling to reach some of the worst hit areas for just 5 minutes to refuse to knock says that a general election is likely to take place in his 2nd half of this year. his conservative party has fallen behind on cold with the opposition. the neighbor party, while ahead installation and a cost of living crisis are likely to dominate election campaigns. so us court has unsealed court records containing the names of people linked to
