the, the, your watching w news live from building b as lot mix diag tara groups. is it carried out data, link bombings. you know, ron will then i see people were killed into bloss side of memorial for a top general to himself was killed in the us. try and strike 4 years ago. also coming up, israel announces a new phase in the war in gaza and not it's forces will take a more targeted approach is roll. so says palestinians will be in charge when the fighting is always off, but they'll be no role. so how much the

jared raid, welcome to the program. the so called islamic state says it carried out an attack that killed more than i see people this week in iran. the terror groups and its members were behind to bombed last the ceremony in the se, in city of come on, come in, there can memorizing the death of a top or rainy and come on to revolutionary god, general costume. so the money was assassinated by a us drawing in 2020 the attack during wednesday's memorial, march the 4th anniversary of he's killing the same. but now i is a professor of international studies at indiana university. he specializes in iran earlier. i asked him whether it's lennox dates, claimed that he'd carried out the bombings was credible. what appears to be credible. it appears to be to fit the patterns of their previous attacks in iran. that happened in 20222017. before that as well. um,

so it has all the hallmarks on the secondary and attacked good prices has carried out before and the fact that they chose the anniversary, the 4th and 4th year anniversary of awesome, solely monies assassination. really, i think, underlines there are kind of a similar pattern of attacks that they've carried out around the same commemorative moments in iran as well. okay, so you're saying this attack face patton's, the previous ios attacks? how strong is i as in the ron? and why is the group active then? so it's a very good question. um, if it is an affiliate that has previously carried out these attacks and a rod, a group called for us on which is based on of afghanistan or operates our back in a sudden mostly but then it's very, a shadowy group that the running security forces. i've had difficulties with that have some success containing them here and there. but it's

a very question as to why iran continues to be so wonderful to this. a very small terrace organization that it knows it has designs around especially these moments, and especially big the question as to how and why so much security attention is focused on the dissidents inside the wrong are people what political issues from within iranian society, when there are clear, national security threats lurking about that the government time and again fails to prevent giving these difficulties that use that your ron has in containing i s a iran is saying that it's going to that the attack is, will face the hoss reaction the, the supreme leader said this, what kind of reaction do you expect given the difficulties you just outlined? it is difficult to know in the past, the running revolutionary guards have launched operations where they have killed,

right? these they've claimed to have killed leaders of isis k, a whore us on group in as one to sign. or they have taken action against other chapters of isis operating out of rock and syria. but it's the scale of those punishments as a has varied from attack to attack. and usually time happens on a timeline that it's not immediately after the attacks have taken place. so given that so much there is going on in the region right now where iran has its work cut out when it comes to groups that it supports against israel, for instance, in, in living on and in syria and elsewhere. it. ready it really is unclear when you're on good a project power to really push back and attack the act if it is isis k in enough, get assigned or wherever else they masterminded this attack. thing really great to

get your insights and your expertise professor assign but not from indiana university. assign. thank you so much. thank you very much. the deputy later of come us has been buried in by ruth sally. i really was killed in a drawing, attacking the lebanese capital on tuesday. funeral processions were held for a re and to other last name is levon on some new list in his belied grapevines. israel for the assassination is ralph has no claim new tags, but it's a real target how my sling is wherever they are. this is rouse, defense minister, says heats forces will soon begin. anew stays in the war we've hamas, which is considered a terrorist organization by many countries. after months of bombing, these route is to adopt a more targeted approach in the north of the territory. it will still pursue hamas leaders in the south way. and most of the way most gardens have flayed, is rouse, defense minister also says that after the war palestinians will be in charge of

gaza, but they will be no role for homeless. the us secretary of state and steve link, and he's beginning a week long diplomatic to all of the region. and dig up, we use the washington bureau chief unit poll, spoke with you to retired us army general and former c. i a director david to try us about causes future and is rouse and military operation against him. us or miss refers, besides the one ukraine, we are witnessing another major military conflict in gossip with you experience this is even possible to destroy a terror or organization such as home us, militarily, it's possible. the question is whether it is likely at this point, they want to destroy a mosque, dismantle the political waiting, and obviously gain the recovery of their hostages. but there need to be other big ideas. there needs to be a big idea about who is going to administer guys. i think inevitably, at least on

a temporary basis, it's going to fall to israel to do that. there are no hands going up to do that. there's no capable competent, trustworthy palestinian entity. but can be brought over from the west bank. they wouldn't want to go in on the backs of is really tanks anyway. sounds as if it's transitioning into a more targeted raid approach that can indeed, killer capture leaders of gods and perhaps important elements of it. but we use that technique and ramadi and felicia and other areas in iraq prior. so the surge in one might disrupt the enemy periodically. it was not enough to destroy the enemy to destroy humanity. you have to render it incapable of accomplishing its mission without re constitution. the strategy is wireless. following right now comes with a huge sum, humanitarian cost. there is no question. i think that the loss of innocence should be life has been very troubling to our president,

vice president sector of state sanctuary. defense and others have reiterated, how crucial it is that you not to create additional? any means you don't foster and a new generation that might be attracted by the mazda ideology. and by the way, you go about destroying tomas and again, i want to see how much destroyed i want israel to be able to achieve that. i believe it is necessary. if you don't do that, then again, what's left will read constitute in, you're going to see the necessity for more such operations in the future. is there any drawing just killed the deputy? how much you've been very rude and that is also causing a more trouble if you want to say so. so evidence p and refuse is israel of trying to i for the seo drag, it's 11 and into a region of war. so my question is, i assume how concerned are you that the war will be spilling over to the whole region? i think you clearly have to be concerned about the possibility of

a whitening of the war if you will. and we can walk our way around the region live in on iraq, iran a human and so forth and discuss that. when it comes to the radi and supported lebanese, has bella, however, i've felt from the beginning and stated from the beginning that i didn't feel that his boatload wanted to get into the kind of war that they provoked with their actions back in 2006 you know, the original assessment in that case was that the is really air force and over promised and under delivered that assessment proved inaccurate and several times in subsequent years, once when i was a central command commander again, later when i was a director of the c i a, we went back in and change that assessment as we realize how much damage israel had done to has bullet infrastructure in southern london on,

in the fact that they were still rebuilding. i'm sure there are still signs of damage from that particular war. and i think that is why they have so far been calibrating what it is they have done. they want to show that they are supporting him, us, and they're doing it certainly very much rhetorically. but their physical actions have been limited to a handful or 2 handfuls of attacks per day that have only gone to a certain depth within his room. it is interesting that the most odd leader uh, david barnett has stated that this is going to be carried out in a way he alluded to what was done after the terrorist attack at the munich olympics, that they're going to hunt down from oscillators wherever they are. thank you. pleasure. as that was retired us army general lymphoma. c. i directed david betray is speaking to our washington bureau chief in his palm. let's take
