the government grants them more concessions, the mommy and he says, thanks for joining us. the united states is promising what it calls a very consequential response to a drone attack that killed 3 of its troops and jordan and wounded more than 40 others. us officials say the strike on saturday night hit a military outpost known as power 22 near the border with syria. it's the 1st time such an attack has killed american soldiers and the region since the start of the is really i'm off for us. president joe biden has blamed around back militants, though iran denies being involved us defense. secretary lloyd often use a meeting with nato secretary general in arlington, virginia to condemn the attack. good morning everybody. let me start with my outrage and for the death of 3 brave us from sin jordan and for the

other troops. one president and i will not tolerate attack on us forces. and we will take all necessary actions to suspend the us and our troops. that's bringing now. giorgio capero uh, ceo of gulf state analytics to washington, dc based geopolitical risk consultancy. thanks for joining us. so the us is talking here about consequential response. what do you think that will actually look like? yeah, thank you for having me on your program. right now in washington, there are many law makers, especially where the, the republicans who are trying to put pressure on the bite in administration to respond to by launching strikes against targets inside ron. i that would be a very reckless way to handle the situation that would risk an escalating

the crisis in the middle east to an entirely new level. and for that reason, my view is a bite and administration will probably not go that far. but i think we're going to see the bite in team decided to intensify us military strikes against groups backed by iran in the region are chiefly in iraq, syria, m, e m. in. um, as you said, the strikes inside iran would be unlikely, but we have actually heard reports that somebody run back fighters and syria are evacuating their posts. but basically anticipation of us strikes. do you expect that washington could soon hit targets inside syria? it's inside syria. yes. definitely, um it should also be noted that the is re lease has been doing this for many, many years. i mean i, i think um, you know,

in recent years at least one or 2000 times or so these re lease has been doing it. i think we might start seeing uh, the new last stating i this type of action and intensifying are these really strikes against iron g. c, links and militias that are present in syria and also perhaps in other countries too. let's talk more about the roles around here. because the bite in ministration said that this militia was backed by iran. but can you tell us more about what that means to be backed by iran? well, there is no denying that you're on sponsor as a whole host of the militias. inside i the rock syria and elsewhere, are you running an excuse of farms, money, training, political, moral support on everyone realizes that i think we're maybe some experts have disagreements where there's some debate is the extent to which officials into honda have direct control over these groups there were some people who argue that these

groups you proxies and the, the running authorities have complete control over them. there are other people who say, it's not quite that simple. busy and these groups have some agency and they get bashing from ron, but it's not the case that every single time they do something in the region. it's because they received instructions from your on i think some groups, maybe it's appropriate to consider them iranian proxies where as others, i think it's a little more appropriate to consider them allies, your partner's on the wrong, but not necessarily proxies. i think we have to look at each group on a case by case basis. giorgio capiro theo of golf state analytics. thanks for joining us. thank you. as the united nations has begun and investigation into its agency for palestinian refugee is known as on wrong, the organization is under intense scrutiny. after israel choose some of the staff

of being involved in the october 7th. i'm off terror attacks. several countries, including italy, germany, and us have halted financial contributions. the agency says that unless that funding is restored, we'll have to suspend operations and garza and ross, a condo. so one of gulls as last lifelines for many here. these blue and white bags of flour, a rule that stand between them and still evasion. but with more and more of the agencies don't, is cutting off that funding. people here in the southern city of rafa, the other west. that's what i look for, told me in the stopping moonrise, 8 distribution is a catastrophe in the gaza strip. of like is it was a handout on main supports and if they still that will via salmon, like the one of the know that color is going to be much as the thought of somebody when i can isn't what kind of a ross don't helping us then i'll people will face death a minute, 5 minutes,

who was helping on people who are hungry and suffering if they stop him, but we'll have no one on our side other than go to the details of these really allegations against monroe stuff has been slow to a much according to new york times sledging adult ca provided to the us government for these really secret services. 12 workers were involved, some said to have participated in kidnappings and killings, while others provided logistical support. the agency has already filed several people and is about to thoroughly investigate the claims for the un says the funding needs to continue. while that happens. palestinian officials and the occupied west bank have also urge donors to reconsider for the companies that have i know the suspension, they paid amounts to 70 percent of the time you went budget of the united nation

really fund work agency based measure is extremely dangerous. i mean, it is our hope that that would be provide us with most calls ins, no follows from the homes, but the fighting people here. i'm more dependent on the agencies help whenever the head of unreal has wound that if money doesn't start flowing again soon, it's will will grind to a hold. in a matter of weeks you a secretary of state and your blinking has called the allegations against the unreal, highly credible and deeply troubling. but he also spoke of agencies important work in gaza under his plate and continues to play an absolutely indispensable role in trying to make sure that men, women and children who so desperately need assistance in gaza actually get it. and no one else can play the role that under has been playing. certainly not in the, in the near term. no one has the, the reach of the capacity of the structure to do what honor has been doing. and

from our perspective, it's important more than an important imperative fit that, that role continue. so that only underscores the importance of unreal tackling this as quickly as effectively and as thoroughly as possible. some other stories making headlines around the world. a danish worship is on its way to the red sea to join us the admission against to the militants, the rebels back by iran. i've been attacking commercial vessels along the maritime route since the outbreak of the war and gaza, who these claim to be targeting ships linked to israel. pakistan and iran have agreed to improve cooperation following cross border strikes between the neighbors . less than 2 weeks ago or on struct what it called militant targets and pakistan is all about launched and attack and retaliation. since the middle east prime minister of georgia,
