john kirby says that the us response targeted sites linked to around revolutionary guard, or i or g c, and malicious, it support. he said, more attacks could be expected to the signal is the i r t c. and to these goods, and the attacks have got to stop. this wasn't just the message sending routine tonight. this was about the grading capability, taking away capabilities by the advocacy and, and, and, and the militant groups these responses began tonight. they're not going to enter nice. so it'd be clear more than 85 targets were shaped by the u. s. i asked middle east analyst and military expert, roger shanahan and sidney for more details on the strikes by the way still working off the information that they've been given by the us government. but i said that she said and thought targets at 7 separate sides and multiple targets at particular facilities. and they were designed to target come out of control facilities,

logistics support, elements within stop house, as you saw in the, in the video there. and it was not a move from the us announcement that it was designed to minimize possibility is vision civilian casualties. but also i wasn't mentioning, there is the fact that to dana across those. so i took part in this attack. so from what the us to say, this is the star as i i, campaign of retaliatory strikes. now after the u. s. strikes the european union's a foreign policy chief, joseph beretta called on all parties in the middle east to avoid further escalation says, we has been reviewed the ones in the game that to me, the lease is up the ball you that the kindness pro. and that's why we, we call everybody to try to avoid an escalation, but we are leaving

a critical situation to meet, at least on the whole region, no longer just and as far as the war you guys are continues, it's very difficult to believe that the situation is a delta t would improve? because one thing is related with the other is a domino a domino effect to region. our brussels bureau chief, alexander von nom, and has been following the meeting of e u foreign affairs ministers. they are clearly calling for restraint to avoid whitening the conflict. i asked her if some of these cautious words are directed towards washington. yeah, you right, michael, at least to some extent. i ask for instance, the belgium. foreign minister has the lobby about her opinion about the u. s. strikes, and she warns of the real risk of spill over a saying that that is the reason for high country to coal on every one, also on the u as to exercise restraint. because only diplomacy can help calm down the situation in the region,

but there were other for the ministers who showed more understanding for the us action and actions in the middle east. the polish foreign minister, for instance, right, is lupsi costs ki told us that the iranian proxies had been playing with fire for years and months. and that's now this fire is burning them. and the under secretary at the german foreign ministry who was here on the new i'm on also showed from understanding for the you as saying that those as twice happen in response to the killing calls, the american soul 3 american soldiers. and she also said that she trusts the u. s. a. and them saying that they don't want the situation to escalate. so as you can see my cold, there are very different positions on that here in brussels. exactly. we only have half a minute, but i do want to ask you this,

the top you diplomat address. yep. around also said the situation can't improve as long as the war in gas. it continues. but can you actually contribute in any way to ending the war? i mean, do you, as of course, the bigger play are there in the region, but we have seen a flurry of diplomatic activity with many european leaders and diplomats traveling to israel to egypt to cut her to health, to, to add this war. and there are seeing that intensifying they efforts because they think that the 2 state solution is key to bringing peace to the region. that's a dw brussels bureau chief, alexandra von nom, and as always, many thanks, alexandra. thank you. and back at the center of the conflict, israel's military has suggested it plans to move. it's gone to offensive further south into the city of ruffled more than half of the goss this population has been
