after funerals for 7 members of the revolutionary guard who were killed iran warrants. but it reserves the right to quote, take a decisive response to iran, says is really war plans were used and what it considers a major escalation and israel's war with regional adversaries. earlier i spoke to the ron security expert, have been on ben tower, i believe from the washington based research institute foundation for defense of democracies. i asked what these threats from iran could really mean. we've seen the clerical regime in the wrong problem is something similar before. for example, in response to real or perceived threats from israel in 2022 and again in 2024, the regime ended up striking publicly from its own territory. the targets in iraq that ended up being the homes of kurdish business and to show you this and civilians alleging that those targets were most of bases. in the past,

these monica public has been increasingly interested in willing and able to publish the launch missile operations. the more capable they have become, but thus far in the history it has never directly targeted this really territory publicly from its own territory using these weapons. and so what is the risk of us seeing a full, our regional war now? or there's certainly the risk, but looking at iranian commentary, particularly within the past 48 hours, while there is talk of quote unquote, a slap against israel and lots of political and security and military officials on a recently manufactured iranian holiday called codes today. the other day, which is held at the last friday of the home, the month of ramadan, between their commentary. if you set a rest between the lines uh, was a lot about how we run felt in bold. and because it sounds like it was already winning the battlefield, the post october, 2nd, middle lease. so my assessment is that a run is likely not going to do something to shake off the current trajectory. so

that might mean not targeting is real directly or again, launching an attack against a 3rd party country, or more likely, you've even had iranian political officials talk about terrorism. they can, this is really embassies. so what capacity would iran they'll have to hurt as well? uh it broadly depends on how one defines her. it's, i mean uh, within the past 48 hours, you've had the wrong in a news agencies actually admit that this brigadier general that was killed into damascus right brigadier general, inside the allegedly part to occur health plan side of the october 7 terrorist attack, which is in erie, slip of the tongue, given tech runs denials for the past 6 months. so clearly they have a robust terrorist apparatus in the past. these relays in the wrong hands have traded pharmacies, cyberspace that could potentially continue as well. but it's also an open question because the deadline was pointing a finger at america despite the very public american denial. if it will resume malicious attacks in the heartland of them, at least like in iraq and syria,

against us positions in your assessment just briefly, what could be done right now to de escalate the situation? if anything or you know, listen, this is, this is a really tough question, because i think the iranians at this point in time are politically locked in, they've sunk a lot of costs publicly and rhetorically about feeling the needs response. and the question is, how will they intend to save race here and work in the west and israel and others do to bolster determine is to limit any kind of potentially running response. and i'm ben, talent blue, senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracy. thank you so much for your time and your analysis. thank you. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world. government backed candidate patter, pelligrini one, slovakia as presidential election and a close race is appointments to the largely ceremonial ro won't be a boost to slovakia as a crow, russian prime minister roberts pizza. under features leadership,

political asylum. he is facing a string of corruption charges from his time in office. a staff member from the mexican embassy made their opposition to the raid known global. how easy the criminals rate at the mexican embassy equipped. all right, but that's not possible because it can't be to know if it's mountainous nor part of it said the board off the move to enter a diplomatic compound, as against the convention, leading mexico to cut ties with its latin american neighbour. mexico announces the immediate suspension of diplomatic relations with a quinoa. mexico will appeal to the international court of justice to hold a quick door accountable. the violations of international law in the jorge eyeglass, seeing here in 2017, took refuge in the embassy last december. after an arrest warrant for a legend,

corruption was issued against him. he had previously been sentenced to 6 years in jail for graft, and was released just weeks before he entered the mexican embassy. the ecuadorian government said in a post that it is a sovereign country and will not allow any criminal to go on punished, adding they reiterate their respect for the mexican people who shared their feelings for the fight against corruption. in mexico city, a large police presence was also visible at the ecuadorian embassy. after the regional sped escalated into a full blown diplomatic crisis from war, i'm joined now by dw reporter arthur sullivan. he's been following this story for us. so arthur, why would ecuador take such a drastic step? yeah, certainly a drastic step david, but one that has been building, building towards this step over the last week in particular. so from acros

perspective, this non hor, glass is a fugitive from justice. someone who they feel entirely justified to go offering this way. from mexico's perspective, it's an egregious, an average breach of, of diplomatic norms of what they say is, is the, the norm and international relations. but where is it come from? so it's the particular building since december last year. when hor glass, who was a long serving left wing politician in ecuador, under the former left wing leader there raphael coretta. he would have been a very well known politician there, but he was convicted on charges, red and corruption and then all the charges written to bribery was sent to prison. but he was released from prison in november 2022. and then since last december, he was given refuge in mexico and was there at the mc, but for the last few months, backward or has been trying to get him back and then things we took a turn in the last week when the last wing populous leader, of mexico, commonly known as i'm lo, i'm lo am over a brother or he question, 1st of all like,

would always reason, presidential election question that's it's conservative strong my mater there and saying suggesting that the presidential election he won last year had been perhaps in some way painted, also accusing the issues around the, the murder of, of the candidates. and these kind of issues coming up eventually then that the mexican ambassador was expelled. and it led to this incident and where the, the embassy was rated and attempt to get them out of there. so that's what it's been building towards. right. so these tensions i've been building up over the last days how serious of a bio lation of international law is this rating and other countries embassy. it's very serious. so the 1961 vienna convention is the framework by which diplomatic relations between international states has been established. and it's a major international trade here which these countries are signatories. and it states states explicitly there that the premises, the diplomatic premises belong to a country in another country, are inviolable in viable. there shouldn't be entered without the express permission of the head of admission. but that is obviously not happen here. ecuador has gone

into the mexican and embassy without any, any permission whatsoever. and so it is a very serious breach, and just put it in context. this did used to happen a lot more in, in the eighty's, in las americas. but there hasn't been any similar incidents over the last 40 years, and so it is a really serious escalation by acro arthur sullivan. thanks so much for your insights to russia now where a dam collab since forest thousands to leave their homes in the city of orest. authorities have opened up an investigation into why its original rains cause the structural failure near the border with conflicts time. this is the rush you city of both. usually the city straddles the river, but now the river envelops the city. to venture rain caused the nearby down to best leading the boat to the levels to search to more than 8 and a half meters. that's more than for me to is about the safety levels of society.
