we all prepared for any scenario and we will stand united undetermined against any threat to isabel, but exact a heavy price. any aggression that guided stuff. so any front wheel, actually he is male, he is killing and the assassination of a top has block commander. have prompted please from worldly leaders for restraint . and while motivation for killing the hamas leader may stem from the groups. october 7th, terror attacks and israel, the animosity towards the nea goes back long before that is man he agreed surrounds new president. and what would be one of his last meetings just i was off to attending the president's integration. he and his body guard would killed in a strike on his residence in tehran. nia was the political face of hamas. the militant islam is carried out via october 7th terror attacks on

israel nea had not lived in guns or for several years. but ron, how must from cut to where he lived in exile, he became the palestinian prime minister in 2006, and continue to rise through how mazda is ranks eventually becoming its political chief in 2017 of how mazda is gone as a leader. yeah, he, us in law is believed to be in the most the minds of the october 7th. the tax was near represented hamas internationally and moved around the region, the diplomatic meetings. he was a key player in negotiations to stop the fighting in gaza. some via he's killing will be a may just set back to achieving peace in the region. near death came just i was off to israel said it killed celia. hezbollah, come on. the ford screwed in they would be attacked, also kills at least one woman and 2 children. and we did thousands. israel

says it targeted shopping in retaliation for rookie to attack on us soccer field in the is rainy, occupied golden heights. the to 12 children and teenagers is no blamed his blood and wound the military route. it would pay a heavy price. so could have been one of his beloved needing military figures since it was established by iran revolutionary god. more than 4 decades ago. after the israel, how must will bro pounds on october 7th, so quoted was accused by his right of being behind many of the drone. and he saw the tax that his belie loans to against israel. so crude is the most senior has block amanda to be to since 2016 when most of the bad reading the groups minute 3 come on, the in syria died in an explosion in damascus. i believe this via the depth of to

see me and he does. it is around the greatest enemies when tensions were where the boiling point could now from an old out regional bull to alex, the tonka is director of the red program at the middle east institute. in washington dc, given the tie security of news accommodations into iran, i asked him how humiliating this attack was for the iranian regime. oh, it's really difficult to describe how bad this is. i mean, this could not be in worse. this was a senior member of the so called axes of resistance of the rock some one day ryan has been cultivating ties with, as we just tried to segment since 2017 and earlier did not. and for him to show up and around feeling, you know, well received and he was what protected he wasn't. and that is uh to your question, stephen barry's ameliorating for, for the reading really. but i might quickly add, this is maybe the most high profile assassination by israel and in recent

memory. but it's not the 1st i'm in there. if you go back a decade in a happy israel has engaged in many successful, sabotaged and disaster nation attempts on uranium. so i need for any reason for whatever reason, just kind of stuff. i want to ask in a moment what that humiliation means for a counter attack. but 1st, do we know how much of the rent and security wrap around us has been infiltrated by israel? a, which obviously is impossible to tell in terms of where the problem is. this is a country with over does enough intelligence services. many of them that are rivals of one another. just to give you an example, the ministry of intelligence, notorious for how it's rivalry with the intelligence branch of the revolution and guards. there is sort of competition jealousy and so forth. how much of that is in the way of sort of looking for these uh, agents that are essentially working for foreign powers. most i, i would have to assume is one of the best in terms of having info created the rainy

and security and intelligence communities. and there are good reasons for it. here is islamic republic for 45 years, has promised to bring it by the end of the state, israel. so they, these radius including their telephone services, are highly motivated to go after iranian officials, irena and policies. and doing so by recruiting radians and it looks like they're recruiting radius of the highest level of their energy. what does that means, psychologically, for this ronnie and security apparatus and for their ability to achieve their aims, when they're so riddled with these kinds of agents, these counter agents, right. one of the 1st things that struck my mind when i was writing about it this morning is, as were speculating about how quickly, how big a rise retaliation will be against is really supreme. it, if somebody has come out of need. so many words said they will be a retaliation, and i'm sure there will be a retardation when we question that the,

how quickly are they gonna resolve? you know, how big they're going to tell you. this is what we need to keep in mind. the reading or she knows is entirely infiltrated. i mean, most i was a, me, i'm assuming i'm a side this. all those really hasn't taken flame toward the floor on which is my penny. it was sleepy, not right. this was an operation done by satellites for listening to phone call conversations and mobile phones. this required a top notch human intelligence, meaning you have people in the ringing regime that are working for those res, providing information. and that means if i was thinking logically, if i'm a rod, i must a guess or 2nd, guess my next steps in terms of what should i do? if i go back against israel, what do i not know in terms of where else they are infiltrated? what else they could do to stop in my tracks, and i think that might just create some slower reaction for me around. and

a lot of commentators into west right now are assuming will be the case that humiliation that we spoke about earlier. perhaps that need to save face, does it make a response from around even more dangerous? no, i mean these res, back in april, hit the range and then to see in damascus that was crossing a red line to kill, to senior really in general, the range of a game where humiliated and for the 1st time calling the public that came out and said we have to do solve it. now is real of the i to even more now israel has killed a senior member back to the resistance. someone would just hours ago met the radiance supreme leader had been in the reading. paul, in the middle, the senior officials, israel's message is very clear that he is going to law reach the curve, killed, accommodated, could have killed anybody, but it looks a thing. so, i mean, look, i don't think news release in terms of their strategy are sure from what i can tell what they want to achieve. well, one thing they did want to send in terms of the signal to the right is,

you will call to us by supplying his ball up. how much the who would fees and the others with missiles and drugs that are attacking us. and you'd be sending away 2000 kilometers, thinking you can just watch the show. but guess why we're not bringing it to you that seem to be what these really jock relation is also about. do you think that should the chances of containing this conflict, this regional conflict have dramatically changed the last 24 hours a lot. there's more pressure today than it was uh just a few days ago. no, no doubt about it, but i always go back to a simple question. i'm ask myself and as a novelist, when you arrive is doing the basic cost benefit analysis is original more in the runs interest. and the answer to that, to, to that question for me is clear, you know, iran would not benefit from the original warm and regional wheel drive the united states into that. i would risk the survival does not make republican, that is the most precious a policy. they have on the origin. right,

that's alex the taco with the middle east institute. thank you very much. thank you . over to another big story now, the man accused of being the mastermind of a september 11th terrorist attacks has agreed to a guilty plea to avoid a possible death sentence. colleen shake mohammed who is being held of the us military prison at guantanamo bay, has been in custody since 2003 us accuses him of being the main planner of the 911 attacks which killed nearly 3000 people, muhammad and 2 of his accomplices, have agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy charges in exchange for life sentences. i spoke earlier with terry strada chair of 911 families united, a group of more than 3000 family members, survivors and 1st responders for husband tom worked in the world trade center and was killed in the attack. we asked about the reaction of people in her group to news of this plea deal, and there is mixed emotions. the display deal. they are older,

family members is that believe that this will give them some type of relief, some type of closure. but the vast majority of the family members i've been speaking to are very angry and we feel like justice was denied today in cuba. so this was something that pay us them and the others wanted. so it's a victory for them. and i don't feel like we should ever give them in victory. this is a sign of a very weak leadership in our country to strike such a deal. that of like i just said, a vast majority of family members do not support, do not want. and we do not want him to have this victory. they've gonna plead guilty. they're going to get to stay in guantanamo bay, a. they're going to invade the death penalty. and i mean they, they government sent us the letters said we could ask them questions. i don't want to submit any questions to any of these men. they already caught us. they are

looking for media attention. they will send out some type of message to their brother's in their answers, and i don't believe we should give them. and i'm out of attention and let them speak out at all a life sentence and maximum prison. what has been a better outcome then? a max sentence at guantanamo bay. guantanamo bay is like a country club for them. they get to exercise. they get to go outside, they get to pick their diet, they get to reading books. i think they can watch movies, you know they're, they're living not in a very difficult circumstances. and so yeah, i wanted to see them either in a max prison or face the consequences of what you did. you murder, nearly 3000 americans on american soil, and you boasted about it. and you also said if you had the opportunity to do it again, that you would, these men do not deserve any mercy. so yeah,

the death penalty was the right punishment. and like i said, it's been taken away from us, a terry straw that their head of 911 families united. here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. ran and home us are accusing israel of assassinating who mazda top political leader is mile and year in an air strike into a hardline protesters to the, to the streets, vowing revenge and denouncing israel. and the us with growing peers of a wider regional conflict is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country was prepared for all scenarios and warned of severe consequences for anyone who tries to attack is real. and don't forget, you can always get the news on the go, just download our app from google play or from the app store. i'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news. you'll also find sports, business and entertainment news plus analysis and background from our correspondence around the globe. and this live feed you're watching right now. it's
