the responsible for these attacks and their repercussions on regional and international peace and security shall p, and be not. the meeting took place in the un security council chamber of the 15 member body leads. the united nations convened to discuss the recent attack carried out by israel that resulted in the death of 7 iranian officials, including a top general. now b u. n. meeting indicated clear differences as the united states and its allies would not condemn israel to action. so now russia was pretty harsh and its words showing that what israel did was a flagrant violation of international law. however, the united states that it couldn't confirm where the attack took place and that prompted a rather interesting exchange between the united states and russia. here's some of what we heard on the floor of the un security council meeting and wants to be clear us, we do not yet have confirmation of the status of the building that was struck in damascus

. any confirmed attack on property? there was, in fact, a diplomatic facility would be of concern to the united states. so as you do see, see news. and we listened attentively to the speeches of all western colleagues and will, once again struck by this sentence, does in mind double standards cues from the level of balancing act. so it was difficult to understand why we're here until the representative for from say anything except for what if, condemnation, the brand know, but is there any violation of international law, kona east, if it was your embassy, it comes to it in the region of things would you react to the same way. visual rules based on an old is the evidence. the us always has 1st hand information on any master. look how amazing it is this time. washington still has no confirmed information about the strike on the rating and comes to the general hard to believe . and the speeches of the u. k. and the us that we're not hence, but direct references to the fact that iran and syria themselves were to blame. the

israel's attack on the radio comes to that. it's difficult to imagine the grades and blasts were made. there was no need to call on others to de escalate and labeled the victims on the is attacked as aggressive in this context. any possible escalation of the situation will be entirely on your conscience. that was russia, referring specifically to the fact that france said that the entire situation was the fault of iran, that the strike took place in the context of an escalation that france says, was iran salt making here, ron responsible for the incident? it's also important to note that china spoke about how important it is not to attack diplomatic missions and consulates and china references an attack on its own diplomatic facility that took place 25 years a go. this is the representative of china to go to the doctor what 25 years ago he

made a chinese embassy in the south. china sea was hit by a us led nato air raid causing casualties and damage to personnel. we are deeply moved by the grief of the iranian government and the people in deeply sympathized with them. according to the vienna convention on foreign relations and the recognized basic principles of international relations. the security of diplomatic institutions cannot be violated if we let this kind of act go without a bottom line, and without consequences, we will all be guilty. siegel and the red line between international law and international relations has been broken again and again. it was the chance meeting in the un security council chamber as iran, it says it plans to retaliate against the israel strike that violated not only serious, territorial or integrity, but also he had an iranian diplomatic facility. now at this point, so many are looking on the meeting and seeing clear differences as the united states, france and other nato countries would not condemn this action by israel,

which many are noting the hypocrisy of when we hear so much from these western leaders about a so called rules based global order. well, off to the meeting, the french delegation put the responsibility over the regions escalation on the wrong, on syria. well, we've discussed these accusations with jen this daniel is and he says that is well is pushing us to join the will by instigating more conflict in the middle east. and there's no evidence that syria or a or a ran had anything to do with the october 7th attack. absolutely no evidence whatsoever. in fact, it ran has tried to reduce the level of hostility, according to, to american news out outlets like the new york times. there's no interest on the part of syria or iran in whitening the war. uh so this is completely

a red herring. the us has a that has 40 years of hostility towards the, towards the ran on its record of the us launch the proxy war on syria that just devastated that country no fence, exact and those decades in terms of economic development. the us is extremely hostile that has voted loss so therefore the is the us does not mind terribly. if israel terry's at a strike like this, the western countries are very closely or allied with the israel. they're not going to condemn israel. they're back. i think it's warns awesome. they are also hospitals who ran and so they are full and, and as well as syria, of course, israel has every intention of watching war because the war, the more assess. so the more it was, the us into the club. and that's what is really so well, this comes as

a role and has reacted with few read to the latest is really attack on it's called select in syria, which of course, resulted in the desktop, 13 people. now this included several high ranking offices strikes against diplomatic premises, violate the vienna convention. eye witnesses have been describing the scale of the devastation to look, i didn't know what happened. one moment i was standing on the sidewalk and the next i found myself on the opposite one. i thought i was hallucinating. i didn't know what to do, but like every time i become a little optimistic and think things are okay, i find that things are growing significantly worse. we've never seen entire buildings collapse and holmes exploding a building, collapsing on it. civilian inhabitants. it's a lot since it runs president, has about to take action against israel following the attack. he says that such an escalation will not go unpunished. once again in a terrorist crime,

and engrossed violation of international regulations, the dirty hands of design, this regime have been stained with the blood of generals and officers of our country. design history team has put blind assassinations on its agenda, but it should know that it will never achieve its sinister goals with such in humane measures. this cowardly crime will not go on, answered if one is infuriated by these were the air strike on monday that killed 2 high ranking r t. c generals and 5 officers at its consulate and syria. among them was a burglar general mohammed resolved so heavy, a senior commander in the least of all it's 4. so these womic revolution guards core, which is of course the for an operation arm of the r g c. so he was one of the longest serving members of the r g. c. first joined the forces in 1980 during the iran iraq

war, when he demonstrated exceptional leadership skills and rapidly assigned to the ranks of just 20. he was leading a battalion of soldiers and b, a tier iran, iraq war, and 2005. he got his 1st high ranking position. and as the commander of the art gcs ground far, she later became the head of the thoughts force and syria and lebanon. design, he reportedly played a pivotal role in coordinating with his ball law and other pro. iranian miller shows, in lebanon and syria, which led to the stop, which meant all, once we know today as the access of resistance that's engaged in fighting as well and attacking us spaces recently, i'm at the gaza war. so it's safe to say that he was a heavy wage military figure, not only for a one, but for the whole resistance access many describe him as the highest ranking iranian general to be killed since that he was assassinated. a general hospital

imani, backend 2020. now, while it was mission to be united nations has labeled incident as a terror attack. a wave of condemnation has also poured in from across the world, calling these way the attack a breach of international law to china condemns the attack on the, on an embassy in syria. the security of people medic, institutions can not be violated and serious solvency, independence and tutorial integrity should be respected. the current situation in the middle east has turbulence, and we oppose any options that lead to an escalation of tensions. the government of guitar completely rejects the targeting of diplomatic and consular emissions and states its firm position and rejecting violence and terrorism regardless of its motives and reasons. the attack is an unacceptable violation of the sovereignty of syria and undermines its stability and security. be irresponsible act of the is really forces is a major escalation in an already volatile region. the head of the russian for an

intelligence surface has also called these radiate attack on. ringback iranian consulate, an ugly and criminal step, the russian foreign ministry has also condemned this. right. and now moscow has called for a un security council meeting on the issue upon or was request which is to take place later on tuesday. everyone has also place the blame, mainly on washington, saying that the was full and on wavering support for his royal has led to quote, as wells insolence and overstepping all international conventions. after the attack, the iranian foreign ministries summoned a swiss embassy official who represents washington into one during the meeting. it runs a foreign minister wholesale. i mean, the young said that the us as a supporter of israel must be held accountable for this latest incident. however, washington has reportedly denied its involvement in beauty. again said that it

didn't, it didn't have any information. it was going to happen in general. so have you had been on till of eve's head list for a long time and the idea fused? any opportunity to take down the top i r g c commander of course. it's not the 1st time as well as targeted iranian military advisors and syria. back in january 5, all our team members lost their lives in an easy way. the air raid on a residential building and syria's capital damascus one been responded by targeting a most sides center in your box, curtis down region now as tensions escalate. this 52 to one is us speaking about a hard fatality ation against this latest is rainy strike, which has raised piers out of the cycle of violence would intensify across the whole middle east. well meanwhile, following the serious strike, israel has threatened and daily attacks on that side of me is nothing in the same

every day. we gain further evidence that we find ourselves in a multi front war that is both offensively and defensively. we see evidence of this every day, including over the last few days. we operate everywhere every day in order to prevent our enemies from gaining strength. and in order to make it clear to anyone who acts against us all over the middle east, that the price for action against israel will be a heavy one. at the home or former us marine corps intelligence officers got ready to believe such an attack can. oh, you mean is where it is looking for serious escalation. the 1st well is real, but it has been striking targets in syria. but for some time now, for the purpose of interdicting your ronnie and capabilities in syria. and so to have such a senior, a rainy and revolutionary guard commander in syria of together with, you know,

a country of other persons in one place was i think just too tempting of a target for israel. and the fact that they chose to strike a building that is protected under diplomatic convention, shows that israel no longer cares about the rule of law about international law. and this brings us to the deal. i think they're ultimate motive, benjamin danielle, who understands that he is only viable as a leader of israel, so long as he is in war. he's a wartime leader right now. the moment the current conflict stops, he loses his ability to stay and power. he'll be removed from power. we're looking at a situation where his role is under tremendous pressure to try and wrap up the, the, the, the conflict and gaza, away from us. and israel is looking to expand to leach benjamin netanyahu. his government is looking to expand this conflict and therefore is taking the

extraordinarily bold and you're responsible actions in hopes that iran will try, you know, find its way to carry out actions. that could be your be getting a larger complex. so i think this is part and parcel. the broader is really strategy of expanding the scope and scale of the conflict in the region. we idea has released this statement following a recent is really strong, fit killed 7, the aid workers, 6 of those were foreign nationals that were forces chief of general stuff. cool. the incident and i'm quoting here, a grave mistake of this. try cause not carried out with the intention of homie w, c k, a g. well, cuz it was a mistake that followed me say, then defecation, night during the war, in a very complex conditions. it shouldn't have happened. this incident was

a grave mistake, an independent body will investigate the incidentally, we would have completed the next coming days. we will then from the conclusions and the implement them immediately. well, the 7 victims represented, the us non profit organization will central kitchen. the foreign volunteers came from poland, canada, straight in the u. k. and the us, well, the w. c. k. cool. the incident a tragedy. i think that aid workers on civilians should never be targeted. well, joe biden has also called for swift investigation into this incident. underlying that is well is failing to protect civilians as this tragedy is not a standalone case. the us president joined a very long list of officials to now comment on the killings expects the broader

investigation to be conducted and to be done. so in a swift and comprehensive manner, us will continue to process rule to do more as well to ensure the safety of humanity in workers and will continue to do all we can to deliver this assistance to palestinian civilians and gosh, the seaside human tragedy that should never have a that is completely unacceptable and a strive, you will see full improper accountability as you would expect for how this could have a good. we certainly have already contacted this rally government directly. we are contacting the as riley, and best of that uh to ask uh for accountability here. uh, the choice is that, that this is beyond beyond any reasonable circumstance, its someone going about providing aid and humanitarian assistance should

lose their loss. rendition nationals are reported to have been killed. it is essential that to humanitarian workers are protected and able to carry out their work. we have called on the east realtor immediately investigating provide the full, transparent explanation of what happened. well, these all the latest is there 6 published by the world bank and the u. n. which show that hall of the population in garza is on the verge of starvation. that's more than 1000000 people who be left homeless. that on 75 percent of those who become internally displaced, oak simple, i'll ox from policy lead bushel collegiate says age workers should never be targeted and, and immediate c spot is needed. hello, porpoise has been systematically targeted or attacked indiscriminately attacked hospital top bakeries, uh, water and sanitation infrastructure. telecom as was um,

i mean the list goes on. uh and i mean they do, we have 70 percent of civilian infrastructure decimated in gaza. we have almost 60 percent of homes of people's homes. more than half we're talking about people's homes, either destroyed or damaged. my own family actually in the us. um are now displaced in the living in a tent and not far from gosh, the city have been internally displaced 4 times now. but their house was burnt. i mean the situation is just hellish. the vote is long gone. long gone. bouchard people are stopping to death. there is a fine man all ready in effect across the gaza. and here we have more foreign nationals being killed for nationals working for an engineer who simply trying to deliver food and the gaza. we also have this un resolution coating for an immediate

cease fire. israel is not paying attention to that resolution for a ceasefire. israel is clearly not paying attention to the aid workers who are doing to monetary and work and gaza. my question to you bu shot is at what point is, is real. going to start listening to the global community. we have been calling for a cease fire from week one and a permanent one because it's the only way for us to be able to operate is the only way for us to be able to send our teams to the fields. and so the in to the ground and to reach the most effective to me that communities are most vulnerable of people in gaza. we cannot deliver ada effectively under relentless fonts. and the way for that to stop is also to keep the call of those organizations, human rights organizations, international organizations to stop arming israel, and to stop the transfer of arms and weapons to israel. and many countries have,

he does call and we welcome that. but that pressure needs to continue working to condemnation are no longer enough. maybe the real action to end this because not only not just the posting and everybody needs an end to this nancy government process in jury still in turn violent. this is also the cries, attempted to race into the finding this, this residence thus scuffles with the police quickly broke out, which resulted in some of the purchases then being dragged away. a report suggesting that a torch was the bountiful police officer. while another demonstration played on the move to cannon, to prevent it from moving. so it has been building in the country some months against the governmental storage, loved the offensive in the office, and to pay you for the when the safe return of the remaining days of this taken by

hama, here's what's happening to the administration is to say the government needs to go because even before the war was a lot of debates, what does this government as well just because of the reform and even now it's everything that they try to do is come last and the failure on the silver 7 given every single reason for us to object to this government, by the way, after the crisis that we had agreed there failed us every week possible way. i don't really trust them in this moment that they're doing the best for the behalf of our people. let's had to quite know where the president broadway zalinski has signed a new lowering the age of mobilization in the country from 27 to 25, a korean parliament and don't fit the law back at the end of may of last year and is waiting for the president's approval from the 10 months. it means that the age

range commercialization will now stretch over the way from $25.00 to $60.00. well, the move comes a made increasing and get in ukraine. men literally being dragged from the streets as you can see from the sportage and taken to the enrollment offices. and we've also had stories of emerge from across the country. and they seem frequently close on the camera, all the heavy handed tactics that's all being deployed. let's talk more about this now. of course live towards hired a u. s. air force lieutenant colonel. karen, kentucky. thank you very much for joining us on, on the international. i just want to start off by asking, we've got this now low mobilization age, but will as being more troops on the ground because summer saying that this should essentially be used to swap in freshman and t mobilize ukraine's exhausted front

line. fight is as well, i know that's what they intend to do. i mean with these was the new people coming in, but there's also training time that has to be done. i mean, you can't just pull somebody off the street and send them to the front line even though we've heard that's what's happened in some cases. if you don't, they need the people in the military to train them to, you know, tournament soldiers of some sort. and then they can relieve the battle weary guys that haven't had a break for 2 years. so whole thing reeks of desperation . in the sense, in why the 10 months delay on, on doing ski doing this. i mean, it's nothing about this makes sense. don't ask you about actually the 10 most delays almost been a year since the parliament said that this could happen. do you think that this is some kind of last ditch influence? so f advisor lensky. to move this along. do you think that perhaps you just really

didn't want to lower the age, but he feels he's got no other options now. i'm sure he's feeling pressure from his generals. the old and new generals that run his army. he's feeling the pressure of the last, the soldiers that they have, and the inability of the soldiers that they, that remains to really make any progress against the, i guess, the russian army. so he's not under huge pressure from his military pressure for money. in fact, one of the aspects of the mobilization increase in bringing more soldiers in and getting them train is that comes with the dollar figure. that's the think $13000000000.00 of training and mobilization cost and all of this, this money that the government of ukraine spins comes from. the west comes from the united states and nato. so as in increasing his mobilization,

he's also adding another ration now for more western money to flow into the system . and that may or may not have anything to do with it. strengthening ukraine's army might have everything to do with getting the last little drop of money out of the west. when we know, obviously that without funding has been drawing up. you mentioned that obviously it relies on money from the west and this could be a way of saying, look, k, we need more money because we need to train the soldiers. but some of suggested that this could be less about the situation on the front line, which has been pretty di, few quaint for a long time now. and more about the fact that for an allies demanding some sort of change, some sort of push as well. that's certainly true, i mean, lindsey graham senator, in our country has, has adamantly insisted that the ukraine send more of its young man into the,

into the military and onto the front lines. so that's pretty rich coming from a guy like lindsey graham, who hasn't served in the military, and really loves war but doesn't like other people to fight it. so it may be a condition that, that the united states in particular is putting on ukraine in order to, uh, to get to get more money. but um, you know, what, how long ago that zalinski said the total losses of military mentor on the credit side was 31000 i think. and that was so low and unreasonable and unrealistic that it, that most people, even those in ukraine, believed it to be a lie. so this could represent a truly desperate situation in ukraine, and hopefully it represents. it's a sign of, of the coming of an end and a and maybe an onset of negotiations and some sort of piece. well,

i'm sure many people would like to see those big variations of take place. just ask about the military conscription itself in ukraine. it seems to be unjust and efficient. and the buffalo corrupt. we've seen all of those videos of people just being pulled literally off the street and forced to the enrollment center is do you think um, changing the so we know it's not going to change how people perceive it, but do you think it's going to sparks fresh concerned in ukraine that we may see more of those snatching grab situations. oh, i'm sure the, the you, the average ukrainian expects to see more and more of this. i mean, ukraine is, is basically under martial law. they've suspended elections. so this kind of behavior by the government to grab them in and put them on the front lines in a losing battle. this, this is what the ukrainians understand and expect. and i think it sends

a message that zalinski is government is going to continue to do this.
