of matheson and this is al jazeera live from doha with more on our breaking news story tensions between israel syria and iran appear to be escalating with reports israeli warplanes have been firing at targets inside syria syria's state news agency says syrian air defenses have been responding to the israeli military said iranian forces in neighboring syria five twenty of all kits on their positions in the golan heights. area and sirens have be heard in the area and israel says it's intercepted some of the incoming fire so far no deaths have been reported. meanwhile the syrian government says this video shows its army firing missiles in response to israeli attacks on damascus suburbs our correspondent ari falsetto joins us now on the phone from

jerusalem how very very little that we can confirm at the moment but what do we know so far. well we know that the israeli military typically is confirming its activity inside syria targeting. elements of it seems the iranian military inside syria and also it says it is currently the israeli air force as it's currently attacking targets inside syria this all stemming from what happened just after midnight local time when these were the military says there were twenty incoming projectiles which it should be doing to iranian forces inside syria targeting israeli bases. on its side of the golan heights saying that no injuries or damage was sustained in me some of these projectiles it says were intercepted and that israeli forces retaliated now we had reports from the syrian state media saying that its defenses confronted israeli rockets that

were incoming pro asaad media also saying that the military compounds targeted inside israeli territory including intelligence of the eavesdropping centers or regional command headquarters as i say israel is saying that there were no casualties no damage sustained in that but this does represent the most sustained and longest such exchange between israeli and the rain forces inside syria that we've seen certainly at least since what we saw in february when there was a shooting down of an israeli jet which had responded to what israel said was an incursion by in a rainy and driven into israeli territory there was substantial strikes at that point but this is the first time that israel says iran has deliberately targeted some kind of rocket fire israeli territory from inside syria so it's

a major development in what has been an extremely tense three months on israel's own daughters as you've been explaining how we've had statements from israel blaming iran we've also heard statements from syria but we haven't heard yet anything from iran and of course all of this coming in the backdrop of the u.s. pulling out of the nuclear deal with iran. that's right iran of course responded immediately to that statement by donald trump the president under scrutiny making a statement in which he said. iran would continue maintaining its commitments to the iran nuclear deal with j.c. and would continue negotiations also talking about the economy in the preparations have been put in place terms of currency and maintaining imports and so on so it didn't sound like the speech of someone about to try and create a war would with israel israelis really military has been saying that they have been expecting some kind of

a strike coming from iranian forces in response to what has been a lot of presumed and attributed israeli striking inside syrian territory against iranian elements in the last few weeks however the the iranians the israelis rather are saying that this is coming from the revolutionary guard this is a pretty hard line elements of iran's military has been reporting about divisions between honey he was the main sponsor from uranium side of involvement in the j.c. pierre way and hardliners who may have felt the pulling out by the united states shows the. lack of wisdom in that course of action signing up but even the first place so it's not clear yet exactly who and how these this attack if that's what it was was ordered on the iranian side and exactly where this could

escalate from here however as i say the israeli military has been saying it's been expecting an attack from iran in recent days it's been briefing the local media to that it to that extent and saying that it didn't expect a deliberate attempt to escalate the conflict beyond that but obviously this is a major. exchange of fire this is a major development in the tensions that we've been seeing across the border. so far it's too early to say exactly where it will go from you know exactly how but given the level of tensions that have risen over the last few weeks because of the circumstances that you've been talking about how have people in the area been reacting what's the mood of the people there. in northern israel they have been told to the local authorities have been told to open bomb shelters that took place before dawn speech on tuesday night during the course of wednesday there was

a ceiling on the area by military and police various roads near the border in the golan heights were shot down by the golan regional council we are hearing has the might in saying that several towns have been targeted on the israeli side of the occupied golan heights telling residents to stay in their shelters and so obviously there has been a lot of tension a lot of warning of potential. increase in austerities in the area so people have been warned about extent. local authorities have been told to take measures to protect such an eventuality tare for now thanks very much indeed that's high for supply for us from jerusalem neta shamy is the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver is joining us now from denver on skype thank you very much indeed for being with us given the fact that is how i was talking about this is coming on the back of the rhetoric that's been going

backwards and forwards about the iran nuclear deal do you think that it is likely that iran would take sucked such action given the level of tension that currently exists about the nuclear deal. well i think what iran is responding to is the us what donald trump said yesterday and more what harry your correspondent in the region just reported there has been a series of increasing. clashes between israel and iranian assets and iranian military groups in syria over the last several weeks. there was the report that that that your correspondent just mentioned of the downing of the israeli jet and the shooting down of an iranian drone but on april the ninth there was a major israeli air strike on a military base in syria where iranian troops were located killing according to

some reports between eight and twelve you're on the revolutionary guard. troops on april the sixteenth there was another israeli attack on military bases were iranian troops were located just yesterday after don't trump spoke there was report of an israeli attack against iranian assets in syria and then we have this i think iranian rocket fired twenty rockets heading toward. toward israel so i think that's really what's happening here i think there is an attempt by iranian forces in syria to respond to increasing israeli attacks on iranian forces we don't know if this means a larger war if this is really both sides trying to test each other to establish new rules for engagement that remains to be seen i want to ask you specifically about the fact that we're only at the moment hearing from the israelis from the syrian news agencies we've yet to hear anything from iran and it is proving of course difficult to try to establish exactly what's going on because this is

breaking news in the event that what we're hearing is true and iran has been involved in this how likely is it do you think that this could escalate on to what scale. well i think the chance of escalation is huge because i think yesterday's announcement by donald trump is the key transformative event if you listen to what is being said within the inner foreign policy circles that donald trump if you listen to what's being said by benjamin netanyahu and what's being said in riyadh in among the leaders of the house of soda there's an attempt to really play hardball against you were on its role in the region to use the tearing up of the nuclear deal as sort of really the first step to go after iran and to try and press it militarily either to provoke it to or to respond to israel or to the west which would then you know allow for

a much more for me to pull american and or israeli attack on iranian assets or the region so i think this is the real danger of escalation what i hear from you know trying to close foreign policy advisers in fact they're sort of explicit about this their policy is regime change in iran and i think this is the first step in trying to go after iran both militarily in terms of where it's quite vulnerable i think in syria where iran is actually quite embarrassed it doesn't want to sort of talk about the details of what it's doing in syria because those are ugly details that involve war crimes so i think this is really the the the i think you've got evidence of something much more allman is taking place i don't think this is simply a one off and the great fear of a larger middle eastern war that many people have predicted could ensue as a result of the ending of the nuclear agreement seems to be upon us i would ask you about what it would take to tamp down. the tensions that are going on in the region at the moment we've got president benjamin netanyahu of israel who is currently in

moscow he's been talking to me or putin is there a role for russia in this to step in given its positioning in the middle east at the moment and its influence there to try a tooth find some way of balancing this. you know that's an excellent question. there seems to be no. international player that can step in and that has credibility among all of the countries in the region that are now preparing for war with each other the one country that you just alluded to is the only country that has direct diplomatic relations with every single player and that's what in your putin's russia. they have relations with israel the united states with iran with all the other countries in the region so this in many ways actually increases i think a lot of your putin's clout and influence in the middle east because it's the only country that has diplomatic relations with all the key players so in that sense you

know putin does have a role to play but of course given what putin has been doing in syria and the rest of the world that's not a trusted impartial party that i think anyone should bet on to try and stabilize the middle east so that actually i think heightens the concern that many of us have that we're headed toward a much larger and more devastating war in the middle east if that's the case. this does start to expand is this going to put the u.s. in a position where it may be forced to take some sort of military action itself to try to offset if you like the influence of russia. well i don't think united states is going to go after russia at least under president obama and now under donald trump there seems to be a very consistent at least u.s. policy toward syria that russia can do it wants in syria the the other player in syria of course as you were on and that's the question of donald trump and his foreign policy advisers particularly john bolton pompei o and rudolph giuliani so i

think leave the planet here is to try and go after iran while not touching russia to try and you know reduce iraq's influence for the throughout the region perhaps go to iran into overreacting which then will allow for a much more robust american military response against the islamic republic of iran i think this is very much in the cards. it's not a coincidence that benjamin netanyahu is actually you know was in moscow today where i think he got approval from a lot of your putin that russia would not get inside get itself involved in any sort of shooting war between the revolutionary guard corps in syria and israel i think that's very much why this trip took place at this particular time so these are think very honest and very dangerous developments that. do not give one confidence about the prospects for peace and stability in the middle east

in the short term or even in the long term good to get your views on this that her same is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver thanks very much indeed let me just tell you that the news was a reporting that syria state media is citing military sources that an israeli rocket fire has destroyed a syrian rebel side we don't have any more details on that as soon as we do get some more details of course we'll bring them straight to you in the meantime white house press secretary does spoken out on the sirens being had in the golan heights . you know this just third there shows that the iranian regime cannot be trusted israel absolutely has a sovereign right to defend itself and we support them in whatever efforts they have in order to defend themself but again i think this activity in this action is just further demonstration that the iranian regime cannot be trusted in another good reminder that the president made the right decision to get out of the iran deal ok that's white house press secretary saying listen this is talking a moment ago let's go live to hide his or her as she's in washington d.c.

for us i'm heidi lots of fingers are going to be pointed rightly or wrongly the fact that the u.s. has pulled out of this nuclear deal as being some sort of catalyst for what may be happening i was not going to play out do you think in washington. well there certainly have been concerns prior to the sirens going off in golan heights that something like this may happen u.s. military reportedly sources saying that even prior to reports of the air strikes that the state department had warned u.s. citizens from not traveling to go on heights warning in fear is that you ran may may take aggressive action against israel and we did just get a statement from the state department official saying that the u.s. stands with israel in the fight against iran's malign activities and we strongly support israel's salva right to defend itself a statement that mirrors what we just heard from the white house press secretary

sara sanders now yesterday trumps announcement to withdraw from you ran deal had been had been warned by president. ronnie who had said that such a action would be a historic mistake on the part now those words being parsed out to see whether that shows a correlation between the u.s. is draw from the nuclear deal and what we're seeing now with the attacks in golan heights however many are saying it's still too early to point a direct link ronnie also said after the announcement that we were that the u.s. was with was withdrawn from the deal that iran would remain committed to its obligations and what would stay in the deal with the european allies but certainly there has been concern among u.s. top officials that what ronnie says may not be what the military of iran feels

which is controlled by hardliners and that what we're seeing today with the attack on israel may indeed be precipitated by the u.s. withdrawal from the rand nuclear deal rob part of a no thanks very much indeed remarks abrams is an assistant professor of political science at northeastern university he says the strikes of the golan heights indicate a clear escalation. it's been widely reported that iran if attacking israeli targets in the golo striking military targets and this is a form of escalation because typically the sort of the battle between israel and iran in syria has been in one direction israel has been going into iran more times than we even know because most of the incursions r.p.m. justin and his israel doesn't hippa typically take credit for that but some people estimate that israel has made

a hundred incursions certainly doesn't scores of them including just yesterday i believe in so for a while frankly i've been waiting for any iranian response and i've been away impressed by iranian restraint in syria in terms of retaliating against israel and now if reports are true that restraint is the starting to add. well the u.s. could really impose sanctions on iran as early as next week it follows president donald trump's withdrawal from the landmark international deal with the islamic republic to limit its nuclear capabilities this move has been widely criticized from london to teheran from where has this report i was the day after the united states tore up the nuclear deal iran set it on fire members of parliament into one burned a printout of the international pact and the american flag

a show of anger and disappointment over what they say is a mistake by washington i doubt all right all you more him miss nettled if europe an important countries like russia and china fill this international vacuum perhaps that will be a way to continue otherwise the islamic republic of iran will bring the us to its senses with its nuclear actions they have to know that under such circumstances iran has no commitment to remain in the nuclear position it was in before iranians woke up to headlines that highlight the country's internal divisions moderates who are currently in government want the deal to go on without troubling hardliners stress the united states cannot be trusted and the agreement should be completely scrapped but both sides are bracing for an economic impact. the withdrawal means more pressure will be exerted on the people and the country will go back to the days of resorting to smuggling to bring in goods and bypass sanctions i on wednesday iran's supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei drew

a line in the sand show kneedeep. days sure to go hard for you all heard last night the cheap and impudent remarks of the u.s. president there were maybe more than ten lies mostly see it and both the establishment and the iranian nation that he will do this and that and i will tell him on behalf of the iranian people mr trump you don't like hell you will. while there is a sliver of hope for the deal to survive how many said he knows iran is asking the remaining signatories for the impossible to stand by iran and ignore the global financial threat posed by the united states has. now said that the agreement will stay in place with participation of the three european countries i do not trust these three countries when i made them up now that i am. i while the full impact of renewed sanctions had yet to materialize on iranian

streets traditional chants of death to america are getting louder once again perhaps the clearest sign of iran's anger was a message from the supreme leader to the american president in it he said that many u.s. presidents have died in their bones had decomposed and they're trying to will return to dust and become food for worms but the islamic republic company said will remain standing the same bus robbie old is here at the wrong on tensions between iran syria and israel were being under discussion in moscow between the russian and israeli leaders they were attending the annual victory day celebrations when russia remembers the sacrifices in the defeat of nazi forces in world war two or a challenge reports from moscow. all his meetings with readymade putin are important said benyamin netanyahu before flying to moscow on wednesday but this one is particularly so for israel's prime minister arriving for russia's victory day military parade was an astute courtesy call for the holiday celebrates the soviet
