members of a military unit known as the rapid support forces. said. they fired bullets at us and on protesters as we tried to protect other protesters who were bleeding so i removed my shirt to use it to help someone the rapid support forces took the chance and attacked when. the shooting began on monday evening the protesters the members of the rapid support forces tried to remove roadblocks they set up on some of the main roads when they refused to allow that the gunshots. the military denies that day or the rapid support forces were behind the shooting tensions have been on the rise in funding when the military was accused of trying to disperse they said and they've been camping outside army headquarters demanding the military council which overthrew the country's 30 year president i'm going to be here to hand over power to a civilian government right now if i can. get it right more than 30

infiltrating these groups they are or md and they targeted some of our military personnel we are aware of these people their elements and plans of provocation we know the means that they use they have targeted the military with armed with these old laws were using very committed areas to target some of our soldiers but those at the city and seem to have no faith in the council and are not convinced right now the market isn't enough the people who died did there have to be more deaths today and all the forces are saying it isn't them then who was it who blood for blood no compensation. protesters still no force to make them break their city which is in its 2nd month they say too many lives have been lost in the quest for an independent civilian government for them to give them tensions are at their highest since the protests began and the risks of further escalation and further violence remains so

protesters are asking if the military council knew that there were infiltrators like they say why were they not stopped there saying that they have set up barricades on all roads leading to the state's end and they search all protesters coming in and out of the set and so they are sure and very confident that the bullets that were fired were not coming from the protests themselves so at the moment they're asking the opposition coalition to call off talks with the military council in trying to set in terms of setting up a transitional government and tell the opposition coalition ask the military council to provide answers as to who fired the shots and resulted in the loss of life peter thank you. iran is accusing the u.s. of escalating tensions in the gulf region iran's foreign minister zarif is in new delhi on an official visit to see his indian counterpart he says tehran predicted what he called a quote sabotage operation to escalate tensions across the region now on monday for cargo ships south of the strait of hormuz were hit by explosions and i'm an american military team is helping with the investigation let's get more from who

joins us live from tehran so saying what do we make of those latest comments from the foreign minister of a port incident. well the foreign minister's comments come after a round of several other people that have been speaking let me just give you a little bit of background before we get to that now the united states has been saying since pulled out of the nuclear deal that iran might target its target maritime vessel traffic in the waters around the country and the report that you mentioned is an it's a report from an unnamed source that is part of an american military team investigating the incidents in for gera and in their initial assessment they said that iran might be involved now in response to that seemingly refuting that one m.p. a senior m.p. speaking from iran's foreign policy and national security commission told all jazeera is that there is not enough information that it is too vague and too

unclear exactly what happened and he seemed to suggest that people were trying to pull the united states into a conflict in the region in a closed session of parliament today another senior m.p. presiding over parliament seemed to suggest that israel might be involved but he provided no explanation and did not elaborate on why he would be making that claim and now we've heard from the foreign minister of odds or if i'm self seeming to blame the united states for the attack here's some of what he had to say how. we discussed regional issues and the policies of extremists inside the u.s. administration and in the region who are trying to impose their policies we also discussed the concerns we have about suspicious about tiger operations that are happening in the region that we had earlier predicted that they would carry out such measures. in the region. now the foreign minister is calling for countries in the region neighboring countries in this region to band together to partner up on security and then his calls for trying to

do so kind of ratcheting down the tension come at a time of very escalated tensions with the united states those are ongoing the countries in the region have been treated. trading partners they've been sometimes friends sometimes enemies but these are longstanding connections between iran and the countries around it and the foreign minister was saying it's time to come together on future security no doubt the country's leaders all the countries leaders in this region are looking for the best way forward on how to operate their national security concerns how to go about resolving a lot of the differences in the arena that they find themselves in but the fact is that there are now there seems to be no clear way forward especially with more u.s. military presence in the region at this time zain thank you. well earlier on monday a member of iran's national security commission said that whoever was behind the explosions is trying to instigate a war by. what happened at the port of fujairah is still

vague and unclear but it seems that there are some in the region who want to drag trump into a war and we are dealing with some issues with very high historical responsibility and i think the talk about explosions in fujairah is just a he from the area and suffers many shortcomings whoever stands behind this is pushing for a failed plan. now north korea is demanding the return of a cargo ship seized by the united states. the seizure goes against the spirit of the recent summits between the u.s. and north korea the vessel was detained in indonesia last year and towed to american samoa on saturday washington since the ship was carrying coal in violation of u.n. sanctions against north korea bright as the latest from the south korean capital so . the cargo ship the wise honesty is one of north korea's largest and it's now being towed to the u.s. territory of american samoa in the south pacific it was originally seized in indonesia for allegedly breaking sanctions against north korea by exporting coal
