plans and developing that in the coming year those who decide on cutting them out of course but the political leaders but these plans have to be on the table and practice. tension between israel and iran has only been getting worse last january israel defended the us after it killed qassam slim ani the head of iran's elite could force the israeli military was then put on high alert after iran threatened revenge then in november iran's top nuclear scientists most in fact resigned he was killed in tehran iran blamed israel for the attack but it never issued a comment and just last week israel launched an air attack against iranian targets in syria israel is intensifying its air campaign there before film of president donald trump left office al-jazeera as harry foster has more from western. i don't think it should be read this early as an immediate threat of an imminent attack on iran but it is very much

a setting out of israel's position that it should be maintained in terms of a hard line against iran against iran's potential for getting a nuclear weapon not just from here but also from the united states and this is a real sign of the chief foreign policy concern really of israel at the moment very very sharp difference between a trump administration which aligned itself so closely to israel's policy objectives and interests and it suspicion of the incoming by did ministration there is a big debate here in israel as to how best to try to influence the united states and caving as closely as possible to israeli interests in the iran nuclear deal whether that should be a public confrontation or more behind the scenes lobbying effort well behind the scenes if it is going to be reportedly happening in the next few weeks with the dispatching of the head of the mossad yossi cohen to d.c. to washington d.c.

to have talks that and we have this public effort as well being carried out by the end of israel's military saying that there are these new plans operational plans being come up with at the moment if necessary to attack iran and also saying that any resuscitation of the deal even an improvement on the existing deal would be a strategic mistake as far as israel is concerned iran spending that representative to the united nations has responded by calling on the security council to fulfill its responsibilities thus your body has more from tehran. we're going to be hearing from the president hassan rouhani during his scheduled recruit cabinet meeting 'd later on wednesday morning and he's likely to respond with the same kind of rhetoric that hearing from iranian officials and that is that any kind of attack or hostility towards iran we responded with similar measures.

missiles here and military officials have said over the house he leaks that iran is ready willing and able to defend itself against all enemies at georgia's nuclear deal and we heard from the ring foreign minister mohammad javad zarif who was in moscow on tuesday he tweeted saying that there is no reason for iran to show good will to return to the nuclear deal of other people to return to full compliance he said why should iran do anything further is the united states who looks drew from the deal they are the ones that have to take the next step and that iran will respond in terms of israel's part in all of this of course iran sees them as using this opportunity to pressure the new administration to getting what they want but they've said there is absolutely no room for renegotiating or mending this nuclear deal it stands as is and iran the wait and see what the united states will do in the coming weeks and what is the view from washington let's find out with alan

fischer who is live at the white house allan the biden administration has indicated that he could sign up to the nuclear agreement again any reaction from the white house so this warning by israel some military commanders. well it's clear that the by the administration has no intentions of being dragged into fright with one of its closest allies in the early days of the administration a senior administration official telling al-jazeera that they have said for a long time that they will consult with allies and partners in the region when it comes to deciding how to go forward with iran we know that joe biden throughout the election campaign said he would like to renegotiate the iran nuclear deal he believed that a better deal could be reached and certainly could cover contentious issues such as ballistic missile testing but of course he doesn't have a great deal of support from the other partners who negotiated the deal we've also had from senior figures in the national security team over the last week or so the new director of national intelligence admiral hines she said during her confirmation hearing that there is nothing imminent when it comes to the iran

nuclear deal and possible renegotiation and tony blinken who will become the new secretary of state on wednesday here in the united states saying in the last few hours again that there is nothing imminent he has said himself that he would like to see run be compliance before the u.s. starts to make any moves of course the iranians have already said that it's really up to the united states because they were the ones that pulled out of the deal now the biden in ministration doesn't really have foreign policy close to the top of its agenda we've had from joe biden over the last few days his focus is really on the corporate crisis 1st of all making sure that it can get vaccinations out into the country making sure that people start to recover from what is they're taking precautions to stop people getting watched and of course the big economic package he would like to push through congress $1.00 trillion dollars so at the moment he doesn't want to row with israel but he says they will consider going back into the

nuclear deal when it's right for the united states and if it's right for the united states thank you for that alan fischer live in washington. with. the coronavirus pandemic now and hospitals are at a breaking point the global economy is struggling and pressure continues to build to both vaccine production and distribution globally infections have now topped $100000000.00 and there seems to be no signs a spread is slowing the u.k. has now become the 5th country to record more than 100000 fatalities after 1600 new deaths were reported on tuesday the prime minister's faced criticism to watch for his government's response to the handling of the virus. on this day i should just really repeat that i am deeply sorry for every life that has been lost and of course as good as as prime minister i take full responsibility for everything that the government has done what i can tell you is that we truly did everything we
