place like home all except when home is for the part of the lebanese filmmaker documents as likes to one of the country's most turbulent times. the pills. i'm the anxious and fatal a witness documentary on that jersey at a and what's the follow? it's from the killing of somebody in high media into ron, from us as a political leader was assassinated as tension in the middle east is running high. how much of a blow is this to how to us and to iran, and put honey as death escalates into a full regional conflicts. this is inside story, the

hello and welcome to the program. i'm getting you navigate down. it's seen as a devastating blow against thomas's leadership, the assassination of its political leader as 9 honey. and to ron, raises the prospect of an all out war in the middle east. honey. it was an iranian capital to attend. the non duration of presidents must fluid products can come us planes, israel for the attack. israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement. and it came hours after and is really strike on the lebanese capital. a b roots that israel says kill senior, has been the commander for ad. sure could. how would come us as has been no response? and what does the oldest mean for the war on garza and the risk for broader regional conflicts? we'll explore all these issues with our guests in a moment's, but 1st this report by victoria gate and be the assess the nation as a mass is politically to is moe and the new run is likely to mock

a dangerous development and the war. wrong garza, many fear the kid include sparkle in the middle east. how must has blamed israel for the attack? in a statement on its website, the lebanese on group said, bravo, leda, amada, is not near the head of the movement has been killed in a treacherous scientist. rage on his residence into ran after participating in the new gratian ceremony of the new arabian president. time to run supreme leader said, because the attack took place on a rainy and soil is the country's duty to avenge the death of him. the hold on this destination has been condemned by countries including lebanon to kit china and russia, which cooled as an absolutely unacceptable political motive, which will lead to a further escalation of tensions. us defense secretary lloyd austin said he believed for the war and the middle east was not inevitable, but referred to us support for israel. if israel is attacked, we certainly will help defend israel. if you saw us do that paper,

you can expect to see us do that again. but we, we don't want to see any of that happen. we're going to work hard to make sure that, that, you know, we're doing things to help take the temperature down. so many palestinians near was a symbol of resistance in the face of his radio occupation and adversity. he served briefly as prime minister of the palestinian authority and gauze that palestinian said his death would help strengthen their resistance. said the martyrdom of them, which i heed. hon. yeah, is a great loss for the arab and muslim nation in general, and the palestinian people in particular with all of the smell honey, i was an excellent patriotic man. he performed his duty, delivered the message of the resistance and was up to his responsibilities. how about us to shut the it's very painful to hear the news of his mouth. he is mounted to the left is great, and his mounted and broke our hearts. it was a big shot to palestine, and use this destination came out is that the end is really strongly come. the

southern suburbs of the lebanese capital bay we israel says senior has the commend us who had shook ro, we've kills those attacks risk escalating, an already fragile situation in the region. the focus now turns to whether it ran on has the law, will retaliate against his ro and whether that could lead to a wide conflict. victoria gates and b i, which is a roof, the inside story. the. all right, let's go deeper into the significance of these assassinations for people in the region and beyond. joining us from assemble today, although usually based on to ron, we haven't mirandi who's a professor at the university of to ron. and joining us from new york in england to so tom bought a car, a professor of public policy at the time i'd been for the for university in doha, i'm from bay. ruth, mariah is the director of the malcolm h current current or gate middle east center. welcome to inside story. thanks for your time dr. miranda you and assemble. the iranian supreme leader has set on acts,

but since the operation took place on uranian store, we see it as our duty to avenge his blood his blood, meaning as night, honey is blood. what are your owns options going forward? your mom will definitely will be strikes on the 3 of us if you recall the show you recall when the is there any routine bomb, the iranian concert, a building in syria, iran took it. it's contained to the web security council and to the shots of the international community being, i'd say it's certainly the science and the u. k. they oppose the kinds condemnation of those rather shape than other words. they supported it's bombing up a diplomatic building. so it was parents of the writing is that the only way to, to make sure that the she does not continue signing out such i agree,

it does have taxes to try to add it this time around. but i think it's going to be more severe because of the is my opinions, very heroes, to speeders and, and insightful people, people and that includes the full establishment is a household bank is the binding city 0 and the resistance is leading. besides these helping leading lead, the fight against the regime is turning out 10 aside. the soldiers are raping prisoners and to bay and 9 processing the death, so of children. so i think the most because of patient sovereignty and also as he was seen as a barter and a bit 0, they run the as will strike. there's my machine very on. but mr. we're on the, is there a risk then this drags a ron into a wider regional conflicts, something that iran has always said in the past that it does not want. i mean, nothing. yahoo, some people will say, well, that's what has the, that's his agenda all along. and if iran does retaliate,

then that's when y'all who will succeed or no one wants escalation except for one of these may be cheap. that's the, that's true for hezbollah. that's too far from us as palm beach on. i'm sorry, a lot of these as they say it's true for the resistance. it's a new rockets here and is to for your on. but if the regime is counting out genocide as well, not pass to draw away forces from gaza to prevent them from estimating the population because the west will enable them to do so. you've seen it for 10 months now. i'm sorry enough cost to block the red sea. they've set themselves up. they are implementing the genocide convention. the americans are trying to help is ready to use carry out, set aside and the finding again, samsung. but what are the options? what does, what is option for you ron? bye to defend the people of gaza. so did city ron does not strike this vending machine? it's going to only get worse. so methane, yahoo will become,

will become more aggressive. but i think the, the, the reality is that this ring is on this one, the region has already lost what they've lost on the board or what's happening on the boss and gaza. oh, they're tearing out genocide. but even that is hurting this way. the regime more than anyone else in the world that's the regime is despise across the global south, even in the west, despite the western media and despite governments of despite the but diplomats are trying to do right, people are turning against the reaching and so the, the longer the world war less and the more the escalade it's, it's worse for us. well it may be beneficial for an yahoo, but it doesn't beneficial, but no one wants the escalation. but at the same time the regime passed a stop. i don't even know the janice of my yes. yeah. and babe ruth um what, what do you make of what happened on the timing of this assassination and also where it took place into ron a good afternoon. i think the timing,

most of the timing and the location are a significant escalation and the complex that's already aflame. the fact that my n e l was skilled and thought on and now we're understanding it was have the presidential palace. um the story we're hearing is that he was killed with a miss time that directly talking to him. so they knew exactly which room he was in . so that tells you the number of things. one is the stuff in the p, a breach in the security, a significant breach in the security. the messaging to uh, to have run into a allies. the different outlines around the role is we can get you anywhere. but it's also a says, you know, there's no ceasefire at the end of the day sign any of was the key person who was negotiating uh, the zip code and all of those the cx, 5 with israel, and ga,

so and by taking him out. so they effectively said no to the deed in a way. so now what do you think this actually hans, for the cease fire? the question is, will then now will this now be use to us, particularly when you combine the assassination of any a and, and put it on with the clinical fudge. you could and 11 on and they root with this now be used as an all from to try and de escalate things and pushed even further for as he's fire. i'm going, i say, bush, i mean pressure is rare and to cease fire today because that is the key to de escalate think across the region, or is this going to be used to inflame sink further down? yeah. what is basically dragging the us into a regional confrontation with the wrong? i think if things continue the way they are, he's definitely to drag into us until conflicted with the run and see us today. we

have a demonstration that is more or less a name book administration at this point. do you have a president who has had to withdraw from the presidential race a a, a presidential can know me who's not yet the candidates, but would probably be around the date to was funding for election. and the last thing they need is award on their hands. okay, hang on a 2nd. my husband, let me just ship these comments to us. speaking of the us uh, the secretary state anthony blinking said that the by the administration was not warrant of the attack against the, from us political leader aside, honey ahead of time. nor did it have any part in it. so they were blinking. it was quite quick to make the statement. why do you think he did so? and do you think that the americans would have given the is really the green light to conduct this assassination? and i doubted honestly, i think this assassination is similar to what happens and when, when the is ready to get to the login embassy in damascus,

it was done without the us green lights. and it's absolutely if you rated the administration, i suspect it's the same scenario. here they were notified of that of the attempt, and they will all see that they were going to target for chicken and beta would most likely they gave the go ahead for about particularly because far chicka is wanted by the sort of ministration in connection with the marine barks bombing of 1983. so, but um, you know, i doubt that they would have given a green light for a target for the targeting of somebody and i me up and thought on in particular. okay, the on the, if you share that assessment, dr. miranda, because the timing of this seems interesting. it's comes certainly after and that's when. yeah. who returned from the u. s. i mean, what, what is real had been assured in the us through any of the meetings that nothing yahoo held that there would be no repercussions for any action that is real takes

going forward. well 1st i must point out that the attack did not take place in the presidential outlets. it was a guest house. uh but uh, i don't think that the united states wants an escalation. i think that that's quite clear. i think that's true both for from and for by the end and for hours. but so i think that it's in yahoo probably does a lunch and escalation a and the sense in yahoo is going to get us support support. uh no matter what it does. uh, the united states may not have been alarmed about that. back on the consulate on the tax on it guest house with this find tiny it it, it, but they definitely provided the allergy. so there's raves, i get their intelligence from western governments. they get them from westbury, obviously, using the wrong to get them from embassies in country western embassies in

countries around the world. and of course, there to say the agencies that belong to the united states and it's the outlines they all use. their intelligence as use by 5 is where it is even in as a carry out the genocide and cons of their using that information. but it can, you know, on the americans, definitely don't want them inspiration because because an escalation would mean the destruction of the global economy, american bases, and the 1st of all region and iraq, they would all be destroyed. and those countries that post those bases there in infrastructure would be destroyed. but that would mean that the global, the gas and oil would no longer be exported from the region. that would, that would create a collapse everywhere. no one wants to budge nothing. yahoo is the only person along with maybe 2 people in, in israel who do need an escalation because they need to push this for a, for because of their own, their own interest, but is right. it's not in the interest of israel. israel has been the main issue,

it's economy has been devastated, knowing in the future is pointing back to me as well. and the people as they see this genocide continue that they are a trip. phrase road becomes more entrenched, not just an all region, but if possible. so the, this war continues, whether it expands or not, it's going to be worse for as well. if it expands is what? again, lose. but nothing yahoo wins for them. so the interest, so these really redeem on not necessarily the interest of the current people sitting around the cabinet table in kind of a bar in the quotes. so, so thought, i mean, what strategic purpose do you think this assassination serves israel? you term it may look to some, as if, as around go to its way and has a account yet another how much data. but history tells us that this, this doesn't actually, and how the us and if you go to it 2 years ago,

they killed the, how much you have seen. 20 is they. they had 7 the off of the door. so it's not going to resolve there. there are a problem, a tool in terms of the negotiations. it's uh, it has really announced an end to any possibilities of negotiated supplement over this issue. particularly, i think it sort of looked at a huge risk. the return of the captain's who out have buy from us effectively you nothing, you know who has killed his counterpart, into negotiations and somebody in the, as the head of the political office, he would have acted in any corporate in the capacity to let them, you know, in taking decisions, and he is known as someone who's very pragmatic and on the moderate side of the equation, all the time within how much politics. so taking him to having also killed his deputy side of headed out already back in january,

doesn't to the help as well. have a nice political counterpart to negotiate with. what does this mean? that's cool. somebody comes for the military leaders. what does this mean that for the military leaders on the grounds and guys like yes, yes, and water, for example, are, and the kind of decisions that he and others might be taking. now that's a smart honey, i was assassinated. i think by default now they need to simply go back to, to guys of the, to the us and to the guys done. so why would it be the person to kinda decide without any come to wait today's post on any of the issues. and until the new editor is elected by the, how much is it? you know, this is unlikely to happen very quickly, given the circumstances. they're very difficult communication channels between the mass factions and individuals and so on. a given the war on the ground. so s and y will probably be leading the scene from now on words. and such as priorities are

going to be dictated by the fact that he faces in gaz day and out. uh huh. yeah, of course we mentioned this earlier on, but there was another attack that took place hours before the assassination of snide honey. and that was in the da here in beta woods. the target of that attack was, of course, has been the member. uh for sure. good. um, do you expect a forceful, forceful hezbollah or response to that attack? i mean, what choices do, does the, those has been the face right now. it has while nice quotes between a rock and a hard place to so it's an expense on the one hand, they declare that they will not stop bombing until, you know, the 512 continue and the pressure on israel is moving from 7 o 7 front will continue until there's a cease fire and gaza, which means there are no head postage to the axis, fire to a certain extent of some. so there is no code treated between a rock and

a hard place because they say they do not want to war. and they've signal then i believe the wrong does not want to or either they signal this repeatedly since october 8 when the conflict started. so that uh, at the same time, they have to respond in some way for the origin of their. um, so i think they are looking at options in which they could to which they can respond, but respond in a more measured way. one that would not lead to an all out escalation and 11 on at the same time. and i think this would have been a bit easier before the killing of my honey, the now with the columbus 900. yeah. and the 100 on that kind of strategic calculus has become a lot more difficult. they'd be coordinating very closely what the head on to see what kind of appropriate response to the spots of the one that would set send the

signal, but was not, would not trigger a kind different little conflict between lever long and israel. and since you speak to us from a root, just give us a sense of what it's like and by roots now after the assassination of chicken. and of course it's 9 honey. what are people thinking to? everyone's very anxious. they are very worried. there's a lot of cynicism around uh israel's response. the idea that they are using the tragic uh, bombing, go flight specialist, uh, and occupied. golan. okay, find the terry trees predominantly or higher percentage where its inhabitants of reviews is really citizenship so that they're using the project killing of 12 children and her sick way in order to score the goal is if

you like and achieve things that they've been wanting to do for quite some time. so there's, there's a lot of physics in the system around. that's the visual. so a lot of anxiety, don't forget, nothing on has already had dealt with as really invasions. 19781982199319962006. right. so this is not the 1st round between other 2 countries. there's a lot of fear, a lot of people that come to spend the summer with their families are leaving. now . embassies are calling on their citizens to leave for their foreign nationals. so there's a lot of anxiety and a lot this year i will holding our breath and waiting to see what's next. a dr. moran. the v cuts out of has the group of iraq has the said the to the is really killing of thomas leader of honey and to ron quote broke all rules of engagement that was on a statements on an official telegram channel. so do you think that going forward, i mean, the groups that uranium allies in the region in iraq and yemen 11 on will they be

coordinating a response altogether to both killings of both men. but one thing that we should remember is that immediately after the bombing of a root of a residential building, the americans bomb the, the popular mobilization force. it has a garage showing up a number of people including a seizure, amanda, and then it's my and i knew it was march hired anyone. so all of these are things together and american actions and these ran the actions are coordinated. maybe them again, the americans did not know that is my insight, the monitor, which is fine if i knew what was going to be killed, but in general, they give intelligence that they do work together against this access of resistance . but i think that, yes, there will be an escalation on the top of the collective access, whether it's yvonne or rock or yeah, man,

or maybe not because there's really appreciate my internet's and gamble is escalating and there is no other way to deal with that same you know, and the machine is back down, they're going to escalate and they're going to take advantage. they'll see that as assigned if we and so the regime has to be pushed back. what is important is the united states has to come to the recognition that an escalation would not be transplanted for it. not only is the united states and europe being seen as can possibly become physically this genocide. not only are they very much, every single diplomat, every single mainstream western journalists, every all politicians and what's not only going to be all competitive in this board as a genocide, but they are losing their credibility across the blog never. and for the next few decades, will they be able to criticize bradshaw or china, or anyone else, or human rights, or for anything? right as to what they've just visit the 1st televised genocide in human history. so

the costs for the united states and europe is jeannette, especially at a time when they are in gotten in the ukraine, built on the bat for it. things are getting worse. and of course the tensions with timed out far on device to. okay, let me bring in some time, but if i do x to expect a coordinated response on behalf of the, of the axis of resistance groups as they're known and the region is going forward. or i think the idea of determines that israel will be stopped from attacking your on your warehouse because of feeder for tiny ation, has really disappeared back in april. the way around the retaliated to the assassination of its if its own, the commander in the boss. cuz has really given is the green light just by to what other the main temperature like to say this was calculated just to give a signal his tone. it has strength and is there any time?

it's also the visit button within the out to united states and he's contacting the congress has practically molded him to go further. he has, he sees himself very much as the king may come in, the united states election is now between now and november. and both parties was another object to haven't taken any decision that interprets as a decision for the security for his own. and you get to see this by the fact that he has taken the, the, he has it, he has approved and operation into wrong. i mean, if you are feeling you're on the last place, you want to send somebody, anyone, nevermind any. yeah. and right, the phone, i mean, right. you saw him, but he has, regardless of all of these threats, he went ahead with this. he knows that the united states would come to his rescue. he knows that everyone does not want this condition in the area. and okay, everybody wouldn't be ready for us as a power to try and calm down from just because it should be kind of working twice

as hard. the final word to my yes. yeah. and barry diplomatically, what do you think is going on right now behind the scenes and world capitals? because presumably leaders one to refuse the situation. so i think there's lots of a fact channels that are working both at the time now to try and contain the situation to convince probably do wrong to come to either not respond or to mute its response. similar to what happens in april and also to try and work with his fellow in terms of what can be done to decrease the tension on the prospect to open all out conflict with level one, the 11 on can in the 4th. quite honestly. so that i think actually the region kind of look forward, not just 7 on um, so i think that there is a lot of pressure right now on the front to try and to black. bring things

down, bring the heat down, and the to the right. we'll leave it there. thank you so much for joining us. i'm on the run. this will talk about accounts and my, you know, we thank you for your time. thank you for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website out to 0 dot com. and for further discussion goes, we're facebook page dots, facebook dot com, forward slash a j inside story. join the conversation on x or handle is a j inside story for myself. and the whole team here in del how, thanks for watching and so by for now, the unique perspective. i love that, i really not that because definitely i left nothing is something you that we on heard voices, but we are committed to guessing best i can know all about you so much connect with

same thing about maybe food in 1990. israel has committed a numerous war crimes since the hospital fans on october the 7th. i'm fairly sure that'd be the rough time to work. so it's not a well time head to head on, out to 0 concerns and political uncertainty, or just some of the issues facing the organizers of the 2024 olympic games at paris . as millions turned their attention to friends with the hosting, they shouldn't be ready to welcome to world on july, the 26 stay without a 0. for the latest updates, we are a few kilometers from the border with as well. and one of the oldest markets in the middle east, this corner in southern lebanon hasn't been directly targeted for the sound of his rarely war planes, as well as rocket launches by has, the law, has become part of daily life. the instability is affecting livelihoods. my home has been destroyed, i left my village, we lost every 2 weeks ago. we were here shopping. and the exchange of bias started
