messages on, on lines that there's nothing the so far there's nothing confirmed that there's some of the explosions may have been surface to air defenses. they may have been and they are in a place that was struck. i don't know at this stage, but we'll have to wait and see what we did see with this riley resumes folks of said, we'll have to wait though, for some sort of news from capital and later on. but no, this did not begin. uh, on october the 7th, just as uh, the, or if it finds it goes to people got a, did not begin on october the 8th at the beginning, decades ago. and americans. and there's rarely use in western or what sort of leads like to begin history from a certain point which benefits them. but the reality is that uh they call them isaiah should have power assigned began 70 more than 76 years ago. but uh, the roms problems with the united states. and this really regime began a long time ago. and but the 1st time this riley regime and the americans together

struck you, ron was with a cyber attack. and this was the 1st cyber attack in history since the beginning of the internet. and then this way, the regime width us supports carried out the series of assassinations on the nuclear scientists, including a colleague of mine at the university of town dr. mon, with he was murdered in front of his life and benefits in uh they turn it out a number of uh, uh, drones attacks, but also they murder the running officers who are fighting against outside uh, and isis and syria. when there's one of these, we're helping with the dirty ones. but then in this print, say, this current phase began with the bombing of the running embassy in damascus. and after that, the united states, the europeans, they supported this right of these in the un security council. so they supported the bombing of the running consulate. and so you,

ron felt it had to respond and it did. then again, there's really regime carried out another crime by the mob, through the martyrdom of the s. my and honey in tech, ron, in a copay, come companion of his and then and he was in to ron uh for the operation of the, the presidential integration. he was a special guess of the iranian president. so the writers had to respond again, why? because the iranians had felt they had to create the turns that they did in the news really, really would strike again. so we are where we are, what, whatever that is really what she did tonight. and i don't know what they've done. i haven't seen anything. it doesn't look impressive, whatever it was. but whatever they done was not a retaliation. they initiated this. and ultimately,

the iranians will make sure that the is ready to redeem is punished. this race i failed and gaza bade carried out a genocide with wisdom support. there is no pride in that that, that, that has destroyed the image of the west across the world. israel has been seen as an illegitimate colony that just come at slaughter. the west has been destroyed. the west has nothing to offer to the world anymore. after what is done in doing what it's doing to the people the guys are. and then we saw what they did and never know, but there's really a machine on the battlefield. they've gained nothing in gaza even though it's been over a year. they haven't been able to take this doc on the map and the machine that took this was come out. this is, this is rarely regime that in 1982 took a root very sweetly, no 11 on just 11. i'm sorry to be that, but i was thinking of them because in this latest statement from daniel, how gar, the is riley of forces spokesman. he says,

the idea of is fully prepared and attack and defense. and he says, we are following the developments from iran, but also mentions it says it's proxies in the region, of course, as well as referring specifically to hamas and hezbollah, which it has accused the wrong of funding of both groups in garza and lebanon for several years. and it has accused of the wrong of doing so not just a financially, but also militarily. i'm want to make heads up. the accusations that are on is very proud of supporting from us and the wrong is very proud of supporting a slot. make job. anyone is proud of supporting all the palace and in groups and the palace site. it's, there man is fair country yonder occupation. you ron supported the resistance, the amc in south africa against the apartheid regime when the west was supporting the apartheid regime. and that is why when nelson mendoza was freed,

he travelled to you run among the 1st countries any travel through was the run, the same as certain. palestine is raving. regime is an illegitimate colony. it is an at the premises regime. the west supports racism. it supports the racial domination, that is what it supports. the west supports racial hierarchy in our part of the world based support, a chosen people that and all others must be supported. the policy needs are, i'm of it. according to this ready, prime minister and other senior officials, they're a subordinate race. so you, ron, will not accept that. and the wrong will continue to support the resistance they will support has the they will support and sort of not as they did in the past. and apartheid in palestine will not last the world has turned against is really wishing they failed. as i said, in gaza, they failed. and 11 on after a month they were supposed to take some of them up and they have failed to do anything. and they've had a huge setbacks and huge numbers of casualties over the last few days has been law,

has a when, when say and has done that. so that was march or then they would, i was there a nice and i spoke on your to on houses here repeatedly on the 1st day and i said nothing will change as will i will emerge stronger. and it did and has been minus defeating them on the battlefield. iraq is much stronger than time off or has pulled off well. and so i don't know if there's really when she gets into a fight with you on, the regime will be on the losing end. and the americans should be very careful because the iranians will defend their sovereignty if the americans get involved. and all that spaces in the region and those regimes oppose those bases. they will be in deep trouble. okay, thank you very much for your thoughts. that mohammed randi the professor at the university of to her on giving us his thoughts from the rain in the capital a will that speak to a correspondent, russell sort dawn who joins us from saint ron um, russell. so all that,

any new updates since we last spoke of us that we have now officially heard from the israelis. and also we've been hearing from us as well. the uranium size are still not providing that much of information as to what our concerns are. that there has been 3 explosions, fluids in the capitol, off of your, on, in to it wrong. so is rad. these are saying that they have from doctors to size attacks on the minute to the targets. they're not talking about cheating you running nuclear facilities or oil and gas reserves, or do strategic depos that are reserved for the war times. and indeed when you look at the uranium is now initially there were reports that, you know, there has been some of the attacks on the, they did the, the, the a to force in the around better to main stupid enforcing the wrong. the 1st one is the mount command international airport, and the 2nd was,

is matter about. so now the see or fremont from any international airport and the director general off man about the airport. they both are come in and now they see that the they have announced that the corporations in this to a 4th well just continuing as usual, there is no interruption in terms of dental patients and the flights. and on the other hand, um that they have developed before repair reports coming from the semis, official news agency, fox news agency saying that some of the explosions that they were heard were when the air defense system got activated. so we do not know what does that mean. does that mean that the air decides system need to stop to some of these read a audio vehicles, whether that was the sound of that's or it's not clear that does of this moment. however, the same agency is saying that there are the reports that indicate that the several

minutes of the targets in the capital. how being attacked by desire to switch him by israel. so somebody, news agency, fox news agency is confirming that the has been attached or some military facilities in the capital. however, based on the reports, we see that the scale of the extent of these attacks are not that big. so on the other hand, pests name is it is reporting that culture addicted a way which is another semi news agency, the same to the has not been any report that any minute the targets in iran had been attacked. so these conflict on reports are now coming from the you run your source of information. so now many, all of these images that are not being circulated actually coordinated from distortion media. most of them are not confirmed at this way. however, in any way that now particularly as some of the official news agencies confirming

some of the attacks. but seeing that the life is continue as usual, there is no major interruptions in the business here, which is the case that you can also see here. so now the question is, how is that has conducted these strikes, whether it has has be conducted through the a across then if the so then we have spaces they had used or whether these were me sizes that had be fires to where you're wrong because just remembering the last 2 weeks running and for the minister, a bus that actually has the touring across the region has visited it live in the countries starting from egypt to the gulf. and she said that when she has told his compton pos, individually, the cod countries that come to parts or if you're running for the minister has a sure one that be, or your space is not going to be use a guest,

you're on him and he's very abstract or any american military base that is located that goes the region is not going to be allowed to use a guest. you're wrong, i'm in here. and not the question is whether the is ready strike, respond is were for that was the initial stage. if that is over, i think as of now, the picture that you have is a limited corporation trying to avoid the original pull out more based on the information that you have. but it is rarely, these are going to go to a 2nd or 2 to stage done the things are going to escalate. remarkably, and also another question is whether iranians are going to see these, it calculated the reserve, the response, or what the is going to say. well, we have been attacked and now it's our turn because he ran his head, been quite clear in the lot. caesar october,

the 1st they were saying that we are going to respond to any potentially is rarely at tech, according to the security of the magnitude or, or attack is going to be as cool as the is riley strikes. so now, as israel is officially saying that they have target to the mid 3, go to the middle of the locations in your run. now whether in the coming hours you're running is are going to respond by heating by heating is very minute it targets in his red or not is, is something that we need to wait and see. okay, thanks very much so so, so therefore the latest updates that way. uh, guessing on this breaking news story of those uh, is really strikes on iran in the last few hours. uh, let's speak. so for us is audi who's a professor of international relations to her on university, and he joins us live from to her on via skype. so thank you very much for joining us. obviously a lot going on. it was expected that an attack would happen in iran,

but it's also, even though we haven't had an official confirmation from the radians, it sounds like these attacks, all sorts of being down played some want. and then you know, i live in town in the middle of the day and we have some reports that uh, in the west side of the mountain, south west side of town. and they have had some explosions. yeah. some reports that until you a or defense system is. ready working and the side was a view to the activities of i'm tied to the for assessing the as you said, you don't have any official confirmations, but i can tell you is that whatever it was that we didn't hear it and the city is very quiet. it's about, it's about 4 in the morning the intakes on and that we,

we don't see any that anything happening outside or any activities or movements. so this city is functioning as a month. and if we had any attacks, i think it was, it wasn't that big. it was good to see how likely all iranians might be to react to all of this, even if they aren't major attacks. and you know, the run went through 8 years of the war with iraq in the 1980. so a lot of people who remembers the data. i remember the fact that the tax around that and many other cities, which are hit by messages provided by us and governments at that time. so there is this a culture of expense. there is this sense that the country is

facing international pressures coming mainly from the united states and as it is and you know, we just had the brakes summit. so the, just a few days ago, he was president of the 10 and through the country. yes. so they that so generally people feel that you don't have somebody name is and has some friends. and this is how that was the works. so i don't think there is going to be, i think, you know, schools that are going to run, we have, i have class at 10 in the morning at university of state. and so i don't think we have any, any disruption. and in terms of, of a sig, having a confirmation uh from uh, the us that they seem to have had a, according to a one report, some prior warning of orals. this some, they've certainly described their relationship with israel as on cause. and that was the word that was used, the words that we used when iran has attacked israel,

the 2nd time with those the ballistic missiles. so what, what is the role of the us in all of this? because it has clearly, for a very long time, described iran as a threat to the world. and yet has me, once it's escalates it, where it would be involved, is it likely to be drugs in any further than it already is? as you know, we have the election, it was the united states and of up to 10 days that it would be foolish for the democrats that are sitting in the white house to engage in a serious, military confrontation rented on at this time. i don't think they want trump it to be that piece can do that. i don't think they want time to take the position of a if i become president,

i will and all was it's not in the interest. and this is interesting that not telling you who is attacking you don't know this time as it is, you know, it on responded to to is right. the tax already one was in april, then is a, it is that type did on an embassy, responded to that. the 2nd was, was in july when they attacked us by the time the, the pro, this includes the, the head of how was these on responded to that. so is there any, is didn't have to have a time, do you run for it? for the 3rd time, they didn't have to do that, says any, didn't that have to do it 10 days before the american eviction and the fact that they're doing this. that shows that the, you know, around the page the same way. they have been organizing the genocide and how does that the same way they started that tags and 11 on a tank or something. i'll tell you who is mrs. calvin,

for the 18 attacks and get on it is not going to be good for his political future. w quotes that his home was hits a cabinet last week. i think his personal safety would be a serious danger if he was the attack. you know, so that's about certainly became very possible. i thought i was in the service full of prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as he's been accused by many of the uh, is riley's, for example, the families of those hills captive. that he has put his personal goals and political goals as the main one and not putting those health captives. first, of course, when you mentioned the drone attack, it actually hit his home and says area. and also the defense minister of go out has said that his country still intends to strike back. that was in response to the 1st

of october, rain in attack on israel and said that the strike when you're on, we'll make the world on the sand, is rouse mites. what is the message here from israel? you know, they have a domestic audience and we have them a couple of maybe on those i miss that have occupied the people's land a happy a but the genocide that's taking place. and as i sat to say that, but unfortunately a percentage of these are the population is happy to see those other ment engaged in a genocide. then what is that they, they see what they see and other not kidding woman mentioned that the non data bases, i'm sure they will be happy to hear that there was this attack by and so there is this domestic audience in the is that is happy to see this,

and i'm sure it is of the lobby in washington. is it happy to see this is, as you said, it is in the interest of nothing, you know, who for his political survival to continue the law. what we have to ask is that is this good for kind of the has to be seen as the main supportive of the mind that is engaging in genocide? is this good for him in michigan? is this good for him? with the younger people in the united states that see the genocide in as a, as a cause and as, as a reason not to vote for from the house. and so i'm, and you know, i to 10 minutes in the cities at university of state as well. so this is something that we always wonder about that. why would the binding administration support is

a leads? the kinds is really government in this madness because it is very obvious that engaging in genocide by continuing the 5 tags regime at it, they are not going to be able to have safety in the long run. if for the on citizens you can that's have in a post a resume in 20. if i sent you the template continue, it's the genocide of the project. in the 21st century, all the people that said that that has been open in the last year. you know, those, i mean 11 on are going to grow off and they're going to seek revenge at the end. like to have a separate quotes that need need on, but on has been supporting the pedestal because for the best for the 5 years for floods. um is that what would these writers would say that they are doing this to protect their own citizens from the attacks, especially when you look at the northern border from the attacks of been coming

from the rain and bucks group has bottle of from 11 on on today's northern towns where a nearly a 100000 people have had to evacuate the homes. and then also from israel being attacked by rockets from home us israel has all get that it has to do this to defend its citizens. you know, i can tell you this from that if, as early as had not attacked the united members in damascus. if they had not attacked, this might have gained taxes on you would not have you gone in, but a sick man dismisses him thing. is there any targets you, i mean government officials, they're not interested in admitted to confrontation with these ladies at the end? the same thing i think is true. it has, but it has one that hasn't been under is ready to attack for many, many years. and they decided to engage as a needs to make sure. ready that after the finish with as of the,

in their office and then they would not start the one with 11. and obviously what we have seen in the last 2 months, this was the design. that is where these have so similar to the sidney as they live in these, it does not have much choice but to defend themselves. and it is a sad fact that when you, when you attack it, as well as they will respond and that's what it is all to damage in those then is that the best option that is have is to accept the un resolution that was passed in march accept a ceasefire and let the people then cause it to experience some level of a piece. stop killing women and children and follow through with international law . you know, is there it is attacking you? and so just, you know, southern enough enough is so as i said that in a landing page and as long as they continue that mentality of aggression,

i don't think it was the piece any time. so. okay, thank you very much. 5, is that the professor of international relations out? it's a wrong university. well, early a is really ministry spokesman. daniel has already made the following statement. these really made it trees, conducting precise strikes, admitted tree targets in iran, in response to months of continuous attacks against the state of israel. and the statement of these as the regime in iran, and it's proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking is role since october 7 on several fronts. like every other solver and country in the walls. israel has the rights and you'd say it's a respond to iran attacks. it will. so as the defense capabilities, affinity mobilize to defend the states of israel and the people of israel. well, mohammed john zoom is full of life for us and jordans comfortable on mine because he's ready to government his bands out 0 from reporting from the how much i'm doing

. you've been following the latest lines that had been coming out of israel. what more do we know at the moment as well? so let's parse that statement just a little bit further. the one you just read from daniel rigari, the is really military spokesperson. because even though it talks about the fact that israel is conducting what it calls a, put at precise strike on military targets. any ron, there's not a lot of clarity beyond that. it's not saying that this is a certain phase of an attack. if the attack is over, it's not talking about which targets they consider to be military targets. and it's not describing how the strikes are being carried out. those are the questions that we anticipate will be getting answers about in the hours to come. what we are starting to hear more about is how exactly this was approved. there are reports

emerging now that cabinet members had held a phone conversation with the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, and the defense minister, you walk a lot earlier on friday evening and that it was during that phone conversation that they went ahead and approved the stripe plans they have been briefed and in the days before that, about the outline of the stripe plan, this retaliatory strike long promised retaliatory strike against the rock. and that it was on friday night and a phone conversation with the defense minister and the prime minister. that the cabinet approve it. those are really the only uh, details specific details that we've yet gotten from is real. of course this was anticipated, and usually when i spoke about a just a little while ago, there was a lot of anticipation because people thought this might be immune. and one of the reasons they thought it could be eminent, even though people have been expecting this for weeks,

was because us secretary is at anthony blinking, had come to the region earlier in the week. it was anticipated that he would stay in the region for several days. he did not today, he was up yesterday, rather he was in london meeting with our leaders talking about the issues in the region, talking about trying to de escalate the situation. and because he left earlier than anticipated, people assumed a lot of people in the region. lot of analyst assumed that perhaps that retaliatory strike that israel was going to conduct against iran was going to happen eminently . and that's essentially what happened. now we are expecting to hear more from israel's military in the hours to come when it comes to the specifics about what type of hardware was used. so if this is just one phase in the attack, as my colleague were suicide, dar was talking about just a few moments ago if they're going to be more attacks. if this is ongoing, the clarity about that is what we need to hear from these really army going forward,

right now. we don't know that right now. what we've heard is very much in line with what we've heard leading up to this night, which is that israel had planned to attack, that they're saying that this is because of their self defense and they have a right to do so. that's what they're saying. that they're doing right now, we're waiting for more details. we should just mention one other thing. as we understand it right now is real, has not raised the, the state of alert and when it comes to their home front command as far as directions to citizens. but that could all change as well, and the hours to come sorta, well, that's exactly what's really interesting how much i'm durham is you said that they haven't raised the home, come on the states for the public and is ro which of course they usually do whenever there's any concerns of threats and also it seems that that for now is what we have. whether they'll be any developments from the, from now on woods. we'll have to wait and see. and it's a moving story at the moment. but let's bring in rose jordan,

who's in washington dc. life for us from the rose. what are you hearing in terms of the u. s. have they react to the have we had any statements from the american american administration? well, officials at the us state department at an end in the military have referred us to a statement from the national security council spokesperson, sean sabot, and let me read it directly. we understand that israel is conducting targeted strikes against military targets in a wrong as an exercise of self defense. and in response to a ron's ballistic missile attack against israel on october. first, we would refer you to the israeli government for more information on their operation. now there's also a number of, of reports coming out in the us process indicating the child of the us officials were alerted by israel before the start of this uh, air strike campaign on a,

ronnie and miller, 3 targets that apparently the us president joe biden who was at his home in delaware for the weekend has been apprised of the beginning of the attacks. and it said to be monitoring events very closely. and we understand that according to a multiple reports in recent weeks after the october, 1st start air strikes on tell of even other targets in israel that the u. s. had been telling israel that it should do everything possible to not strike nuclear facilities because that could shut off a regional war and not to strike around oil industry. because that could start off a global economic panic because of the price of oil. and so while we had don't have an official on camera read out from us, officials about what is happening with things air strikes being carried out by the israeli military. we do know that the us continues to maintain the presence of an

aircraft carrier store.
