he also, he's not eclipse enough to respond to a not pre flattened the cost on just the or the other ones are enjoying your watching. i'll just say, always continuing coverage of israel strikes on iran. the about rogers ready massage launched into to ron explosions. i heard across the uranium company israel said it's conducting precise strikes against the electric targets ng, to iran in response to the october 1st attacks by wrong what it's doing now in to

around these are pictures of freedom square where it seems to be business as usual, in the arabian capital, when it's just on $300.00 g m t, that's 6 30 am in the radium capital and tara, regarding reports of israel has just launched most strikes against iran. well, these are some of the latest images out of terror on earlier as well concert i'm just conducting would it cool? precise strikes against miniature targets and iran in response to a ron's attack against israel on october. first, irena inspect media has confirmed 6 explosions, west and south of the capitol tower on. but it's not commented on the cause of the scale of the damage. but it's me to a cost moment. right. so. so the only doing just live on uh from the right in capital rifle. so what more have you been hearing of more explosions in and around

the range and capital? is it confirmed that indeed this was the 2nd wave of strikes as well we have clearly heard though of the 2nd wave, but these are some of the report that is right is are saying that there was that the strikes happened through with the 3 waves be here in the capital of you run, we have heard 2 waves. the 1st one has happened, the roughly around 2 am local time, and the 2nd one, just 3 hours after that. and the right hands here are seeing that most of the explosions, the sounds that were heard were actually sounds of the writing air defense system being in action, any random seen by the time you're saying that's the fast system has delivered properly, has functioned quite to properly and they say that this is a success so far, but now it is found rise in that run. and if it's time that perhaps perhaps we are going to see the security law of the destruction,

whether that has been any casualties. and the extension of the, the harm that has being caused by the is riley strikes here. as of now, we do not know which kind of technology is that has employed. what? where did that? what does that mean? the rockets use of the me size of a crash or quad core upstairs. so that smells, all of these questions still remain on the answers, but we have seen that the focus of these is ready attacks. where was the capital of the country town? however, it was not the limit to be around. the running officials are saying that not on the turnaround, but in several other locations, mean the industry, including the salt of the country, you're running, the defense system has intervened to stop the is riley, a strikes. and now the run, the officials are saying that's the flies across the country, are suspended until a further notice earlier the state. they were saying that everything is all right.

and the, the a for the, the air force or functioning the flights are resuming. but now they have changed that the see that the, the, the flies are suspended onto a further notice. so for now what we know that is rare to use have try to attack that you're running your defense systems, the drone basis and the a, the end of the missile spaces. however, as i said, the scale of the destruction, so that the casualty so far are not clear. and we'll see it in from the iranians that they all these quoting is an attempt. so this thing that is ready is try to attempt to hear me the 3 targets, but they so far have not confirm whether any of these military places made it through locations, had been directly sheets or not. on the other hand, you're right in the officials are already evolving to respond to saying that the wrong cause, as of right to respond to is riley attacks. it has been the clear running position

since for the 1st when you're on launch, told me it was $200.00 me size on israel ran is were saying that you're one, the runs adoptive policy is teeth for test. and it was response is going to be according to this is riley potential attack. and now we do not know, of course, when iran is going to respond. but they're saying that they possess the rise to respond, alright to, i'll, just as rachel said, all the, updating us on the events, 7 nights in the radium capital to iran. let's bring in william lawrence. he's a former us diplomat. i'm coming to profess of international relations at the american university. it joins us live from washington, d. c. williams, reports of a possible 2nd wave of his writing strikes hitting to iran. i'm just wrap things up for me. what's your assessment now as to what we're seeing unfolding all screens with him? and i think one thing that isn't really being reported is that the limits of israel is doing is a direct result of us pressure. you know, we've all been so disappointed with how little us pressure has been placed on

israel and guys in less than on with the genocidal. um, you know, the tax going on in, in, in, in, in guys in the $3000.00 people killed in lebanon. but, you know, with a lot of us pressure saying, don't hit nuclear facilities, don't hit oil facilities and don't go and kill civilians. we have what looks like might be a rather limited set of strikes on to head on. so israel sort of flexing its muscles and sending messages, but not going through the types of destruction that they've been doing and these other centers of conflict. and so that's interesting because here we are 2 weeks before the us election. and because of that, israel has a wider card launch than it usually has to do whatever it wants, because no one in washington is going to go this way or that way on, for pressuring israel. but you did listen. uh, it seems and, and therefore we might not have as much of an escalation as we could. yeah, that's an important point you make with them because we know, as you say, the by the ministration i've been urging these,

raised the limits and perhaps calibrate is retaliation. i'm not pit new cas sites oil and gas facilities, but on the, on the, on a broader scale. how worried is the by that ministration about israel is response. now that they're very worried overall, they're not happy with that's going on. and guys, and lebanon, and even young men, to a degree, and then the other fronts of this war. i mean, there's 7 or 8 countries affected by the conflict. and washington is deeply troubled by a lot of these really actions. and by things that could provoke a wider war. uh and, you know, american troops and ships are on the ready, you know, for all kinds of defensive actions. and we've had the 1st deployment of us troops to israel and a defensive way. so washington is very spun up, i was out of reception, i was pulled out of to come in, they just did a and you know, everybody was talking about it. a lot of us officials and an air of officials that read this reception. i mean, people are paying close attention and they're very concerned about the, you know,

in this one night, you know, if we get through it and, and, and there isn't a lot of death and destruction as we're seeing elsewhere them. that's better than the alternative. what we really need, of course, is a ceasefire. and you know people, the sort of 25 percent of americans who are opposed to what's going on in the region and want to cease fire immediately. you know that there, they just would love to buy the ministration to do what it hasn't had the courage to do, which is just and this whole thing. in the meantime, if you can limit that and limit destruction, that's better than the alternative. all right, so i wouldn't be long, it's always good to get your thoughts and your analysis with them. thank you very much. indeed for talking to us. partner is randy ministry spokesman, daniel had already made the following statement. he said these randy ministry is conducting precise strikes of military targets in iran, the regime, and it's proxies in the region that had been relentlessly attacking israel since october 7. like every other southern country in the world, israel has the right duty to respond to ron's attacks. he went on to say our

defense capabilities are fully mobilized to defend the state of israel and its people. i'll just as mom jump to him is in jordan's capital, i'm, i'm because these really governments found out as here from reporting insight is l and in the optimized westbank. so these are the spokesman, daniel had gone with that given what am i swear by short statement about these along the way to is ready strikes mohammed, what more have we been hearing from ms. wendy officials about the strikes themselves and the possibility of the 2nd wave that we've been hearing about. yeah, that's right there. and well 1st let's just parse a little bit further. that statement that you quoted from daniel garvey is really military spokesperson. because even though that statement said that there were precise strikes being carried out against military targets in the wrong, there's a lot more that onset, namely what, how with the strikes carried out, what part of the military targets? and is this just one phase of an operation,

or will there be more now we know that there had been reports that there has been at the very least 2nd phase. there are reports emerging now in his really media, mostly citing us media, stating that there are, is really officials and us officials that are indicating that this perhaps was 3 strikes against iran in the last few hours. but that has not been made clear by these really aren't me. i'm sure that there will be further clarification from them in the hours they had. what we've heard thus far from the israeli army and from israeli officials, that one statement from a gary. but then also there were reports that this strike was approved by israel's cabinet earlier on friday evening that it took place on a phone call in which cabinet ministers were speaking to the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, as well as these really defense ministry, a walk, a lot of it in that phone call, they approved

a plan that they had been briefed about in the days leading up to that call. then it was just hours after that that this strike began. now, what we need to hear from these really is going forward is what targets were there? how did they carry out this attack? are we going to be expecting more attacks and how many phases precisely were carried out as you were speaking to your guest? just a few moments ago, we know that the us was extremely concerned about any kind of retaliatory strike from israel towards the wrong, perhaps leading to a wider regional consulate ration now. us officials in the past week based on reports in the us media seemed to be reassured by as really counterparts, that israel was going to see the advice of the us and not target nuclear sites and not target oil facilities. but again, this has not been made clear from these really military. at this stage, one more bit of information i should mention, darren,

these relays have continued to say that they have their defensive capabilities and that they are on the lookout for any type of counter strike from iraq. right. we know that, but one thing that we've heard thus far in the last few hours from these rallies is that they have not yet changed. the direct is when it comes to the home front command. that means that they have not alerted citizens in israel to change any of their behaviors or actions that they don't think that they are under imminent threat of any kind of counter strike. now this is a very fluid, a very dynamic situation. it could change a minute to minute hour, hour and certainly israel has indicated that they are ready for any type of scenario. but what we're waiting on right now. more specific details from israel as to the scope of this strike as to what they targeted. and as to how many phases this retaliatory strike against iran was yeah, that's your site mohammed. israel hasn't raised the home fund, come on threat level yet. so that may give an indication that perhaps it's now done

. but where do these direct attacks between iran and israel leave the was in gauze that i'm let them because as you've been telling us, i mean, they are all related but focused through how these all fit together in terms of israel, strategic warnings. a. well, here's the interesting thing, there is real, the leaders in israel continue with their defiant statements to try and reassure its citizens and israel, that all the wars that they are waging all the conflicts that they are involved in right now. and i'm talking about, of course, israel's war on god's, i'm talking about the conflict with his butler in lebanon. and of course now this retaliatory strike against iran up that was, that had been expected that was expected for the last several weeks. israel kept saying that they were going to strike out hard against the wrong and retaliation for the ballistic missile. strikes that the wrong launch towards israel on october 1st, and all the statements from israeli leaders over the course of the past few weeks when it comes to this multi front conflict is rarely to continue to say that the

actions that they are taking are going to ultimately make israel a safer place for its citizens. now, when you look at the stark reality, what's going on, it is real right now. you can understand why there are people in israel that are questioning that because what are we seeing more and more of the last few weeks? we are seeing almost a daily barrage of rockets being launched from 11 on towards is real. many of those rockets in the course of the past few weeks have been targeting major cities like high foot, which is the most of the largest city in the north. it is the home of the main naval base for israel's. maybe also there had been missiles and drones that have been targeting tel aviv. you had that drone strikes that happens to zaria in central israel just a few days ago that also targeted in the hit. there is really prime minister benjamin nothing. yeah. who's residents there? this is leading to a sense of more vulnerability is real. many people questioning if this has become

part of the fabric up their daily lives. if this is a new reality for them at a time of their leaders are saying that they are ultimately going to be safer because of the actions that israel is taking. they are seeing more missile, more drones being launched towards israel. and several of them have managed to evade israel's much vaunted iron dome air defense system. there had been missiles and rockets that have landed in places like high firm in places like tele, vive, now just a few hours ago. last night you had 2 people killed in a town in the north of israel because of shrapnel that fell from a missile to be intercepted in another missile that fall in, in that town. so this is becoming more of a daily reality for is really, is, israel is coming more under attack. more rockets, more drones are able in the last few weeks to evade those air defense systems. and this is causing more people to be feeling vulnerable at a very critical time. and as we said right now, in the past few hours,

israel has not raised the threat alert level. they've said they're ready for any potential threats, but they have not raised it. but that could be very different in a few hours from now. so is this strike now that's been made against the ron? is that going to raise the threat level? are they going to face counter attack from the wrong? is that going to means that there's even more missiles that are launched towards israel in the days to come? this is something that more and more people in israel are contending with right now and trying to understand what exactly that means for the country going for darren. all right, so i'm gonna jump to him live for us, the in the godaddy and capital. i'm on mohammed, thank you. well, in the us, the national security council, sports person show on summit has issued a statement. he says, we understand that israel is conducting targeted strikes against military targets in iran as an exercise of self defense and responds to ron's missile attack against israel on october. first, we would refer you to this really government for more information on that operation

. let's bring gabriel who's on though he's live for setting you and a headquarters in new york, gabe sites late the on friday night where you are in new york. have you heard anything yet from the un on these is randy strikes on iraq of the not yet. and that's not unusual either. it's a little bit before 11 30 in the evening. here in new york, the secretary general. we believe he's back in new york after being in the restaurant for the brick summit in cuz on the last few days. uh. but usually when situations like this happened, it takes the secretary general in his office several hours to get a statement out. and that is by choice because they want to assess the situation. they don't want to put out a statement too soon. they want to wait till they get a full assessment of what exactly is happened. but i can tell you that certainly has been monitoring this very closely and in touch with various officials and channels that he has access to. and i can tell you that we probably will expect

a statement from the secretary general in the coming hours. i can tell you he's been pushing all along now for a whole to this. he said the back and forth tit for tat between israel and iran needs to stop. he's been saying that he's been worried about regional escalation for many months, quite frankly. now this was really his, uh, worst case scenario is this uh, escalation from is really into 11 on and now of course we're seeing it's taking place and even a 3rd front. so nothing from the secretary general at this point. also, i should mention nothing from the a rainy mission here in new york. either they often do put out statements. sometimes the 1st statements so far, nothing from them yet either they've been terms of the timeline. just remind us about the diplomatic activity up to you and that's led up to where we are today with the strikes on iran. i'm the, the animosity that spill type of between israel under on. so yeah, of course this is something that's been going back a years now of course,

but it is certainly escalated in the last year or so because of israel's war on guys. he runs a foreign minister and also of their permanent representative to united nations. and it has been saying, consistently here in new york at the us that they want piece, iran does not want escalation with era. and they've been with the israel, i'm sorry, they've been saying that consistently, they are saying anything that they have done towards israel, including the october 1st, a ballistic missile attack on israel has been a response to is really aggressions on era. and then a point back, of course, to april 1st when uh, when is real attack that uranium consulate in damascus, a clear escalation, killing, of course, top a mouse has blood i r g c, leaders, iraq and said that is unacceptable. that's a violation of international law in the un charter, and that is why they responded, of course. so this has been

a back and forth diplomatic tit for tat that we have seen here in new york at the security council. and now i think what you're going to start hearing from diplomats and the coming days and even hours is enough. they really want to put the brakes on this because they know the longer this goes on, the more dangerous it certainly can get. all right to out as it was, gabrielle is on the line for stem and un headquarters in new york, gabe, thank you. so let's take a look at the critical events of escalated tensions between israel and its regional nape, as well in april as well conducted a strong kind of ron's consulate in domestic us getting 13 people, including 2 irena and ministry. come on this. 13 days later iran launched about 300 missiles and drones directly at his ready territory, mocking the 1st time carol and have conducted a direct to michel strike against israel in july. how mess is political cheapest? melania was killed in a mass strike. the target of these accommodation into ron the attack took place

a day off the honey or tend to be know the ration started. many of the roms, new president must soon possess can well in september of thousands of handheld pages, milwaukee choke is used by, has bought a dramatically exploded across lebanon, syria, and on his ready attack. getting 42 people is ready minutes for them to launch some extensive operation and 11 on whatever. $650.00 strikes against has the targets and by the end of september, has ballasa city general has done nothing while i was killed is a little to expand that it's operation string to the ground defensive, into southern lebanon. and then october 1st, iran launched another significant attack against israel firing some $200.00 ballistic missiles. to iran said it was in response to his randy miniature operations in garza and 11 on as well as the king of senior. i'm us and has blog leadership. and if it goes best for him to fill out his id, is a professor of international relations at to around university joins us via skype from the rainy and capital. i'm good to have you with us again for that. so the

reports are possible fresh wave of attacks that are wrong with the new explosions being reported in the capital. your that what's your assessment of what's been happening over night? a you know, i of low cost of i to 3 30 in the morning the, the journalist calls me. and i'm the 1st today, but i didn't hear anything. and i was met you in about an hour and a half ago. and i had that in the and here's the fence the system working while i was on a with you. and that since that time, nothing new has happened. so over on my kids just went to school just a few minutes ago. so things i normally have a class at 10 am and the people don't worry about it. it doesn't. it's

me. don't see any anything different this morning than what we saw last more. yeah, i'm not, i'm not, i'm not fits in full with a report. we're just getting on the why is these ready? ministry spokesman has just released the statement confirming that these randy responds has now been completed. so that would fit in with what you're saying that people are pretty much going about the business. normally in the writing and capital where you are, but let me just ask you because it, ron has said all along, but it doesn't want a full scale with israel. it's prepared for one know what preparations has the wrong been making because it knew these is ready attacks were going to happen next . i think you saw the face. i was looking good this morning. we had the intent here on a defense systems. looking at 2 rounds right there in gauged and, and we haven't had any reports of anything hitting the ground. so it seems

the defense system has been doing that job. i actually went to the refund for my house about half an hour ago looking for any signs of smoke or any anything. nothing is visible. and so i think the pre creation that they run in military has been working on for the last 3 weeks. at least is, is pain golf so far so good. yes, i'm for a lot of, i mean in terms of the big picture historically meant for many years has been the shadow war between israel and iran, with the rom, supporting its regional proxies like his blog. and how might some other groups. but i'm going to, i'm wearing these direct attacks now that we're seeing between both sides because that changes the dynamic, doesn't it? is it being right? does it on? is it that's interested in it, minnesota confrontation do? it is right on the 9th of the states. so any other country that, you know, we just had the brakes summit in russia, but just yesterday, the young man,

presidents 310 from the summit. so you have to visions for the future of the war. yeah, moving towards the mon type puller system, one pulled led by the united states is engaging in the genocide cutting tens of children on daily basis a is attacking may, but in countries that's one vision. and the other vision is what you saw country is cooperating. one thing to trade normally, one thing to engage in it normally uh, puts the combinations that may not make relations. so the people of the one i'm looking at to vision is for the future of the world. and i think the 2nd vision is in line with humanity. and the 1st vision is in line with the genocide that you had with this thinking of as 911. all right, so for what his article was about to get your thoughts on you and i was just there from the radium capital fill out his audit. thank you. that's bringing the house on

9 a. he's a scholar and political analyst with the middle east and duty joins us live from washington dc. so reports that a possible 2nd wave of his reading strikes had hit the random capital. but these right is now saying, look, we are finished with this now. but what's your assessment of what we've seen on the fall live night? this is a major mismatch uh, victory in the kind of test we use buying that term. yeah. by gotten them done by others about has about to big clues on the on. and the uncertainty as even to planes having being used against the today, i'm not even talking about the targets and what these thoughts are and what, what kind of damage has happened. i mean, the academically, something does happen, but what exactly it's no longer here. this mismatch, if it ends here, it means we can expect thing here and small techs and others to be shuttled. thing

against the us as a, having basically block is a from function the, the way is uh, will that punish? do you not? not that does that include that back to this is what, what we are likely to need. because the, as it stands right now, we say indeed it ends here. if indeed the on assess is that that has not been not that there has been a several types of action that the very best to deal with it and exports. it's not going to engage in an other down against is that it's in the, the ends here. it's civic study for. yeah. yeah, i see here on, we'd have stablished basically, a proportion on or even less than proportion i, ace and set between that. it says and is a, let's see, member that, that kind of the fire store. we saw it as best. everyone watched on tv calling on is that as against the non event that seems to have to be in the account that task is best to spend the is that has lost the,

the escalation of the terms. it has lost the goal. i think the batch and therefore really the so let's say let's, let's, let's move on how sound, because we know that the, by the ministration has been urging these riley's to limit to calibrate it's retaliation and not hits the range of nuclear facilities. it's oil and gas within it is but what mobility house on how why would, is a, by the administration about how israel response or when it's in the loop with witnesses that, that's on the top of it. yeah. okay. it seems that the administration might have to basically imposed on is i convinced is that i don't know which is which the type of submitted to the action, but the that's not that out. but i mean, evidently the by the not ministration was not interested in the photos back store happening just a few days before the elections. it's not clear that that says that the whole inter

stuff coming to hire this and we can see how it was done on south would have to use that to events in order to say, look, how would they cannot managed. but i mean, we're lucky to have no problem, so they'll put that down to is that they, they, because they have to lose. if indeed it turns out to be what, that's what it does. but let's, i think it's so wiser to wait and see if this is in the respective of became a announcement on the fact of the very government. now these are the army. so it's so official media that, that the, the response is that they're done with the response and they're ready to be taught . it's uh, there's an escalation on the part of yeah, if that's the case, i'm saying that the way this is one of my, my be is out of the as some sort of, uh, showing some spine on the part the us a new station that they've done none of the sort over the past year, but these black kids will backfire on it. and on is uh, do you guys now laquita? is there any, you know, i'm gonna test tool that these conveying the ad amazing that and then they expect

the fiction or at least this is how expensive but say it's fiction that i tax on it says, but i mean, there's one in the wrong house on have never been more close uh, in opening up a new and perhaps far more dangerous front in the middle east. complex. how do you see any sort of why the conflagration planning out and further driving the us into the conflict as well in case you know, and besides stories found to even, you know, mind never letting me set up just showing that it's with engaged in the 3rd floor pads. oh, we'd like to hear a lot of horses in is uh and in the us among the more hawkish voices here. who would say that this cannot stand the eddies an escalation, some of your own has to be met with this full force and force. this is actually what many were urging is that to do, and this is a, what is it that has promised to do so ways, but it's proportional to response. maybe this one cautions response is a, is

a function of the year on the tell you anything. so this a new attack and in that case.
