the first ever meeting between a sitting u.s. president and north korean leader with the world's attention now focused on the southeast asian city state we will hear what its citizens think about the historic summit and the dark side of trade between spain and morocco the moroccan women working as so-called mules carrying heavy merchandise across the border businessmen exploit them to take advantage of the important tax loophole it's morocco's most vulnerable women who pay the price. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. iran's foreign ministry is condemning israel's attack on iranian targets inside of syria the first official reaction to the attack came from the ministry spokesman who called them quote a blatant violation of the country's sovereignty that were conducted on fabricated

and baseless excuses for israel struck dozens of iranian targets inside of syria in retaliation for rocket barrages on israeli positions in the golan heights now israel's government is blaming iranian forces that are inside syria and has accused tehran of crossing a red line there have been growing international calls for restraint. on its way to destroy and defense system this slowdown fitted freddy's by israel's defense force shows one of the strikes on iranian military sites in syria israel's prime minister gave the justification. of iran has crossed a red line our response was appropriate our army has carried out a large scale attack on iranian targets in syria. we are engaged in a long term conflict and our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish

a military presence in syria. israel says its strikes were retaliation for a rocket attack on territory it occupies in the golan heights according to israel iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach their target . if so this would be the most serious direct military confrontation between israel and iran and syria. europe russia the u.s. and the u.n. a calling for restraint. there's a risk of escalation and growing tensions we must avoid that that's what i told her i mean president rouhani and i'll pass on a message to prime minister netanyahu and president putin statements in recent days seems to show the goal of stability and avoiding escalation of the. tensions remain high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements

to its northern border. and for more now let's bring in abbas a journalist and a visiting scholar at the center for middle east strategic studies he is running us from tehran welcome to you and i'd like to begin first by asking you because israel says its measures are retaliate retaliatory following what it calls an iranian attack and that particular incident it has been described as a new escalation bring us up to date on what iran's position is. you know among you ran in a foreign policy foreign ministry spokesman most of us i mean that this issue. on this has been done not by run ins by syrian army in the syria and according to the reports it seems that the israelis initiated their reports but the attacks against syria within minutes the syrian army reacted

by artillery strikes against jolan high and with. syrian army started to fire rockets again at golan heights and iran believes that this has been done by sunni an army and the foreign ministry spokesman said that those claims why is really officials are fabricated and based they slayings and the syrian army and government has its own those it's mits right to defend its sovereignty of its country its ok so it says that it believes that these rockets that were fired and golan heights originated from here but i mean just correct me if i'm wrong we haven't had any official confirmation or denial from tehran on whether the iranian forces indeed fire these rockets have we. we don't have any official comments or statements from iranian officials that iran has done so but iran foreign ministry spokesman comments imply that those responses

were done by syrian army. ok you know more broadly speaking experts here they say that iran that israel that they have been fighting each other basically in the shadows in syria through proxies for example how big is the risk that we are now entering a new a more direct phase in this conflict. i think the situation in the region specifically when it comes to syria. and in the aftermath of the bestowal of the united states from the next day and i think israelis are taking advantage of this situation and i'm not thinking this as a coincidence that they have started to strike syria right after the united states withdrawal from the nuclear there and in fact it was not the first time by the in the lab past month we've been seeing that israel is for four times they have been

attacking and striking syria and i think this can continue and make this situation warsi in coming days because through being attention to be. in the region and escalating i think israelis as long as their friends like americans or so those in the region want to put more pressure on iran and they want to do this thing you know it's a skeleton and i think this is elation can be very serious not just for iran and the region but it can go beyond the region and can have effects for consequences for europeans as well because whenever we see any come to lake or extremism in the region right and afaik other parts of the wall we've seen the wave of immigration from the region towards you which is. as for them i think it's not in the interest of anybody to. discourage them in the region ok so it's your view that israel has been in bold into by the us decision with regard to iran and that there is indeed

a risk that we could see an escalation we thank you so much for joining us to share that view of us of zani a journalist and a visiting scholar at the center for middle east strategic studies joining us from tehran we appreciate it. thank you well now to what will be the first ever meeting of a sitting u.s. president in a north korean leader president donald trump announced in a tweet that he will meet with north korea's kim jong un in singapore on june twelfth singapore is in the rare position of having diplomatic relations with both washington and pyongyang plus a track record of hosting sensitive encounters. the banner headline in singapore's newspapers the city state will host one of the highest stakes summits in decades that certainly pleased locals. some. coming in and on the scene too and the country just says that he's not. i mean doesn't that leave
