prison and back to politics came the latest former deputy leader is given a boiled pardon it paves the way for him to return to politics after a pledge from the country's new leader. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. iran's foreign ministry is condemning israel's attack on targets inside syria the first official reaction to the attack came from the ministry spokesman who called them a blatant violation of the country's sovereignty that were conducted on fabricated and baseless excuses now israel struck dozens of iranian targets in syria it says in retaliation for a rocket barrage on israeli positions in the golan heights israel's government is

blaming aronian forces in 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 a barrel of 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 it strikes me in 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 the target.

if so this would be the most serious direct military confrontation between israel and iran and syria. europe russia the us and the un a calling for restraint. there's a risk of escalation and growing tensions we must avoid them that's what i told the indian president rouhani and i'll pass on a message to prime minister netanyahu and president putin who in a statement in recent days seems to share the goal of stability and avoiding escalation study the. tensions remain high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements to its northern border. and i'm joined now by mayor javedanfar an iranian born middle east commentator based in israel he is also a lecture on iranian politics for a private not for profit research college called the interdisciplinary center thank

you so much for joining us and i'd like to just begin by asking you israel saying that it was retaliating following an iranian attack saying that iran is to blame for the escalation of violence here but is the golan heights incident really the start of all of us. no it's not you know where iran since it started helping bashar al assad when he needs to move war in two thousand and eleven as try to turn syria into a base for the transfer of weapons to hezbollah and also the and then moved on to building a base for itself to threaten the state of israel i mean according to foreign reports that more than one hundred israeli strikes against missile transfers from syria to to lebanon which was initiated by iran. have been also numerous israeli attacks against iranian targets according to far reports this is all part of the israeli strategy israel tried for many years to put in to try to

get iran. to reduce tensions not to use syrian territory to threaten it's to threaten security didn't work so now there's a new strategy in israel in the past thirty nine years israel has been treating iranian proxies as the proxies. ballers been treated it has ball up but now israel has a new strategy has which is an iranian proxy from now on will be treated as an iranian entity under simply running a presence in the area ok so there is no hiding behind the curtain now of proxies in your view do you also think that perhaps the strategy though has changed in the past weeks in particular because i mean we've seen an uptick in the violence have we entered a more dangerous phase in this conflict. i think we've reached the stage where you can present a putin has given up on the iranians that he's given israel a more free hand i mean today the russians just announced that they won't will not be supplying a three hundred anti-missile system to the syrians this could have created

headaches for israel's air force over syria they're not going to do it i think for now after the after the cancellation of the iran deal which actually thing was the wrong decision but in any case israel now knows that every weapon convoy iranian western convoy that it destroys in syria will become more costly for iran to replace because of the upcoming sanctions and also when it comes to destroying iran and infrastructure in there israel knows that every strike today will mean that it's a virgin the mistake they made in two thousand and six when it allowed hizbullah to build up an arsenal it also means that it will be more difficult for iran to replenish them they will be more expensive because the iranian economy is about to hit a very important crisis brought about which is going to be brought about by the u.s. congress i'd like to end by saying that this is not that there are elements in iran who would like to reduce tensions that includes the iranian government but the iranian regime is not listening to them and the announce u.s. withdrawal to the iran t.l.

as that also change the calculus on the of iranian side would you say. yes well not not seemingly but he will have to carry you know it's iran is already played by mismanagement by deep corruption and now the americans are basically going for the throat of the iranian banking system they're going to make it extremely difficult for you and your banking system to function sooner or later and this is why that and one of the reasons why he said the old support of the financials to be posed iran's going to do some recalculation about the amount of support it gives the bashar assad because the costs because they're going to go up for the union regime when it will be in syria because its funds are going to start to dwindle because of the sanctions we want to thank you very much mayor javedanfar an iranian board middle east commentator joining us with the analysis of the situation we very much appreciate it thank you sir. when i was going to check of some other
