the the, this is dw news line from balance design make state terra group says it's carried out wednesdays, bombings that killed scores any wrong. bullet 80 people died and to bump last set a memo really event for a top general, who himself was killed in the us drone stripe for he is also coming on. a mazda deputy, laid up, is buried in 11 in thousands, attend the funeral of, sorry, i wrote it. who is believed to have been killed by and is rightly surprised at the old in europe, shivers and a bitter cold snap. temperature is as low as minus 40 degrees celsius and heavy

snow sweep through finland and sweden printing life in many areas. put stance the i'm good, how about is welcome to the program. the so called islamic states has claimed responsibility for an attack on a ceremony in iran that killed more than 80 people that's out of roof made the announcement on the messaging service telegram. it said 2 of its members were responsible for the twin explosions at commemorations of top come on to cost them. so the money who was himself assassinated by his us drone in twins, 2 twins. all these have filled out new job as a political scientist was a think tank, a center for middle east and global order. i asked him earlier, how credible islamic states claim of responsibility appears to be well, this is

a very good question. i mean, it could well be that these nomic states dodge has been behind this terror attack, given the most of the kind of confessional conflicts, which pitts at the summit states. an extreme is sonya organization against the sonic republic, which is a c, a, a entity. so in this particular context, of course, pur, uh, make perfect sense. but then again, another possibility is that he saw me. the stage is claiming that it has been behind discharge. so i talked to portray its strengths. um, but the beads uh as it may um there is a given the past experience as also uh, you know, we had other tower attacks that were attributed to the small me states. and the truth of the matter is that there was very little likelihood that we will have some 30 to about the perpetrators of this attack. because um, um,

there will be no due process. uh, i believe i can identify the culprits total of the identify, the called pres iran, supreme beat i until i already having a, a set the attack us will face a, quote hoff response. though he didn't point to any possible suspect, but kind of risk problems. uh, cuz he made as well as the solid public has a class the same thing 4 years ago after at the us strong kidding of general study money that the us will face to face. um i quote hoc revenge. uh, but we didn't see it. so it's uh, absolutely unclear what the sound republic uh will do because also these attacks are happening in the context of you know, um, difficulties for the region inside and outside of its borders. so it could well

instruments and always these attacks to further secure, at times the domestic arena with a double election on the horizon on march 1st for the parliament. and the assembly of experts was going to select the next supreme leader for which to regime knows that they're going to be uh, probably a very low voltage try it out. so um, this may be uh, you know, the connection domestically an extremity the solve it public has been dealt some importance of blows. bear recently with the killing of not only rudy and baby boots but also a week of the a of a top r g c. commander in syria, a probably by the hands of ease row. so in any case, whoever might be the perpetrator of this attack, i'm quite sure. and if you look at the run in the state narrative that the some of the public is surely going to instruments as long as it's for its own purposes. now

that it has been some speculation that israel may have been behind the attack income on be randy and backed, has blood group and lebanon has been engaged in low level fighting with these rel, since october 7th. how great do you think is the risk that it will escalate a well, according to the iranian state narrative, um, uh, this nomic states uh, has been uh, actually invented by usable in the united states. so, um, uh, all of this, it's very well with the kind of your, uh, i mean, narrative. uh, but it is a very unlikely that these, what it has been to perpetrate to. but because of those, the pattern of these really attacks in your run have been a whole different one is, well, it has been a targeting regime military and nuclear infrastructure is and has been showing away from not uh, you know, uh, not very clearly targeting those infrastructures. and so such

a terrace subtract that has been, you know, seen a witness with victims. again, no casualties amongst civilians will only be counter productive for israel. so i think, you know, is whether it is very unlikely to be a to have been behind this particular a talk. you thank you very much. all the pothole in the jump that thank you us in beverly law and as of how a funeral for how most deputy lead up, who was killed in an explosion on tuesday. sorry i, i really was considered a key figure in the group that carried on the deadly as tara attack in israel's history. on october 7th, he wasn't steps until deputy political leader and a co founder of his military. we, every and 2 other homeless members were laid to rest and 11, these capital evidence, minutes and hezbollah group plans, israel for the assassination. although that has been no claim of responsibility,

but is rarely officials have previously said they would target homeless leaders, wherever they are. waiving the most flag protest is in ramallah voice. the supports in tango this evening and the occupied westbank was a certain town of cell. a ruling high rankings from us official was killed in a striking bay route on tuesday. well, natalie, got in. defies is crazy. hysterical event new need the preventative is israel field and that he and is experiencing a kind of defeat. oh no, i'm in the mail. it knows full well. yeah, there's no victory for it. yeah, no they so 90 got mean and decided la. a sallow re was deputy to her mazda is lita is smell honey, a and the groups k liaison weed has the law in lebanon since ruiz assassination in

now urging restraint to tape the wall contained just wanted to before. we don't want to see it. why beyond israel and am awesome again, we're going to keep working with partners in the region to prevent that from that has the law has so far refrained from escalating beyond board of skirmishes with these ro. but these to attack in the hoss of living on has raised fees of an all out war. and these railey army says it's on high alert and ready for any scenario. let's take a look at some of the other stories. i make you headlines around the world today the united states able to whitehouse national facilities. baldwin, junker, because such, russia has begun firing north korean ballistic missiles into frank. some were used in russia's overnight aerial attack on tuesday. according to the us intelligence officials, north korea has provided ballistic missile launches to russia,
