government grants them more concessions the i'm on the so thanks for joining us. the united states is promising what it calls a quote, very consequential response to a drone attack that killed the 3 of its troops and jordan and wounded more than 40 others. us officials say the strike on sunday hit and military outposts known as power 22 near the border with syria. it's the 1st time such an attack has killed american soldiers in the region since the start of the israel, him off for us president joe biden has blamed around backed militants. though iran denies being involved, us defense secretary lloyd austin, used a meeting with nato secretary general in arlington, virginia to condemn the attack. a good morning everybody. let me start with my

outrage and the depth of 3 brave us troops in jordan and for the other troops when president and i will not tolerate attack on us forces. and we will take all necessary actions to suspend the us and our troops. giorgio fury is a us based risk consult and i asked him what the us response to the drone attack could look like right now in washington. there are many lawmakers and especially really the republicans who are trying to put pressure on the bite in administration to respond to by launching strikes against targets inside ron. and that would be a very reckless way to handle the situation that would risk an escalating the crisis in the middle east to an entirely new level. and for that reason,

my view is, is a bite and administration will probably not go that far. but i think we're going to see dividing team decide to intensify us military strikes against groups backed by iran in the region. chiefly in iraq, syria, m e. m, in. um, as you said, uh the strikes inside, iran would be unlikely, but we have actually heard reports that somebody around back fighters and syria are evacuating their posts. but basically an anticipation of us strikes. do you expect that washington could soon hit targets inside syria? so inside syria yes, definitely. um it should also be noted that the is re lease has been doing this for many, many years. i mean, i, i think um, you know, in recent years at least one or 2000 times or so, these re lease has been doing it. i think we might start seeing the new last stating i this type of action and intensifying i. these really strikes against

iron g, c, links and militias that are present in syria and also perhaps in other countries too. let's talk more about the roles around here because the bite and ministration said that this militia was backed by iran. but can you tell us more about what that means to be backed by iran? well, there is no denying that you're on sponsor as a whole host of the militias. inside i, the rock syria and elsewhere. are you running a just give the farms money, training, political, moral support? i'm everyone realizes that i think where maybe some experts have disagreements where there's some debate is the extent to which officials into hall and they have direct control over these groups. there were some people who argue that these groups you proxies and the running authorities have complete control over them.

there are other people who say, it's not quite that simple, and these groups have an agency and they get bashing from a ron. but it's not the case that every single time they do something in the region, it's because they received instructions from your on i think some groups, maybe it's appropriate to consider them iranian proxies. whereas others, i think it's a little more appropriate to consider them allies your partner's on the wrong, but not necessarily proxies. i think we have to look at each group on a case by case basis. giorgio capiro theo of gulf state analytics, thanks for joining us. thank you. the united nations has begun an investigation into its agency for posting and refugee is known as unreal. the organization is under intense scrutiny after is real a to some of its staff of being involved. you october 7th. i'm aust hair attacks. a dozen countries including major donors like the us in germany,

even though he made that announcement earlier on, he was straddling 2 sides of the line. he hadn't missed the amc formerly and hadn't submitted. he's official resignation. and as an, as a card carrying amc member would have had access to attend a of the meetings and, and get the internal amc information. so the amc chose to take the stip off suspending him and in all likelihood he will end up being evicted or removed from the party and its entirety. i don't think that that's something that jacob's whom i will take issue with since he has already started campaigning for his new party. the quote do i see the party and the name is very closely associated with the a and see if that was the agencies, the name of the agencies on we. and it looks like this part in the amc is likely to go into this coming election with the legal battle over its name. the agency sees
