the, the business dw news lives from ballad, repulsive explosions in the sky over iran. delaney and media say add defense systems kicked in as a nuclear facility near the city of useful. israel has previous and said it would retaliate or iran drone or this how the tax last weekend. you saw us secretary of state and to the bank and says the g 7 proof of nations is more united than ever and will hold round to accounts also on the program indian from minnesota and remotely successful traveling as opposed to opens in the world's biggest election the,

i'm gonna have those as well come to the program. you're on state media and have reported loud explosions in the sky in the of the central city of east farm to iran says advent systems were activated at a nearby military base. and as a nuclear facility shooting down the number of drones. meanwhile, us media reporting is well filed at least one miss up in retaliation for an extensive randy and rocket enrolling the tac last weekend. slashes mike, the sky above the iran in what alleged to be and it's really attack iran state media reported loud sounds. being hood near the city of east, behind the area or is home 2 important defense facilities. and a large nuclear seem to as the attack prompted flanked divisions across around

$2.00 to $5.00. as by daybreak, the incident was being down played most have a use of the state media reporting. the city was calm and emphasizing that nothing was out of the ordinary for doors. so the, there were some loud sounds that were heard in the east stuff. the city of s, behind this was related to the air defense system, as though we told you, and our viewers before triggered by the presence of the 3 small drones that were present in that area. other than that, nothing has happened. everything is back to normal. us officials have reportedly told media that israel is behind the incident. it's will cabinets has been debasing its response to a large scale, a rainy and messiah tac last week. and iran said it had retaliated to

a presumed is riley strike on the roms, embassy and syria. which killed 13 people. israel hasn't acknowledge the it's the honda tech, but it's national security minister indicated he thought it didn't go far enough. posting the wood feeble on social media. and ma'am condemned the suspected strike while egypt road for strange from o policies. the you and other regional leaders are also cooling for come we have to do all everything possible that all sides. we straightened from the escalation in that region. we have seen the mass of attacked withdrawals that massage round about 300 right here on, on as well, if it is absolutely necessary that the region stays stable and that's all sides. refrain from further action. mean, i believe israel and iran to de escalate in hopes of keeping this latest, middle east violence from spiraling out of control. i all see w's

jerusalem correspondent, rebecca, which is whether it has been any confirmation that israel was behind this attack. and now we've had no official confirmation, we have reached out to these ready military. they haven't confirmed to also to anybody whether or not they were indeed the perpetrators of yesterday's retail attribute or this morning i should say's retaliatory attack. that is something i wanted to preface. going into this and that pretty much everything that we know and the picture that is becoming clear as this day progresses. we know from unnamed sources, what i can tell you is that some us officials have confirmed to that mainly us media. that is relative, carry out this strike that's been backed up by on 9. does radio officials the told the washington post? it is well carried out this attack. that a was a message to iran. we know that the defense system in that it is the one area in iran, was triggered and was and went off. and we've seen that video searchlight taken for

certainly looks like into sections, but that's pretty much what we know. so far, as i mentioned is ralph still yet to comment, and it's likely that that isn't going to change. it suddenly seems that israel, that if this is indeed an attack from israel, that not commenting is part of the strategy. they most often don't comment on these types of military strategies, but particularly with this one, it appears or at least the analysts, the same, could be part of the plan. the israel wanted to counter attack that they said that they had no choice about to counter attack, but they didn't want to perhaps humiliated. ronald forced them to not to retaliate . again, that is certainly the pressure that they were put on the, by the international community, particularly the west western allies, the us germany, the u. k, a u a to really kind of try to de escalate this situation. and that appears to be the situation that we're looking at. uh, we've heard from a senior iranian official telling the reuters,

these agency that iran has no immediate plan to retaliate. so for now, you know, certainly is hopefully in the region and across the world, read a that this is not looking, but it's going to escalate the for the moment though this region remains very hot and nothing can be guaranteed here. and this will the tile area. ok, it's fun in iran is home 2 sites that are associated with a company's nuclear side. uh, would that make it a potential target? you think it's very difficult to say suddenly, probably, you know, we know that is the hon does have a large ebay. so we know that it has a major missile production complex. and as you've mentioned or is in that report several nuclear sites. now we have had confirmation that none of the nucleus sites were hit or damage. the atomic energy agency confirming what we were hearing from a radiant state tv on that. it was more likely that it was that military base or a military base in the area that was the target. and that could suggest that it was

a tit for tat attack because it was in fact a military base or an army and a military base in israel that was struck by one of the me selves that came in around attack metallic tree attack on sack today. so you know, we could take take that from from, from that, but it is a tit for tat attack, but certainly none of those nuclear facilities being damaged in this attack. i think i was just as important from jerusalem. thank you very much. rebecca. from one of those that's good and military expert, marine. i'm a ron from king scholars london, marietta, and there is no official confirmation yet that israel is indeed behind this attack . what do you think? i a good afternoon. gerhard. well, if look at the world news on specifically that you asked news um, a lot of the us officials have said that is the route might be behind the attack. and that the, the east ro authorities had informed the united states last minute that they would

launch this attack. so, given the targets, given the timing, today is the 85th birthday or fi i told a human a. it would seem like it could have come from east route. it is very symbolic. now, what do you make of this guy? you look through some tax, it's quite model. it isn't, is it is very interesting if we compare it to a rainy and attack last saturday evening, sunday, as on sunday morning. it seems like both countries are in a d escalation spiral. so if you run made her to launch an attack that wouldn't give is trial enough free packs to counter attack, or at least to launch a very serious a back that could potentially damage uranium nuclear program or it's air bases. now

they use rarely attack is trumping that potentially throbbing around the goods routine choice. so it is interesting that both countries feel the need to respond, but to respond in such a way that in the way it's a broder of war against both countries. now you're on satisfied by and deceptive several drones. what do you know about your ons defense? good capable. this is hey, last you know this year actually, um, in february there were 2 new rear defense systems. introduced. one is a mom which is a medium range, high altitude for ballistic missiles and the, the other rocks which is a low altitude area defense system. and these have been upgraded, especially as a later one. they're very mobile. they're working 360 degrees. so these are the official statements by, as a radian defense ministry,

we don't know how well they work. and apparently, um, why don't the system see a mon one is also capable of shooting down drones. and these happen presented essentially because also growing tension was israel. so we have the, the specifications on paper of these 2 era defense systems. how well they work. we, we don't know which remains to be seen by the apartment lee. they have been working on these flying objects, which some believe to be quite cop truth launched inside. iran has been shut down by interest. dr. missiles. so we cannot say that run doesn't have any air defense capability. certainly, given the circumstances in giving the sanctions they are working on the or air defense is understanding how crucial it is possibly getting some input from their allies such as russia. now let's have a look of a target, a region. why would is fine be target is does best send a message in itself. yes, it is very symbolic in itself. indeed,

on the one hand we have the uranium enrichment facility there. and on the other hand, there is also an air base there which feels the very old sil us made app for skin palm kept aircraft purchased before they ran in revolution in 1979. so it would seem like it is a hand, presumably bright israel to say we can reach you to and we know where you in the clear facilities are, there is no damage to either one. but even considering the fact that the israel li intelligence knows where those bases are located and has the capability to reach them and notches around to say, stay away from attacking us. because the next a time could potentially be much more serious in the sense that one of those 2 objects could be damaged or destroyed,

if not to altogether. it depends unless somebody not there on the for us. thank you very much. marina. thank you for having me now the boston of ron happened while foreign ministers from the g 7 nations wrapped up talks on the italian audit of capri, the sub leaving industrial democracies, won't of new sanctions against iran for its drone and missile attack on isabel last weekend. back hold on both sides to avoid an escalation of germany's for a minute. so i didn't, i babble, criticized iran for its attack on his route up against the backdrop of reports about the attacks on the 19th of april. we call upon old talk chase to work to ensure that there is no further escalation as the g 7. that is exactly what we're doing these days interval in this morning. the government's crisis unit meant that

the guidance and leadership of different offers, the federal government, continues to watch the situation on the ground. it's a fact that last weekend, iran in an unprecedented manner, escalate the situation and tried to take to the brink of k, it's region to upload alcoholic. the secretary of state destiny blinking says measures will be taken against iran. you saw as well, or you'll see soon in the g 7 statement, a commitment to hold around to account to account for it's the stabilizing activities, holding into account by a degrading it's missile and drone capabilities. and yesterday the united states announced additional sanctions on wrong targeting. you are the programs still industry companies that are associated with the arrow to see the ministry of defense and its armed forces. logistics. the g 7 statement makes clear that g 7

countries will adopt additional sanctions or other measures in the days ahead. from all that, that's now cross over to the w as chief international. i did have it to walker, which is what do you make of the g 70 does reactions, sofa. so yeah, well i mean this being a lot of very sort of k g and quite cautious language about what happened during the night about this sensible attack by as well against iran. and i think very much what you're hearing from the g 7 is pretty much the same as we've been hearing in the run up to, to, to this incident that it's all about trying to avoid as far as advice collation. so trying to say we don't want any further escalation, we don't want to get into it kind of a spiral that could lead to the kind of dangerous places that we've been talking about earlier. and the positive that is about trying to provide israel with reassurance that the g 7 has its back diplomatic lee that it's gonna take other

actions against iran, for instance, in the realm of sanctions. let me just see your info from tony blinking to try to try to give the impression to as well. you don't need to handle this entirely militarily. there also some people i several times that we have to that sort of title to tone that they are trying to, to strikes the business take. let's take a look. not the why the region, how did the neighboring nations react to it? yeah, well i think it's what do you thing to, to look a one in particular and that's jordan. now we know that when iran looks that massive a bum kind of barrel, i should have missed 1000 drones against israel. it wasn't just is really a defenses. the managed to shoot, but actually all of those projects alls down it was also allies and for the united states and other western countries, but also jordan, this a neighboring country of israel, of course, and to georgia.
