so we were left with no choice but to respond to the i'm. if israel decides to retaliate, then it will face harsher reactions. you slow me fish. poly bundles in the occupied westbank. a funeral has been held for the only person killed in a ron smith, silas salt, a palestinian man, hit 5 parts of a row pit that fell from the sky in the city of jericho. carol fire stein is director of the middle east institute or radian peninsula affairs program, which you joined after a 4 decade long career in the u. s. foreign service. welcome to dw and foster, and i want to begin by showing you and our viewers what former is ready prime minister, enough tale, bennett, posted on x. he writes, we must act now to destroy iran's nuclear program. it's central energy facilities.

and to faithfully cripple this terrorist regime, not do you think the current is really government would agree to this as well? i can't speak for the as really government, but i can say that the us government is very clearly opposed to anything like uh what mr. bennett has suggested and president by and has said very clearly that the was, has no interest in supporting an intro here attack on iranian nuclear facilities. and israel really does not have the capacity with the capability to attack us facilities without us support. i just want to take you up on what you said there about at the us, because president biden says as a, as you've mentioned, is against an attack on iran's at new care program and instead demands a, quote,

proportionate is really response. what might that look like? well i think that what we're looking at is something along the same lines as we saw in april the last time israel and iran exchanged fire like this, where the both sides are clearly took steps. although they felt the need to respond symbolically. they took steps to de escalate, to reduce tensions. these iranians have already said that depending on how israel responds, they are finished with their response. and if the as realities also take a more moderate approach, the likelihood is that is that we won't see anything more. uh, between israel and iran for the time, the. alright, but what about if there, we'll say there isn't, is riley attack on around new care facilities. what do you think could be the

immediate consequences of that as well? i think that, uh, in that circumstance the iranians would feel compelled to, uh, to of their response and to take more dramatic measures. and they've taken so far, uh and uh, you know, whether that would be by themselves or with a poor nation with his, by law or other allies partners of the ronnie is, would be the big question right now. going back to the united states and the us has, as we know many sanctions against iran and would more sanctions on around really have a great effect at all be considering the amount that are already in place. no, i think that's a very good question and it's, it's really hard to see that the, that the sanctions,

the regimes with the wrong have i pretty much rather course i don't know that there's going to be much more that would that would further tighten the grip on iran to economy and its energy exports on other things. and so i don't see, i mean there may be some uh, additional sanctions against individuals. but uh, but probably nothing terribly meaningful. now with your decades of experience as a us diplomat in the middle east, do you have the impression that the influence of the united states on decision making in the region has waned significantly as well? i think that there are a number of different factors that go into this question about us info inside. there's no doubt that as these governments of the region have mature,

it become more self confident. if you're talking about saudi arabia or the u, i. e, in particular, or they have taken more independent steps to pursue what they consider to be their best interest. and sometimes that means that they have not followed the lead from, from washington. when you have a situation where we have now with the israel is we're vigilant at yahoo for reasons right or wrong believes that he is pursuing a course that is uh, that's essential for, for israel, that absolutely goes to the very heart of his really security. he is going to pursue that course and, and really the, there's always a limitation on how much of foreign government can influence those decisions. so, and so we're seeing a complicated set of circumstances right now where,

where governments feel like they need to do what they're doing in order to pursue their own interest. and they will listen to us. but if the us doesn't offer them something that is meaningful for that, and they'll go their own way. all right, well, leave it there, gerald fire stein with the middle east institute. thanks for joining us on the don't even use always a pleasure of israel has reported its 1st combat deaths during its incursion into southern 11 on he's ready, army and einst. 8 soldiers were killed in classes with his ball as a tries to stop cross border attacks by the american group. israel says it's and i have to pulling regular infantry and armored units across the border. it's also being carrying a fresh air strikes in southern lebanon and elsewhere, including the capital, a route that lebanese health ministry says at least $46.00 people were killed on wednesday. speedo, who is my, how much right it was. and they were the southern,
