a week after a failed plane crash killed more than thirty people. up next iran and through the eyes of israeli security if josh appear director of the military balance project a member of the institute for national security studies explores tel aviv's plans to rein in to iran's nuclear ambitions. with me i have if to hear the director of the military balance project at the institute for national security studies here in tel aviv thank you very much for joining us here in r.t. your work and when you sat down together a couple of weeks ago you said it was not in is also interest to launch a military strike on iran why do you think is also not striking around i don't think that is ready or force is large enough or strong enough to actually destroy the iranian nuclear weapon project that

might cost them some damage but it would not. destroy it so it could not achieve anything do you think that the u.s. would consider carburetor with israel in such a strike that quietly it first of all there's no quietly in this issue because things will tend to come out sooner or later so to begin with. on the one hand i think president obama has not ruled out an american strike yet even though his military is very reluctant to get into another war in the middle east i don't think you would do it during an election you can't that be a reason for it all to launch a strike now before there's a new american leadership in place there is a think there is a fear in the united states that that is what we are going to do with an israeli

attack mode. draw the united states into that war probably prematurely it would force the united states to get into war because an iranian counterattack. would almost undoubtedly be targeted against you know the faith of or against israel. so you know that it would be drawn this route course i think such an action without an american consent would cause agree damage to israeli relations strategic relations with the united states for an extended period of time do you think that the harsh sanctions we simply declared against iran i mean up to satisfy the israeli government not to launch a strike they might satisfy it for time being i think the general. attitude

in israel is that these sanctions are not enough and they're not going to convince iran even if they would be much for would not convince iran not. to continue not to pursue a nuclear weapon project how do you measure iran's capability to launch a counter attack iran has a couple of beauty of launching a missile attack on israel a direct attack on israel with few hundred missiles what would be the effect of missile sites and like what what is the accuracy of these missiles i don't know. i don't suppose we would be worse off than we have been in one nine hundred ninety one when we were under iraqi missile damage was caused no one actually got killed but. there's no guarantee that that is not going to want to happen and we had an old arrow which we didn't have then which

would be able to intercept. at least some power problems the fact. that and the greatest damage would be as in the case of the. katyusha rocket attack the economic damage to erode because under such attack everything comes to a standstill what about arab support for an israeli strike on iran you mentioned american involvement but surely it's also needs i would assistance in the form of landing rights and even feeling assistance many arab countries are very cautious of iran. for example saudi arabia has been urging the united states like iran for many years now they are terrified they really are terrified on the other hand assistant assistance to

israel is still out of. out of their agenda in the open israel would have to fly over country but and the it has done so before and it can be done without their consent or with. korver consent we could get assistance or landing rights from countries like i don't believe saudi arabia would do it but the united states my crew that. just remember that the distance from the united arab emirates to mold in iran is as far as from israel maybe even longer so. this kind of a landing rights would be helpful only in case of attacking targets three thousand iran another. covertly

a mike to be. might be but again it's problematic. might be given by a jail which is on the north side of the rain and border they have no good relations with israel trouble is that to get from israel to azerbaijan you have to overfly turkey and at the moment i don't see with the current relations between israel and turkey i don't see the giving and it's only aid if we look across the border with syria and why is serious so important for western nations could it be that it's the last obstacle before and invasion of iran that is tough for them why syria is important. is it important i mean the west and the state i don't see any western country in the intervening in

syria as they did in libya there is so much attention and focus on syria and particularly army president bashar assad's handling of the situation so how do you explain that where the that would be expected from the west it's much closer to europe and with traditional relations syria had traditional relations with countries like france. and when such atrocities take place them and they cannot stay quiet is there a connection between what is happening in syria and what is happening in iran where there is a connection or obvious connection because iraq is syria has been and the us federal dream has been iran's closest ally for over two decades i mean. this is. the main road out of iran into lebanon into into the whole region into influencing israel.

if us or through a dream falls apart. iran is standing to lose a very strong rally because any government would pick place who would it take the government in syria whether it be a western ally and democracy which is not very likely or all muslim muslim brothers who are sunnis of were very hostile to shoot iran. any region. would be either hostile to iran or far from corporate in with iran as a matter of the bashar al assad regime has been so iran is standing to lose and they did supply of weapons to the syrian opposition enough to upset the regional arms balance right now no great know what would i think saudi

arabia's told and started to supplying them with weapons but we are talking about like weapons so this as far as or as long as that is what is happening i don't think vision to change them in the balance of power in the middle east that they are still very weak is a possible that they can be simultaneous interventions in syria and iran doesn't seem likely i don't see the european european union or nato or going into syria and they don't see the european union or neutral. taking part in an attack against iran this could be nato could. try to draw the europeans into attacking targets in the run doesn't seem very likely if turks appear thank you very much for joining us here on r.t.

you're welcome. dear mom i'm sorry that i had to do this i've been in so much pain in the past year that i can't take it anymore the stomach and chest pains of me getting worse no doctor has been able to help me please know that i'll finally be at peace and with no more pain i wish i could have had a life with it was a bit always pictured her being my wife and mother to my kids i love you all see you all in heaven when your time comes i'm going to meet jesus christ. thousands of u.s. troops in iraq received one of these drugs a drug called lariam and it may have prevented many soldiers from getting sick the question tonight is whether or not soldiers were adequately warned about its rare
