there are people who still think the middle east that iran has below the who sees that this is some prehistoric, almost a dis, this entered query, a group of people with spears who lives. and what i'm, that i'm sure is they don't understand that you're talking about really serious sizeable contingent. and the thing which scares me the most is when people have it in their heart, when they have a desire, when they have a kind of blood in there. so i to the mix metaphor, but from americans don't have that. we're saying, well, you know, we, we intellectually understand this, but you're talking about people who live in read this and, and i'm, i'm, i'm, the 1st full of war, sons do not withstanding is make sure you understand the capacity for commitment of anybody you're engaging because you're going to where they have their future, their family, their history, their pro, but not this. this is essentially a line or what you're saying is. anyway, we've talked about breaks in which out and i'm talking about changes in the middle east and elsewhere. so when the american, not empire, it collapses, the la

iran. you believe that the middle east has changed in a big way just from yesterday. why don't you lay that out for us, rachel. good morning. it's so wonderful to be with you. probably to iran's great dismay, we saw a tremendous historic change in the middle east yesterday. and not to the islamic republic of iran's benefit. what we saw was that despite the fact that iran has tried to create this ring of fire around israel with its proxies, hamas, hezbollah, the militias in syria and iraq, despite that ring of fire around israel, we saw a western led alliance that included arab states like jordan and the kingdom of saudi arabia participating in the interception of iran's assault on israel. so we are in historic times where we have both the west and muslim arab countries, sunni states standing with israel against iran and really isolating the islamic republic of iran. today that's so interesting because yesterday we saw donald trump at a rally in pennsylvania saying this would have never happened with me. but you're saying that we're also seeing the effects still of the

iran. that itself is a dynamic they are concerned about. so too is the fact that there are many other elements to this, many other pieces, the sort of jigsaw in the middle eastds and supports and provides with weapons, both in lebanon, in yemen, and then all of that adds to a very complicated picture, which means it difficult, unstable dynamic. there may be a signal from unstable dynamic. there may be a signalfrom one side unstable dynamic. there may be a signal from one side to the other then they will take a response, but does that contribute to a de—escalation or an escalation? everybody here wants to see things, you know, tensions reduced and no room for any miscalculation in reading any of those signals. damian grammaticas — reading any of those signals. damian grammaticas there. _ reading any of those signals. damian grammaticas there. we _ reading any of those signals. damian grammaticas there. we are - reading any of those signals. damian l grammaticas there. we are monitoring a news conference being given in capri. we have heard from the italian foreign minister and we are also expecting from the us secretary of state and we will be new but as soon

the german foreign minister on the bank book said today that the middle east was on the edge for the price. suppose that iran had almost pushed the region into chaos. let's listen in done. so you've, honestly, there's even how to the iranian regime has clearly led the entire middle east to the brink of the, of this, this up, or iran fired over $300.00 rockets, drones, and cruise missiles that israel last night because you can guess enough off east got you up to fly out, we condemn in the strongest possible terms, the direct iranian attack on the territory of israel. scott hughes. germany's phil solidarity extends to israel. fall is already down the page. large lots of stock wanting there from bad bulk, which is yeah, i mean, i think reflecting just base level of concern, which we've seen back to october 7th and the how most terrorist attack on the as well, that really sets off that this, this huge stage of instability in the middle east, that that's being this concern that that could be a major escalation. i'm particularly overall between this trial and iran. and this is the closest we've been to that. yes,

the situation in its totality, that what iran has been doing is a direct response to the normalization of relations with israel, with number of countries in the middle east that uh annoys iran intensely because they don't recognize israel as a state, so what is iran has been doing is funding and fueling terrorist groups like hamas, hezbollah, the houthis. to uh constantly attack israel, because what they want to do, particularly with october the 7th is to dismantle and destabilize any more normalization of arab countries with israel, particularly saudi arabia who are on the verge of doing it, which is why i think the utterly self-defeating firing of all these missiles the other day actually had the complete opposite effect, jordan race to defend israel and saudi offer their space and also uh help... defend them as well uh and when that happens it isolates iran, not israel, but anyway we're going to leave it there, professor, let me respond to that, let me respond to that, actually it's the opposite. "when the west continues to support the atrocities carried out by the israelis, when the west openly supports an ethno supremacist regime, and when the west

that middle east on high alert once again iran launches a major drone attack on israel. for the latest lisping and fox chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin. >> as of right now the pentagon is keeping quiet but watching very closely. i am told general brown the chairman of the joint chief in secretary austin are still at the white house meeting with the president. i am also told we have no confirmation as of right now any ballistic missiles or even cruise missiles have been fired at israel. we do know a wave of dozens, possibly 100 attack drones one way attack drones have been fired from my ron toward israel i've just gotten off the phone with a well-placed source in the middle east who tells me the noise over jordan right now is significant. suggesting the jordanian air force has been alerted. there is a lot of activity in the skies over jordan and they will shoot down any drones or missiles that fly over jordan airspace and violate jordan's js sovereignty. i'm also told by well-placed u.s. officials the idea that the u.s. will sit back and not help isr

iran, of course, warning that if israel does retaliate, iran would respond in an even greater fashion. let's look at the extreme during moments of the last 2a hours from our middle eastnt in lucy williamson. radio chatter. last night, for a few hours, israel lived in its skies — fighterjets battling waves of iranian drones and missiles fired at israeli targets. the middle east's most dangerous conflict, dropping its mask. from the ground, israel's air defences rose to meet threats by the dozen, a perilous display. watched from jerusalem. tel aviv. israel's defence minister called it one of the most dramatic nights israel had ever experienced. in iran, the launches were celebrated one after the other on national television. punishment, iran said, for the strike on its consulate in damascus two weeks ago. translation: there is no intention to continue this operation. - but if the zionist regime takes steps against the islamic republic on its soil or against areas linked to us in the region, our next operation will be far greater than this. the attacks were celebrated by iranians outside the british embassy, too, seeing them as punishment for the war in gaza and calling

middle east. a warning that iran may be planning to strike back inside israel soon, and growing concerns about the fate of the hostages. >>> but first -- [ chants ] >> arizona now the center of the abortion rights showdown as a shouting match erupts on the floor of the state legislature. >>> good morning, and good to be with you. i'm anne-marie green. arizona is reeling over what comes next after the state's high court ruled that an 1864 near-total ban on abortions can be enforced. doctors say the statute threatens women's lives and their livelihoods. meanwhile, both major presidential candidates spoke out against the ruling. cbs news' jarred hill is joining us from new york to talk all about this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. arizona's new stricter abortion law is proving to be a political challenge for national republicans in particular, trying not to alienate an anti-abortion rights base and more moderate voters who believe that this law goes too far. >> now you have people who are scared to do their job. >> reporter: doctors in arizona now in limbo. >> it's not just abo

iran, to woods all parties in the. busy in the middle east, and let's not forget that the us was, of course, always trying tour. and the last few weeks, specifically trying to really be open about their intelligence that they know iran is cooking something up and that everybody's expecting you, ron, to retaliate for the attack is rarely a tech on a general consulate in damascus. you, ronnie, john, comes on a damascus on april 1st. so i think the diplomacy, diplomatic pressure, a clear communication to iran, look we, we know what you did, we see what you did. we hear you, but now stay away from anything else. now this works both ways. i think also the us is trying to make really, really, really sure that israel understands that the us is not, is not keen on, is really actions which could escalate. this. what happens in this situation into a really great or regional conflict? now the us as says, it's appalled for israel is quote, iron clad, but bite and that is also set. it will not support. it will tell you, it's always strike on iran. how can you reconcile those 2 positions? so that's a very good question. that'

iran began to work very actively. over strengthening its influence in the middle east, and it is in principle, well, for many, iran's policy in the middle east is actually very similar to russia's, that is , the similarity is not only in the way in which this latest iranian attack was carried out, but also in its very foreign militarization politicians of this country, they are very similar. with russia, it is not for nothing that they, in fact, have already become allies, they act in a very similar way and learn from each other. after this iranian attack on israel, a number of experts spoke about the final formation of the so-called axis of evil, moscow, tehran, pyongyang, and beijing, and in view of such a rather restrained, or even policy of restraint on the part of the united states, that they warned that they do not encourage and will not assist him in carrying out appropriate strikes on iran, or it would be correct to say that in the west , taking into account the united states and the european union, there is no concrete strategy to contain this axis of evil, if it has already formed, well, it is probably too early to draw such dramatic conclusions, but it is obvious that... w

have noted that since 2009, you've had iranians of all stripes protesting, saying, not gaza, not lebanon, my life only for iran. fundamentally, you couldn't have a bigger gap in the middle east today than the state and the street in iran. and you see that in boom and bust cycles of protests, particularly those that were touched off after the killing of a 22 year old iranian woman named mahsa amini last year, leading to protests in over 150 different cities and towns and even villages. so these protests very much are the current ones, i should say. these demonstrations are state sponsored to try to keep the lid on that society, which has been pushing up against that state for quite some time now. and so this strike was trying to kind of signal resolve to audiences at home and abroad. the israelis very obviously, ben, have a very long list of targets. they can, hit in iran if they so choose to do so. the us knows very well what those targets will be, and they would range, obviously, from weapons depots to nuclear facilities to the headquarters of the islamic republic leadership, does israel go after any of those high profile targets? if it does decide on military retaliation,

nevertheless, they also understand all the danger that iran poses to the entire middle eastern region, and how, mr. volodymyr, china affects the middle east and... well, accordingly, including iran, considering that there is this conditional the axis of evil, or at least this axis that supports each other, is russia, iran, north korea, china, syria, and here we see that olaf scholz, the federal chancellor of germany, came there, this visit began, a three-day visit, then sydney. pin is going to europe, and he will be formally on anniversary, at the anniversary meeting with macron, because it is 60 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between china and france, then he will travel around europe to smaller countries, whether in this situation china's position can prevail and in some way overturn it. on the side of our western partners, the situation in the middle east as well, well, it is important enough for ukraine that even in the situation regarding the future global summit in switzerland, china should also play an important role, and this role would be for the benefit of the civilized world, that is, for the benefit of u

middle east. iran-backed hamas launched the massive unprovoked october 7 attack on israel that killed over 1,200 people. hezbollah has fired thousands of rockets, mortars and missiles into israel. iran-backed militias have launched over 170 attacks on american troops in the middle east and the iran-backed houthis have launched over 100 missile and drone attacks on global shipping. this is not just a threat to israel. this is a threat to the united states and to all of our partners in the middle east. and that is why this moment is such -- has such tremendous strategic importance. iran and its proxies are testing the resolve of israel, the united states and the international community. we absolutely must restore deterrence against iran. to protect our vital national security interests in the middle east. and that means standing shoulder to shoulder with our friend and ally, israel. we are stronger together. together this coalition literally shot missiles and drones out of the sky, protecting cities and citizens alike. some of my colleagues over the easter recess, my wife ronda and i traveled to israel,

actively pressured by washington, which believes that israel should not be drawn into a new confrontation in the middle east to begin a military campaign against iranults, beaten off. that enterprises will operate without any restrictions, and restrictions will not be imposed on public events involving a large number of people, we visited the international airport yesterday and... sergey, thank you for the situation in israel, our own correspondent in the region, sergey , is monitoring pashkov. meanwhile, iran said that the retaliation operation was completed, but if israel launched an air strike, then a new the iranian response will be much larger. our correspondent in the region, alexander belibov, is in direct contact with the studio. alexander, greetings, what information do you have up to this hour? yes, alexander, greetings, well , indeed, now here in the middle east everyone is waiting for a denouement, that denouement that should soon follow, i mean israel’s response to yesterday’s retaliatory strike from the islamic republic of iran. in iran itself, after yesterday’s attack, the population, of course, was in high spirits the day before. at

we need to look at the bigger problem in the middle east, and that is no doubt iran. and the only way to defeat wrong on the long term is through cementing of this moderate alliance is really needs to decide if it's moving, it's the know a and focus from the road from gauze ask currently into iran. what would that mean for the hosted is still less than garza for the goal of eradicating come us who is still quite active in gaza. and that's a very tough dilemma that israel is standing in front. and that's why we're seeing this. it's very hard for these really leadership know that now to reach a consensus, it's what it has in the last couple of years and made progress in peace agreements and, and making and friends in the region if you will just paying off now. well we see that yes, it is no doubt. i mean daniels have put the net as their neck on the line. not just for their reasons. they also want to send us the wrong. they've been seeing a lot of texts for me wrong. and so we've only proxies on the borders but, but there's no doubt that there's more than just israel wh

that goes back and forth without consequences, if you step it up the response will be stronger middle east response is responding to strength and israel obviously has the capability to drop a bomb on iran that would be changing the entire dynamic of the world we have a very tense spot and it will be interesting to see how all leaders not only in the middle east but here in washington responded to it tomorrow morning. >> and lastly i know you have to go but lastly bringing the proxies back in today's those who don't know hezbollah clearly is based in lebanon which is in the northern part of israel the border in the northern part they have been going back and forth since october 7th hezbollah has been firing into israel and vice versa so this has been going on at not a high scale but it has been going on which means there are units in place in lebanon and there are units in place in israel to keep going back and forth in the question now is the escalation from there because if this is a three sided war you are talking about hamas in the south hezbollah the north and iran you take out the mediterranean sea and you are surrounded. >> at which point the u.s. will have to step up and support

middle eastern studies center. glory to ukraine, mr. serhiy. glory. well? currently, we see that there is no third world war, particularly in the middle east. yes, after iran hit israel, israel responded, but responded, you can say, i won't say symmetrically, responded harshly and demonstrated some things by striking in such a way that the system did not work. against the missile or air defense of the state of iran, and accordingly we understand that this is a powerful signal, on the other hand, we understand that the so-called nuclear facilities of iran are located in rather powerful fortifications and rock structures. so, what is happening in the middle east now, how serious is the situation, is it possible that there will be some additional response from the state of israel? no, no additional response is expected at this time, this, well, half is over, so to speak, and now we await the next half, and moreover, there is now more and more evidence that israel, for example, after the first missile hit c -300 near the nuclear facility, near isfagan, the second missile, they launched a self-destruct in order, god forbid, not to cause more damage, and well, t

middle east. the united kingdom has lon- middle east. the united kingdom has long been_ middle east. the united kingdom has long been clear that iranalso bears responsibility for the actions of groups— responsibility for the actions of groups it — responsibility for the actions of groups it has supported militarily. financially— groups it has supported militarily. financially and politically over many — financially and politically over many years. through this attack, iran many years. through this attack, lran has— many years. through this attack, iran has once again demonstrated that it _ iran has once again demonstrated that it is _ iran has once again demonstrated that it is intend on sowing chaos in the region — that it is intend on sowing chaos in the region. find that it is intend on sowing chaos in the region-— the region. and that was the united kin . dom is the region. and that was the united kingdom is representative - the region. and that was the united kingdom is representative to - the region. and that was the united kingdom is representative to the i the region. and that was the united | kingdom is representative to th

that's not how business it's in the middle east works. and i think that we are in a watershed moment in middle eastern history. >> yeah, it certainly is iran has been very careful, i think to telegraph and including this latest statement that this was this retaliation for the israeli strike in damascus, but no doubt iran carrying out such a significant attack as we believe is unfolding right now. these are live pictures. it's unclear exactly what we're looking at, but you can see those streaks in the sky they look like shooting stars. they could quite easily be missiles, but i don't want to speculate too much. let's take a listen >> nic robertson, if you can hear me. nic robertson and jerusalem, what are you seeing? what are you hearing >> in dissents in the sky had third big detonation i'd see a lot of trace of iran rockets. i've seen at least a dozen rockets tracer fire intercepts, lighting up the sky here >> this is a familiar sight for you, nick, and for those of us who have been following this war it is neck. does this look the same as the iron dome intercepts that you've been seeing for the past few months, how different is this >> i

that it invites all the parties to avoid escalation. the political goal of g7 is de—escalation in the middle east. it also says that it has asked iraney have also talked about the situation in gaza as well, reiterating their commitment to a ceasefire and the return of the hostages there. and opposing a full—scale military operation in rafah. to stay with us here on bbc news. we will keep you updated with the very latest. hello. some drier weather is on the way for most parts of the uk this weekend, but it doesn't look as if it will be warm and sunny — there will be quite a bit of cloud around. and today's cloud is going to continue to bring a scattering of showers, with some sunshine in between. and it's still quite breezy out there. showers will continue to run in across parts of central and eastern england and also in the south, we're clearing away our morning weather front. for western areas the winds start to ease a little later, the winds are still brisk, and given that at this time of year the sea is at its coolest, it will feel quite bracing on the north sea coast. but 111—15 outside of the wind should feel pleasant, and we s

that? he sees israel as a centerpiece of the struggle against iran's influence and domination of the middle easty and econom an economt for mutual cooperation. that means the arabs still to this day want to form a coalition with israel to do if iran is the principal enemy in the middle east despite the war in gaza which is going on. it is not talked about publicly because they do not want to talk about it publicly. but that is really where they are and it's a great question you asked. mark: even jordan today, hamas with the backing of iran is trying to form a revolution there again. the king of jordan and his people are now very concerned about what hamas is doing underscoring your points if you understand this and you see this in the arab leaders understand this and so forth than what is it missing in the united states? is it because john mccain said antennae blanket is a dangerous man he is an ideological man who's going to get people hurt and americans killed? is it because they embrace this idea of a realignment in the middle east where iran sort of bounces out israel as other scholars have

israel will want to avoid a broader regional war that doesn't serve any country in the middle east. but also ensure that iran feel embold tonight attack israel from its own territory and they've never lawfnlged such an attack in the past and always relied on proxies across region including hamas and vallic and houthis in yemen to put pressure on israel so iranians have climbed the escalation ladder quite a few rungs but it is up to the israelis to decide what comes next. clearly, the iranians are trying to step off of the ledge here they have placed themselves on. they not only had their permanent representative to the u.n. release a statement overnight, saying that their attack against israel was over. this morning you saw top iranian officials signaling that both the united states and their neighbors in the region were actually given a heads up about this attack before it took place. an indication that the intelligence really did match in terms of what the americans and israelis thought iran was going to do and what they did overnight. but again the latest information we have this morning is israel war cab

so even today is a look at what's unfolding in the middle east, yes, iran is at the center of all the different things that all he was talking about. iran is at the center argument of the attacks in the red sea. those attacks couldn't be taken place. without a ring help and without iranian complicity. there that the center of the story of northern israel on the lebanon border because the hezbollah as a strategic asset. why do not see hezbollah firing all its missiles against israel? hezbollah is held in reserve, there to protect iran. iran is serving at the center of the story of iraq and syrian militias clashing with the united states. iran may also be the senate franco of the cost of storage i'm sure iran necessarily knew exactly when hamas would factor when we do but could hamas have acted without iranian help? i think most of us would say no. and if iran is accountable for that. and yet if you look at the international response, so little of it as had anything to do with iran. iran has arguably made significant strategic gains throughout this process, in fact, over seven. it has driven a wedge between

that we've seen in the intelligence and the u.s. of course -- forces across the middle east are on alert and the u.s. urging iran to reconsider and few sources that they're listening. >> neil: it's powerful when they say it's what you have to experience. i'm curious is israel saying hit against stolen by iran would be a calendar strike into iran. in other words is a set in stone? the strike going to get another strike? >> reporter: there are another warnings try to deter iran but i think it will depend what iran hits and whether any israelis are killed and whether civilians are killed, weather it's strikes for instance at the nuclear plant in dimona. that would be an escalation that would require a response and that is why it is such a dangerous moment. on the one hand they u.s. is trying to receive assurances from iran that this would be a limited strike or if it's a strike that it won't escalate and the u.s. is trying to make sure this doesn't spread and trying to deter iran from striking at all but the problem with the middle east that there's always unintended consequences and let's say one of those missiles

days with iran and israel, one simple statistic around that that can tell the full story what investors should expect is that 90% of iran oil production sold to china oil runs the middle east is a liquid gold of the middle east. if iran tensions get out of hand and a larger scale and war breaks out that cuts off oil supply to china the last thing china and iran want is for the oil to be cut off, therefore they are greatly incentivized to keep tensions low and try not to excavate the conflict, that's why markets recovered from thursday night into friday being that almost 2% intraday in the oil drop from $90 back down to 85. the likelihood of this specific retaliation going bigger is very low. maria: a complete reversal, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> luke joining us, safety concerns in the sky both american airlines and boeing making headlines as is you'll love this! centrum silver is clinically proven to support memory in older adults. so you can keep saying, you mastered it! you fixed it! you nailed it! you did it! with centrum silver, clinically proven to support memory in older adults. maria: welcome back trouble in the sky for airlines with safety concerns creatin

you are witnessing that despite the fact that iran has a policy of strategic patience , all its efforts have been to prevent the spread of tension in the middle east region, that is, the type of interactions that took place before this operation, in fact, the iranian military attack on the regime the zionist type of operation took place when we analyze diplomacy, we see that it supports this activity, i.e., the type of information that iran had regarding the neighboring countries, the type of positions that it actually had before, that finally, if the security council condemns, if in fact a ceasefire is established in gaza. discounts are made in the type of iran's operations. all this shows that iran does not want to destroy international standards and software as much as possible, it wants to pay attention to them, so this is a point that the international media the international community could not easily design iran's positions as zero and one hundred. iran has entered the gray area of ​​world public opinion. for example, it was the same in the palestine debate, that is, in many places it was thought that way. it was possible that when the oper

the foreign secretary david cameron has said tonight that iran "must not draw the middle east into a als for an attack that killed senior iranians in syria last week. the us presidentjoe biden says america's support for israel is "ironclad . from jerusalem, here's lucy williamson. the target was precise — a carefully calibrated strike. but the fallout from this attack may be much harder to control. iran's supreme leader has said israel must be punished for the strike on its damascus consulate that killed a top military general and six other people. israel has promised direct retaliation for any attack on its soil. it's worried enough to cancel leave for all combat units and call up its air—force reserves. translation: we have - established a simple principle. whoever harms us, we will harm them. we are prepared to meet all the security needs of the state of israel, both defensively and offensively. a warning for iran that's also being heard at home. we're always aware about something in the corner that maybe would come and surprise us, like in october. we've prepared a shelter, and a

i was reporting in baghdad at the time, and that felt like a huge moment in the middle east. iran targeting this base that housed american troops with ballistic missiles. the attack on israel last weekend included hundreds of missiles and drones, and many of them actually made it into israeli airspace. some were intercepted overhead. others landed on israeli soil. and so it was a significant attack that the middle east has not seen. and so the biden administration had a heavy task to try to rein in the israelis, to say, look, don't drag the middle east into a broader war and in a very uncomfortable truth about that relationship is that the biden administration has made very clear to prime minister netanyahu that u.s. support will be conditional and it will not just be conditional based on israel's actions inside gaza, but across the region, because the united states understands that they could get dragged into a broader war if one does erupt. >> and so there were certainly concessions made behind the scenes as it relates to the war in gaza. israel's main focus for the past nearly

i encourage china to use its influence to discourage iran at its proxies from discouraging the conflict in the middle east. is that going to affect iran's behavior? >> no. what we've seen is the influence china has exerted in the middle east is to make sure their own ships have free passage. the houthis are the terrorist group doing a lot of these attacks against civilian and military ships in the red sea. the houthis are allowing russian and -- attacking european and western ships. china has exuded influence in the middle east but only to protect their own infrastructure, their own ships. david: the redline business where china is setting the redlines when we have the redlines and they are not putting our redlines, it's not the way it should be. appreciate you coming in. there are reports that tiktok's owner, bike dance, would rather shut down the apps in the us rather than cell. keira frederick deals with that. while story and maryland, athletic directors accused of using ai generated audio to make it look like the school principal made racially charged comments. alexandria half has the full story. ♪ uuu, this l

actually what he was referring to exactly, and concluding there by saying that iran seeks escalation, posing a threat to the entire middle eastthe idea. i have been talking live on the programme to general lord richard dannatt, a former head of the british army. he gave me his reaction. well, the last two speakers summed up the situation pretty well. the iranians telegraphed what they were going to do, they were calibrated about the method of the attack, and it enabled israel and its allies, particularly the united states, and i think the united kingdom as well, to make sure the damage was limited. that said, we should take nothing away from the fact that, rather like the russian attack in ukraine in 2022, this was a sovereign state, iran, attacking another sovereign state, israel, and should condemn it absolutely roundly, and with the greatest degree of outrage. that is exactly what has come out of the g7 meeting, i think we can put on screen the first pictures of the call that was made with those leaders, the g7 unanimously condemning the iranian attack, calling on both sides to exercise restraint, no surprise in terms of t

of the things we learned, this is an organization that is based here in lebanon and it is one of several iran-backed groups throughout the middle easthots at israeli forces and american military installations and now with iran and israel engaged in a direct fight between each other and this whole region, waiting to see how israel responds hezbollah could very much be in the target line. they could be kind of, you know, the tip of the sphere for iran. they sit right on the border, way south from where i am with israel, but there has been continuous fighting separate from that iranian/israeli fight over that border. and hundreds of people have been killed, tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both the israeli and lebanese sides from the border because of that continuing fighting and i asked the deputy secretary-general in this very rare interview what he thought about israel's plans to attack and retaliate against iran's attack that missile salvo saturday night, which itself was retaliation for israel's, well, what is expected to be israel's strike against the diplomatic mission in damascus, israel has not confirmed or d

iran on saturday night. a spokesman for the iranian government insisted that tehran had shown "restraint", and that the strikes were a limited act of self—defence. 0ur middle easton has been to an israeli airfield that was hit by iran. this was the moment the middle east became more dangerous. 300 drones and missiles fired at israel from iran. the damage on the ground was limited. the damage to regional stability, much more severe. iran's attack came with careful signalling. its government warned israel's american ally of the strikes and said they were punishment for an assassination in syria, and that iran now considered the matter closed. translation: our advice - to all the supporters of the zionist regime is to appreciate iran's responsible and measured action, and dissuade the zionist regime from committing more wicked acts, which would bring incalculable consequences. israel says it will exact a price in return. its prime minister has been discussing with his war cabinet, and today with opposition leaders, exactly what that price should be. we thank our allies for their friendship, and we ask this very simple question — what would the reaction be in washi

so, for the sake of excuse me, i’ll now say the most important things, that what is important for iran is that in the middle eastthis is the post-soviet space for us, excuse me for being frank, yes, first of all, they are not just there either counteract then, they counteract around, creating a security zone in the south. for this is why these proxies were created, this is all a cheesecake and so on, this is why drones and missiles were created, the corresponding ones are aimed at bodily places, they now have a problem in the north that arises in the southern caucasus, believe me, they will also solve this issue with very similar topics so that we, too , are ready for this and will not look at anyone, someone will advise them on something, and so on, we have this post-soviet space, and now we must think about how to counteract this, yes, that means the congress of moldova. what to do with central asia, why isn’t there a scheme emerging to separate us in central asia by creating logistics through the south caucasus, bypassing us, how to counteract this? now there will be an exercise in july, which means on the sh

that these really governments beach deal with loss. as 134 people still remain cap tipping garza on the possible calm before the storm. as all lies, the rony brown and the middle east sunsets, iran won't, that it would, would solve the 8th a deadly. it's very striking when it's conflict in syria. the with 7 am in the morning k and the russian capital minus p to scott's. and here's how the world is looking us. something gets today, it marks half a year since israel declared its war on gaza. that is, of course, following the top of the 7th type, the dead soul surpassing 53000 people. since the starts of the idea of operation in the region, over half of the world health organizations mission request, i've been either denied or delayed, but the u. m. party, as finally gained access to the ruins of getting close logic tossed. organization shed this video of what remains about chief after months of idea of sieges on unbelief. bobbins, it's, it shows destroyed hostile rooms with bodies strewn across the robel. following the visits, the members of the un mission with the to the hospital as a quote and see show with great are and these satellites images, although c 5 volts, the scale of

the president of colombia also supported iran, saying that the crisis in the middle east erupted preciselyause of the united states, which supports quotes genocide by jerusalem. it was predictable. we are now on the verge of world war iii, while humanity must rebuild its economy to achieve the rapid goal of decarbonization. us support genocide practically set the world on fire. bagota expressed hope that the people of israel will be able to quote: stop the madness of their ruler. however, it was he who was supported by western politicians and a dozen countries, among them, in addition to the united states, italy, portugal, austria, the netherlands, france, great britain, poland, the czech republic, canada, argentina, whose president interrupted his foreign tour and convened a crisis headquarters, as well as germany. if everyone basically limited themselves to simple formulations in the spirit of “condemn iran,” chancellor scholz made whole statement. iran's airstrike on israeli territory this evening is irresponsible and cannot be justified. iran risks causing a regional fire. we stand fir

through weakness. >> it is no surprise that biden is doing more to constrain israel than he is to constrain iran. >> harris: president biden told our closest middle east ally that the u.s. would not take part in any counter strike or as the "new york post" puts it, you're on your own. peter doocy at the white house. >> harris, the biden iran policy is hard to understand. on the one hand you have officials saying biden's support for israel is unwavering but others telling us they will not support israel if they launch a counter strike against iran. >> it is hard to look at what president biden has done with respect to iran and say that he hasn't been tough on iran, that we haven't put pressure on them. that we haven't -- additional 500 sanctions, additional resources. >> president biden told netanyahu after missile defenses knocked down 99% of iran's incoming missiles to take the win according to a report in axios. that's really lacking in terms of support for israel in the eyes of republican critics on capitol hill who want the president to do more than just consult g7 allies about strong diplomatic openings. >> i want to stress this is happening beca
