- James O'Brien questions the intangible consequences of the Israel versus Iran conflict as Israel reportedly launches retaliatory strikes.
Iran's air defences were triggered early on Friday in response to reports of explosions near the city of Isfahan, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.
Explosions were heard just after 5am local time in the central province of Isfahan, Iranian state media has said.
Air defence intercepted three drones in the region, with no major damage sustained to buildings or facilities according to reports.
Tensions between the two states were raised following Israel’s air strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus on April 1 - a strike that killed 13 people, including two top Iranian generals.
In response, Iran fired around 300 miles and drones at Israel on Saturday, the majority of which were shot down by Israeli air defences.
A senior Iranian official has now said the country has no immediate plan for retaliation against Israel.
There has been no confirmation of the strike from Israel following reports of the explosions.

History will remember this. US vetoing against ,and on the other side talking of two state solution. Real hipocrisy and sickening.
Yep that was a real pos move by the us
the us will no longer be the primary power by then it'll be a Chinese translation
It has always done so, going back decades, and their rationale was it had to happen through a negotiated peace process, but of course, that only ever applied to the Palestinians. The US-pushed partition plan of 47 was supposed to create two states and an interstitial zone, albeit it gave most of the land to the Jewish minority, the bulk of whom were recent immigrants. It was a terrible plan on multiple levels, but it involved a two-state solution.
Since then the two-state solution has been purely rhetorical. The US has continued to support Israel no matter what it does with only minor scolding now and again.
American are alway supporting Israelis brutality against Palestine children
U.K. abstained! The country who illegally took away Palestinian land to give it to Zionists Europeans with no links to that place!
As an American, I hope to see my country independent from Israel one day.
Why hope ? We should pressure them . We are a weak people driven by our own material needs.
I hope to see the UK and Europe independent from the US
No chance mate AIPAC run the your country. Your government gets it's order's from Bibi. The American taxpayer funds Israel but the Israelis walk all over you it's embarrassing really.
@@TheWolfe83 I guess at the end, both in Europe and in the US, we are all under the ruling of the same group of people. The most pernicious part, is that western people believe that they live in democracies.
@@TheWolfe83 Yes.
Glaring hypocrisy of the west.
Iran has the right to defend itself
the Iranian people will defend Iran regardless of government, we might hate our government but we love our country and we love our people
And so does Israel.
@@keirmitchell5560Of course but if my American government were to not assist Israel, Israel would not do this again.
Maybe don't arm a bunch of proxies (Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthi's) to orchestrate attacks against Israel to begin with?
Israel too. Why use proxies to launch missiles to Israel before Israel acted terribly?
Don't blame Iran. They have done nothing except defend themselves. Has Iran ever invaded another country?
They're behind various terrorist groups. Sounds like you could benefit from understanding more about current affairs.
@@ne-ht4zxit depends on what your source is for current affairs 🤔
@@ne-ht4zx Depends who is deciding on the definition of terrorists. Usually it's the accusation is screamed by the West at a country fighting invasion or occupation.

@@calmingcrist4515I think it was the other way around
Israel has been aggressive toward it's neighbors at the same time as calling itself a victim.
Funny that.
When your neighbours are launching rockets into your territory almost every nation would respond in the same manner.
Israel is no different in their response, right or wrong.
@@Franki3683funny you made no mentioning of the oppression and killing of Palestinians as if, they are *not human being worthy of your concerns.
@@Franki3683 funny how you didn't mention the occupation and the ongoing theft of land
@@h2lo704 that's plain for all to see. Didn't think it needed mentioning. Calm down
They cry out in pain as they drone strike you.
Israel needs to be taught a lesson
And the only people who can do that is, the US and U.K. governments which prop it up. Which they have infiltrated and control….
We have a rogue state who is sponsored and enabled by the decision makers. All of us in the world are less safe because of Israel…. At what point do the US and U.K. people point this out to their governments in a meaningful way?
🤞
@@Occident. Israel and the Jews have been persecuted since Biblical times. Israel has every right to defend itself. The country was given back to the Jewish people in 1948, it's about time the Jewish people were left alone. If they had not responded to the Oct attacks from Hamas (and everyone seems to ignore this) goodness knows what else Hamas would have done.
What do you do to mad dogs out of control.
No, this escalation needs to stop.
Iran achievement was that they have now changed the equation. They have now shown that they can directly attack Israel from their own country which probably is why America has gone out of its way to say it has nothing to do with this escalation
If the US thought that Israel could win, there is no doubt that they would’ve invaded by now. This shows you that they’re terrified of Iran’s capability.
We always knew Iran could attack Israel from their own country, they just proved that they cannot do it very well lol, 99% of the attack failed..
They might attack America soon
Iran has proved it can launch over 300 missiles and drones and not even touch Israel. They have humiliated themselves militarily.
@@ne-ht4zx OF THEOSE 300 HOW MANY WERE INTERCEPTED BY ISRAEL?
this take that only Netanyahu is to blame in Israel is simply wrong... He's not the only problem in Israel, quite the opposite. It's a rouge state.

Indian foreign affairs minister represents extremists Hindutva or Hindu FANATICS party BJP.@@morasoussif4168
No we're not!
I don't like Iran at all but their achievement is twofold.
1. showing the double standards to the whole world how you can only act a certain way if you're 'with' certain countries
2. Showing the hypocrisy that emanates from the above point when those certain countries give pathetic so-called answers to questions posed to them.
It also showed the world that they are a major threat to Israel. Finally they changed the equation, or rules of engagement, to include massive attacks in retaliation by Iran.
One thing I understand now is, every single inch in Israel is now in Iran's crosshair. That is a terrifying thought for a maniac like Natanyahu
Si j'était un américain et j'aurais 2 énemi " *1/ israel 2/ Iran lequel ??????? j'attend vos réponses* "

*Palestine has a right to be defended* - even if by the likes of Iran!
Yes agree but remember Iran is backed by Russia....not Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has had years long war with Iran but conducted in the Yemen...just think a little more carefully
@@lisamills161if Russia were attacked they would have the right to defend themselves too. Same as Ukraine has the right to defend itself. Same as Palestine has the right to defen itself.
What does it matter who's backing whom? How about don't attack sovereign countries?n

It should be announced globally that Palestine has a right to utilise it's rights like every human having intestine, has the rights. 👍👍👍
He "just" left out the fact that Iran's strike was in retaliation after Israel bombed Iranian embassy in Syria and killed 2 high Iranian officials plus 5 people.
Western media only can remember certain things.
13 people unless ordinary people don't count.
He is owned the Zionists.
Iran are behind Hamas - this was Israel hitting back at Iran.
are you surprised?
Why did the UK abstain in the UN vote on recognising Palestine ?
Better question is ‘why is the USA voting, the two states solution it claims to be in support for’ ?
Because they where the ones who gave it away.
Supporting their US masters
@pamodoumWe know why the US is vetoing Palestine, my country has more Zionists then Israel and the politicians who aren't Zionists are bought and paid for by AIPAC. Same goes for our media.
However why won't the UK stand up to US is a legitimate question?anneh6134
The uk and us are the countries that have caused this unrest by giving lands to the zionists since 1900s.
Palestinians and israelis lived in peace up to the British empires claim of its lands.
Iran has the right to defend itself from Israel's aggression.
Well said
Israel - Always the victim
l'occident est habitué à dire oui
Actually they ARE!! Read your history books.

Israel should not have retaliated. I don’t think Iran acted childish, the complete opposite in fact.
Iran is the only player here adhering to international law. They have outclassed the US and UK in this case.
@@Titus9508 ohhh yes, yes indeed they have and we’re all super lucky they’re not what the west says they are.
Mr O'Brian didn't once mention that it was Israel that bombed the Iranian embassy provoking Iran with a possible WW3
💯
I had a mate like Israel once, always starting fights expecting me to jump in,fool as I was… but one time I didn’t, we BOTH learned from the event.
You don't have any mates.
@RichardSpain-lz9cf this is why I don't understand the UK public backing of Israel (maybe not all but alot), they're the occupying power and always in the wrong, the UK gets no benefit from them being an ally. People sit and wonder why the middle east and the alot of the world views the UK with hostility, you just have to look who the UKs best friends are (i.e the US and Isreal)

Completely avoids the attack on the Iranian embassy killing 14 or so people. This is why you're struggling to put this into context.
Iran’s main objective was to show Israel what would happen if they overstepped the mark again.
Why, what would happen? Iran is weaker even than Russia. They won't dare to escalate the conflict now.
@@ne-ht4zx The Iranians proved last weekend that they could strike any target in Israel and the missiles could get through any air defence.
The damage to the airbases in northern Israel and the security facility in the Golan Heights was not shown on western media outlets.
The Israelis and their allies lied, as usual, about the damage.
@@ne-ht4zx Wow, that's a naive comment.

Satanyahu, you won the internet, mate 😂
While Iran is a horrific country this attack has shown the Israel regime to be a terrorist organization.
Both are terroristic. The only difference now is that Iran launched an attack itself instead of through its proxies.
They have been shown to be a terrorist organisation for over 70 years. Both are.
what did they even target? and three drones only?
Iran is not a horrific COUNTRY. Iran HAS a HORRIFIC ruling régime. Come on Otto...😮
Iran is a horrific country```who told you that ?? cnn and fox news or your government ??
Again history begins with Israel's choosing. James talks about this current episode as Iran attacking Israel & Israel responding. Let's forget that Israel attacks Iran in Syria killing a number of people a couple of weeks ago.
Well said
It’s funny how you don’t call the BBC the mouthpiece of the UK Government when discussing matters.
Exactly. He tries to act all neutral, in real fact if u listen to him carefully he isn't at all, either he undercover supports israel etc OR afraid to call them out incase him and or the channel get cancelled. But he's a hypocrite which is their blatantly for the people to see. For the ones that can see that is.
That crossed my mind, but why limit it to the BBC? All british media could justifiably be described as 'government'
English brainwashing corporation..
Britain just means England the colony masters
I would agree but I would exclude a small number of independent media outlets.
The BBC is state sponsored British propaganda. Everyone knows this, but O'Brien would never admit to it.
😂😂😂😂What kind of face saving is that when Israel is too cowardly to even claim responsibility
Iran attack hit 3 air base and 1 Mossad base in the Golan Heights openly and directly. Israel retaliated by paying some Iranian Jews to launch 2 quadcopters, which were intercepted.
pathetic
Bro, I grew up in Iran and there are so many Jews living here. Iran didn't expel them like many European countries. They are our country men and every bit iranian as we are. To assume Iran has problem with every Jew and vise versa is just a western/zionist agenda which has been pushed by the media. it was Probably some mosad agents or infiltrator from iraq which they paid off.
This man is not an honest broker, he talks for a whole 10 minutes on the issue without one mention of Israel's initial attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus that kicked this all off.
👏
He did in a previous episode.
But for those not knowing about what had happened, they're gonna not know at all what's been going on.
How did you manage that into without mentioning the Israeli attack on the consulate?
"We have billions to spend on posturing and escalation while millions of people who have been left with almost nothing are starving and dying."
Sounds like all of human history.
Mostly european history. Almost all old empires and people were able to feed themselves and build a house.
Europe is known for famines because they were always at war.
Netanyahu needs to float to space and lose his helmet.
What has been achieved is the focus and finance have been shifted away from Ukraine.
👏
What did the Iraq war accomplish by the UK and US??? No weapons of mass descructions were ever found
Well Israel has consistently been attacking Iran without retaliation. Surely Iran can’t be expected keep doing nothing.
Why not? Iran is a brown Muslim country that isn’t a puppet state of the west. How dare Iran claim to have rights to defend itself.
It’s risky to be the first to throw rocks when your house is made of glass.
I know the answer, a insecure state that wants to remain top Dog 🐕 in the regional stage, bound to loose in the long term and they know that, that’s all folks !
Isreal has all the right to do anything they want. Others have no right to defend themselves even when their Embassy is attacked. Double standards and hypocrisy for all to see
our people are going to die, for the sake of a foreign country... insane
Ww1 and ww2 weren't british wars yet we sent millions to die fighting foreign wars and all theME ones since for the US and Israel.
America are about a billion dollars down. That's what's been achieved.
la prochaine envellope de 26 milliard de dollars pour israel c'est bon pour les ricains ils ont des machines planche à billets gratuite
What's not to understand, Israel once again committed another war crime by attacking an embassy.
Yet, you seem surprised Iran would retaliate.
Right on. Thank you. James was so disingenuous. He knows the truth but diplomatically skirted around it.
"When a child is given toys regardless of their bad behavior, their behavior will eventually get worse as there is no reason for them to change. This is a prime example of Israel, as America will always support, protect, and provide weapons to them regardless of what they do."
He wants Iran to escalate first- to give him green light to use nukes.
That's spot on !
Uk probably abstained, running away weak as usual 😅
i care neither for Iran nor Israel but for the sake of not diverting attentiion from Gaza, Iran should not retaliate. This is exactly what Netanyahu wants. Gaslight the dire situation in Gaza, gain sympathy as the victim of "antisemitism" from Western nations and march on with the horrific Rafah Invasion that has just been greenlit by the US. The focus should be on Gaza now and let Israel be isolated further throughout the whole world
Then Israel will continue attacking Iran again and again. Then what?
@@xxxyzyz If Israel attacks for the second time now, then Iran will have the global support. Even some EU countries will be forced to admit it. This war in Gaza is not going well for Israel and they want to distract the world with so-called "Iranian Aggression". israel cannot play the victim with the second consecutive strike on Iranian Soil
Yeah they shouldn't.
But here's the thing, if they don't...
They'll seem like the bigger people than the Israelis..
Israel will be worse than Iran in how it handled this.
So, 1st world country?
Pfffff more like a 3rd world rogue state who's been given weapons by Uncle Sam.
So that's not likely gonna happen, Iran will retaliate.
The US is saying not to go into Rafah still. Iran has the right to defence they should not have to take attacks because you don't want attention shared 😳d
Having spoken to three family members of Isfahan this morning they all seem somewhat unphased by what has supposedly happened. One says she slept through whatever it was. Another said the dogs did not make any noise which they would have expected and the last said that he was going on a demo today in support of Gaza but was not sure if the theme may change.
Apparently children near the Nash-e Johan Square were playing with paper aeroplanes mimicking Israelis.
As the mother of one said to me (89 on Sunday!) we were here before them and will be when they go.
Who condemned Iran since last Friday? And who stands alone in UNSC protecting Israel?
The achievements are plain in sight I would argue…..
Why does Israel need protecting in the UNSC? Really, it's everyone else in the region who need protecting from Israel.
USA now stands alone with Israel even NATO allies won’t back them now when they turn and they will Israel will be history
Be thankful for strange mercies. The loser is the US, Netanyahu's faithful janitor.
Worse yet, we(here in the US) have far too many religious zealots who want a war. They believe it'll bring about their little utopia. Even if it were true, they don't get to use other people's lives for their gain.
Iran is doing what the Arab states are not doing! May allah swt protect and bless Iran, signed by an Amazigh from North Africa.
Hey, Iran and Israel, grow up, the pair of you!
shut up !!
This is not a both side thing
It is absurd if - like James - you don't understand geopolitics and dismiss the Iranian regime as a bunch of 'headbangers'. This was about the USA NOT wanting a war in the Middle East because Ukraine is much more important to them and because we have an election year in the USA. Neither to the Iranians want a conflict - BUT Netanyahu DOES. The USA has given him a Green Flag to ATTACK RAFAH in exchange for not widening the war - EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED. James ought to begin to realise this: WE IN THE WEST ARE THE PROBLEM.
😂😂😂😂😂 ukraine is only US interst since 2014 Israels been US interwst from day one, ita their cobtrol of ME and resources. Give your head a wobble. Why else would US ignore sinking of USS LIBERTY deliberately by Israelis. 🤦♀️
The USA are saying don't go into Rafah
Sorry to say majority of callers advocating for Netanyahu end up looking like foolish and ignorant.
Iran achieved their goals - strain the US-Israel relations by costing the Iron Dome defence system $2B in a time when more Americans are questioning why so much US money is going to Israels defence and all it cost Iran was a few $100k
Iran have shown themselves to be the strongest in that region and Israel now know they can get hit anywhere in israel
James sitting on the fence as usual
Unbearable refusal to see the truth.
James you don't talk about the first attack on by Israel on Iran killing several people. You don't talk about what happened prior to Oct 7 and you don't talk about the nakba but like to refer to the holocaust. Double standards
James is scared of being described as 'antisemitic' as a lot of British people are. Why they allow 250,000 bellicose people out of 67 million to terrorise the truth is beyond the comprehension of many observers abroad. Fairness reaches a point where it becomes crass stupidity. Outside UK goldfish bowl there's less navel gazing and the reality isn't obfuscated by jaw-jaw ad nauseam by politicians and journalists whereby the meaning gets lost. It's a true British trait and extremely irritating.
Iran has shown such strategic patience and now has totally rebalanced the Middle East. It was a shocking change of circumstances for the settler colony of Israel. Second passports have never been so readily available for the overly entitled European emigres.
two madmen in a cellar full of petrol both with a box of matches, trying to get the other one to strike a match fist
Iran never said that damage was minimum. there was 2 or 3 quadcopter that were intercepted and they releasd the footage .
What kind of face saving is that when Israel is too cowardly to even claim responsibility
If you were kept in a prison and then condemned for using violence against mainly military targets and your jailors would you not do it James? I think I would!
Iran has been under sanctions for years and was probably irritated at the international response to Israel's stike on their diplomatic mission. Their strike was as much an economiconeas much as a military one. It cost zero lives but $1bn+ and that is a high cost no matter how you look at it. It probably cost Iran only tens of millions at the most.
How can the USA state they want a 2 state solution... but then veto the UN vote on recognising the Palestinian state?
Hypocrisy is shouting
They lied
US wants 'my way or highway'
My thoughts exactly James! "What on earth is going on?"
Ask israel
Face saving?! Does that disappoint u guys? Does your british hunger for destroying lives never lesson ?
Iran has shown its to be far more classier than Israel its allies. Their embassy was destroyed and 7 people killed. In response they showed Israel that they could respond and had that right, but avoided killing anyone.
The US has never forgiven Iran for nationalising its own oil, from American companies.
To be honest that trivialises it. Israel is the only nuclear state in the region, there is no symmetry, no mutually assured destruction. It has been trying to get the US involved in war against Iran for years. It recently struck an Iranian consulate in contravention of international law. People did die in that first attack. So no, cute names for it are not especially appropriate.
Iran basically had to walk a fine line here. It's goal was to be able to say A) We've shown our capabilities (even if no real damage was done), B) We won't tolerate attacks on us, C) We don't want escalation with a nuclear power that genuinely might decide to use them with no real fear of consequences.
Israel's retaliation against the retaliation was more in the emotional category, but Iran basically had no choice. Otherwise it would be sending the signal that when Israel attacks it, as Israel has done before this, it would just do nothing and let it happen.
I would certainly ask whether your attitude if you were in Iran's place would be any different. There are after all two alternatives. You could do nothing after a number of your people were killed on your own de jure soil, or you could try to deal real damage and risk escalation. Which path would you choose?
Exactly, I searched 'natanyahu UN' and found some 11 years ago clip with him saying 'how dangerous Iran is'. Middle East is NOT the problem, ISISrael is.
All of this over imaginary people in the sky.
It's over land and colonialism
Israel started it so iran has the righy to defend itself. If it was a UK consulate what do you think we would do
No tangible impact yet, but the longer this continues with retaliations on retaliations on retaliations ... something will go terribly wrong and then What?!
VIVA IRAN.🇮🇷
No eyes for no eyes. No teeth for no teeth. 😮 33 eyes for one eye in Gaza (plus the injured 🤕 and amputees🦵 and the PTSDs on both sides). 🤔☮️❤
Please no more war
I wonder who’s making all the money on weapons 🤔
Get it off your chest Mr Meldrew. You will sleep better tonight!
the scale of Iran's attack on Israel was unprecedented and unexpected. No other country has attacked isreal on such a scale in decades. The Isreali detterence is gone despite being a nuclear state.
Thank you for your excellent service,your support and your compassion you are the best ❤🩷😅we appreciate your support for the Palestinian people ❤❤the African community.
It is called posturing and saving face
Please don’t start to defend this….
The definition of statehood for UN council -
The accepted criteria of statehood were laid down in the Montevideo Convention (1933), which provided that a state must possess a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to conduct international relations.
It’s a huge distraction from the moral loss and hopeless ‘situation’ in Gaza
Iran gave warning where was isreali warning
Spot On
Why are you not speaking about the original attack on Iranian area in Syria killing seven Iranian citizens including two top brass. If the same thing had been done to a European area or godforbid Israeli area, we would be looking down the muzzle of WWIII. So please include this episode before your mention of Iran attack on Israeli areas.
Question is wrong.what has Palestinians achieved out of this theatre.
INSANE BOTH COUNTRIES
Israel attacked without warning (13 casualties), Iran responded after giving numerous warnings and details of incoming attack (no casualties), Israel attacked again (unknown number of casualties) .. its not really a "both parties are equally guilty" situation. To me at least, it's clear enough who's stoking tensions and who isn't.
IAEA said no facility was damaged and the missiles were destroyed in the air.
Israel attacked Iran numerous times until Iran retaliated with a strike of over 300 missiles. Iran achieved their objectives by now knowing the locations of their countermeasures. Iran also bled everyone financially because it cost Israel and her allies over a billion dollars to stop most of the missiles launched which only cost Iran 10’s of millions dollars in comparison. Iran notified the US in advance of launching missiles so that they could start the expensive task of stopping the missiles which were only launched to attack military airbases as opposed to Israel attacking civilian locations.
Really Israel? 3 pizza delivery drones? That's it? We just watched Iran give you a drubbing, cleaned your clock wiped the floor with you. Pizza delivery mini drones??
James, why on earth do you put an r in the middle of Kafkaesque?
It’s a question that can only be answered when you include all the details without bias.
The Israeli government is testing its boundaries both regionally and internationally this at a time when no nation is showing an appetite for war and testing its degree of opposition and support.
What’s changed is that the ground has shifted from shouting at each to a new status quo where actual attacks is now the norm
This reminds me of an argument with a woman israel always has to have the last word.
Creosote UK didn't get a mention
I listened to this show, and Mr O'Brien needs to look at himself in the mirror on two counts. Firstly, he made no mention whatsoever of Israels' attack on the Iranian Consulate in Damascus. The world needs to look at Iran and judge the country by the metric of how we viewed Irac in 2003, and we all know how wrong we were on that occasion. I speak as somebody who worked in the Middle East and has also been to the West Bank on several occasions.
🤔Indigenous people don’t even have rights in their own land and a right self determination. Where have we heard that before?
President Biden has stated on many occasions that the only way to end this conflict is to recognize Gaza’s statehood.
Released the pressure valve in the region for a short time
James, you're bang on as usual.
You forgot the attack on the Iranian consulate. You just started the timeline on the attack of Iran on Israel…
It's very much getting the last word. "Politics of the playground" is spot on.
