well definitely this is the most serious incident like iran was mentioning between syria israel and iran over the past few years there have been dozens of air strikes carried out by israeli warplanes at the beginning they were targeting what they said were convoys of weapons destined for hezbollah the lebanese armed group which is allied to iran and as of late earlier this year they have been targeting what is believed to be iranian bases close to damascus one in one strike they hit a base which was still not operational so it was seen as a message to iran because israel has said time and time again we have red lines we will not allow iran to entrench itself militarily in syria we won't we want to allow iran to be along our borders and to strengthen its presence in syria in fact if we remember last year in the summer when russia and. united states announced the ceasefire agreement in the south of syria this was to appease israel because part of that deal was to keep iranian forces and their allies away from the border and at the time not on yahoo this radio prime minister was not happy a

and iran's allies in the region and they said all along that iran is what the syria has said that they will respond with an appropriate measure at an appropriate time and it seems now that they're backing up that rhetoric with firepower the same thank you well as we've been saying washington has backed is random blamed iran for the escalation my camera has more. well despite iran's denial that it was responsible for the drone incursion the state department appears to be convinced that iran is to blame for this round of combat that we've seen emerge over the course of this particular day a state department spokesperson has released a statement saying and i quote iran's calculated escalation of threat and its ambition to project power places the entire region at risk from she says yemen to lebanon once again from state department we also heard that israel has a right to defend itself a similar statement coming out of the pentagon which also stated very clearly that u.s. played no role whatsoever in israel's combat operations at targets within syria so from the u.s. what you are hearing s

but this common sense attempt to hold iran accountable has failed. i will be frank the wording in the british draft is liable to have dangerous destabilizing ramifications and this is not only a political to the situation in yemen but also to the region overall this will never to believe escalate regional tensions and lead to conflicts among key regional players the vote had been postponed for several hours as the u.k. tried but failed to reach a compromise with russia the acting british ambassador had earlier told me he wanted his resolution to reflect the findings of an independent panel on yemen but that report was not only critical of iran russia doesn't like the outcome of certain expert panel reports but because it's not like the messages doesn't mean it can undermine everything they say so we'll be urging our colleagues for the good of the united nations system to vote in favor of areas in which your text doesn't reflect everything in the panel of experts reports as a mention of u.s. torture camps as not the same mention of the bombardment by

out of the region iran can al-jazeera western muslims. so in basra view has more now on the reaction to the incident from the iranian capital tehran iran's foreign ministry said that the assertion that iran would fly a drone into israeli air space is a ridiculous lie but iranian leaders celebrated syria's retaliatory response to israeli airstrikes speaking to all jazeera the parliamentary spokesman on national security and foreign policy said that the downing of a fighter plane was just a taste of what is to come if israel continues its aggressive policies in. china this shooting down in confrontation has some important messages first to design this regime should know that the era of hit and run tactics is gone and regional powers including syria lebanon and hezbollah have enough capabilities to confront aggression and these capabilities belong to these countries the zionist regime should not associate these capabilities with iran or other countries they are saying that an iranian drone shot down the warplane or an iranian military force

squarely that iran is behind all of the aggression when it comes to. president bashar al assad's actions within syria they say that iran is the power behind the throne particular when it comes to the support of the lebanese group hezbollah so there is that side of this the happening right now this is very easy for the israelis to do that very well equipped to blame iran for anything that happens in syria what's of more concern to the israelis right now is how this f. sixteen was shot down by israeli story by syrian air defenses hasn't been a f. sixteen or a fighter jet that's been full and as a result of any census terms for a very long times as likely to be a big inquiry the syrians were likely to be celebrating this as a chink in the israeli air force all of these worries present pride themselves on the fact that they can patrol the air space over the arab world without much competition from anybody else so this is going to be a big inquiry as to how this was all shot down but it's now about the politics and the optics of all of this these raids are

roles given israel iran syria. well it's interesting speaking to defense analysts which i have been doing over the last few weeks trying to get a read on what israel's role israel's position towards syria is no one really says that they're going to go in they're going to send ground troops in syria against hezbollah targets the iranian backed force that are fighting the fighting against syria the rebels in syria and supporting president bashar assad but they have hit targets inside they know where they all so it really depends what the iranians and the syrians do next they've already fired off rockets into israeli territory setting off those alarms but it's likely that the iranians will accept a certain amount of attacks against their targets according to these defense analysts i've spoken to it's all about a proportional response right now from both sides however if things do escalate then it's really up to these radios to figure out what they want to do whether they go off the ball the targets completely within s

iran has not changed its position of hostility to israel. and so the response to avoid conflict is not to have a conflict but that takes tremendous forbearance and politically is quite difficult in particular i think for netanyahu given his own pressures domestically from the right wing of his coalition who will not take kindly to gentle response to a rainy in extension of its power and it's a military helicopter has been shot down in northern syria during an operation against kurdish fighters this video is said to show the helicopter the moments before it was hit for and killing two soldiers on board the kurdish led syrian democratic forces say its fight says shut down the aircraft but he says the cause is still unclear a total of eleven soldiers were killed in the fighting on saturday making it the deadliest day for the country's forces as they began the campaign in a fire in last month jamal sheil is in gas and he had close to the border with turkey and syria. the downing of this turkish manufactured attack helicopter that was killed thro

have been quick to blame iran for this incident so what's the view from tehran well since the syrian conflict began iran's position has always been that its forces are in syria at the behest of who they see as the legitimate government of the country president bashar al assad and they are there to support that government and they're saying runyan leaders are saying that the real narrative is that israel in fact encroached on syrian airspace has had it has done several times in the past and this time the syrian government response was something that iranian leaders said was long time coming and they certainly celebrated it we've heard bold rhetoric in the past bold and defiant rhetoric from both the iranian leadership as well as the syrians and they've said that they will respond at an appropriate time with an appropriate measure and it seems now that that bold rhetoric has been backed up by fire firepower one of the officials who spoke told a zero after the incident said that the downing of one fighter plane is only the beginning and if israel's aggressive activity continues that ira
