. -- binyamin netanyahu 's cabinet. binyamin netanyahu will address the nation soon. donald trump spoke to mr netanyahu after the strikes but also gave the heads up shortly before the american bombers went into action and if there are reports that a small group of top israeli ministers were huddling together from 10pm local time last night, which was about five hours before the strikes were announced, until there was news that the strikes happen at 3am local time. there has also been a report on cbs news which is the us sent a message to be run saying the strikes were limited to the nuclear programme and washington was not seeking regime change. -- iran. will that be taken by tehran two tamba down the retaliation. the his huge fear about what happens next by tehran both towards israel but also the us, which has about 30,000 troops stationed permanently here with bases as well. the capability of iran has been severely weakened. israel has aerial superiority over the skies of tehran but as we have seen that we have not seen mrs strikes on israel overnight- but the night

but prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been clear about the aims of this war than i believe his aims have been about the war in gaza for the last 20 months, which i think is notable and not entirely surprising that binyamin netanyahu has had this mind of thing on his mind for decades. it is not surprising that he is clear about what would constitute a victory to israel's satisfaction, but it is too early to say how it will de-escalate. stay with us, because we want to bring people the latest on those missiles and our correspondent is in jerusalem. what can you tell us? that's right, there have been further strikes from iran towards israeli territory tonight. there was some in jerusalem and also some reported in other parts of country, including a direct hit on haifa, a northern coastal city, also an area where there is a strategic port. the reports are still early, but we have heard from the emergency services that they're at the scene and there are people who have been taken to hospital for smoke inhalation and panic. we have heard reports from the emergency services. also israel ha

case what's going on that, i think it's a personal hatred against lebanon, against lebanese by binyamin netanyahu, he's trying to prove himself again and again as a war criminal and he's continuing his his act, but the the main point is i think he has lack of information. i i think he is he has all target bank or gold goals bank and he's still continuing uh by his luck of information and security uh information he's trying to like randomly attack buildings just to to terrorize the lebanese civilian um absolutely mr hamy does it mean that the ceasefire is dead now i "i think the hazbullah and the resistance and also the libanese government and the president, they declared that they have fully restrained to from this attack by the israelis from retaliation or escalation, the israelis continuing, i think to to drag and to involve the united state inside act of war against lebanon. because we know what's going on around the world as we talk strategically what's going on in europe, what's going on in china, what's going on in the dialogue negotiation going on between iran and the us, that's why i said

binyamin netanyahu has called on iranians to rise up and topple the clerical regime. and there is not a shortage of opposition figures in waiting. including the exiled crown prince from the 1979 revolution. closely aligned with israel's administration, who sees an opportunity. the root cause of the problem has been the regime and its nature. the only solution ultimately that will benefit the iranian people as well as the free world is for this regime to no longer be there, i have been arguing from the beginning that the ultimate solution is regime change. now we have an opportunity. yet many iranians critical of the regime do not see israel as an ally. translation: i'm not a supporter of the iranian government, not at all. really i'm not. but in this situation, i feel a sense of unity among the people. we definitely won't back down against israel. whether friend or foe, israel has woken iranians up to the harsh reality of war. but the future of the clerical establishment has never been so uncertain. for the iranian people, things will get more difficult before and if

as you mentioned, binyamin netanyahu several time has talked directly to the people of iran, calling on them to be instigators in regime change. but actually this action on the part of israel, is that not causing iranians to hunker down and do the opposite to what the israeli prime minister is calling on them to do? it would certainly be encouraging the regime to hunker down and do the opposite. there's a lot of analysts who said if iran manages to maintain any kind of nuclear enrichment capability after this conflict, then it may encourage them to actively pursue a nuclear weapon. in terms of the civilian population, we know over the last five years there's been a number of protests in iran that have been quite brutally squashed. so it's not clear. but there's some elements of iranians that really do not support the current regime. now, whether they'll take this as an opportunity to challenge that regime, i think that's unclear. and we know from previous campaigns in the middle east that when you're trying to achieve regime change as your military outcome, that's not very easily ach

prime minister binyamin netanyahu, meanwhile, has confirmed that israel has armed a palestinian militia in gaza opposed to hamas. a large clan based in rafah claims to provide security for aid convoys, but has been accused of looting them. in response to allegations that he was putting weapons into the hands of criminal gangs, mr netanyahu said he was saving the lives of israeli soldiers. opposition politician golan said mr netanyahu was a threat to israel's security. sources in the bangladeshi government say india has illegally pushed over 1,000 people into their country. india hasn't responded directly to these allegations, but the governing bjp has long campaigned against illegal immigration from bangladesh, warning that offenders will be sent back. the bbc spoke to some of those who were forced into an area between the two countries. this report from the north-eastern indian state of assam. caught in no-man's-land between two countries. the 14 filmed here in bangladesh are among over 1,000 who were allegedly pushed in by india. stuck here for days without food or drinking water. 51-

this is something that the prime minister binyamin netanyahu said in his statement, that this operation, these attacks against iran could continue for days. again, you know, this is happening - the back ground to all of this is that the trump administration was engaged in negotiations with iran. a new round of talks was expected to happen on sunday. and for quite some time, israeli officials have been talking about a window of opportunity to attack iran, because last year, there were at least two major attacks carried out by israel on iran. iran's air defences were significantly downgraded, according to israeli authorities. and also, again, as prime minister netanyahu mentioned in that clip, a number of iranian proxies across the region have been weakened - particularly hezbollah in lebanon. there's always been the concern in israel that any kind of israeli action against iran targeting the country's nuclear facilities could spark or trigger a response from hezbollah in lebanon. so, you know, israel had been urging the international community, in particular the united states, to take ac

so what do you make of the fact that binyamin netanyahu says it's not a fight with iranians, but the regime itself? what you think about this? i really would like to know what your people think. a stranger country attacks your country. me, i'm a political activist. i cannot come back to the country because of my political activity. never maybe i can -- maybe never i can come back until democracy happens in this country but when a stranger attack like this happens, the whole situation of the community change. we get united. the whole system change. all our grass roots, real grass roots movements, that we made it... we put all our effort and we made it under that dictatorship regime, for make a real natural democracy in that country, go ahead, push in the background and we are, all of us, we just focus on what's happening for our country, so we have to tell to netanyahu that the democracy you want to bring for us, it's exactly to operate the -- uprise the most fund amountal side of the country, push back all the grass roots movement, and push back all the country, even me as a politica

. >> on the other hand, israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu thanked president trump over the weekend the decision and for can you it continuing to be aligned with the 2 countries? >> congratulations. president trump. your bold decision to target iran's nuclear facilities. with the awesome and righteous might of the united states. we've changed history. israelis don't truly amazing things. but in tonight's action against iran's nuclear facilities. america has been truly unsurpassed. it has done what no other country on earth could do. history will record. that president trump acted to deny the world's most dangerous regime. the world's most dangerous weapons. >> the prime minister also said the united states acted with a lot of strength. >> coming up on 7.27, still ahead. justice served 2 convicted felons behind bars in solano >> 7.29 right now and i went out this morning as i tend to sample it for all of you. nothing in the way was even that both myself. absolutely. john's got a look at forecast to john. yeah, it could have a little sample before we get the full course meal up today

binyamin netanyahu confirming the death of hammad kazimi, the head of the iranian intelligence unit. joining me now is steven simon, former us national security council official who served under presidents obama and clinton and now a proffessor at dartmouth college. where do you see the options as being for first iran and then for israel, because we have had calls for de-escalation, that doesn't seem to be happening now, where does each side have to go in terms of wiggle room really? well i think on the israeli side they have got a choice about their war room, because right now it is a little confused, at least judging from what they're doing as against what they're saying. they have two possible war aims, one is to disabled the nuclear programme, which they have started to do, the other is to trigger regime change in iran as the best way to ensure that a nuclear programme isn't restarted, at least one that can endanger israel. now the israelis are caught between these two war aims and are not sure which way they want to go. but the way in which the united states has gained this out

israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu is calling this attack rising lion saying the purpose was toear program. iran retaliated overnight launching more than 100 drones to israel, which according to israel, they intercepted those drones outside of israeli airspace. u.s. secretary of state marco rubio says the u.s. was not involved in the airstrike. president trump is expected to hold an emergency cabinet meeting this morning. the u.s. is also shifting some military resources to the middle east in response, the associated press reporting, in fact, that the department of defense is sending 2 warships to the middle east. we'll have more on this breaking and developing story with a report from washington coming up at the top of the hour. well, to human rights, speakers from the middle east were sent back to jordan after they were detained at sfo for more than 24 hours. we brought you this story right here on the kron. 4 morning news as breaking news yesterday. this was the scene that played out at sfo and their international terminal as people rally to call for the release of the 2 men
