00:30In his first public appearance since the launch of Operation Epic Fury,
00:34President Donald Trump said the U.S. is meeting its objectives ahead of schedule.
00:39But he warned the war could go on for far longer than thought.
00:43Last night, Israeli strikes pounded Tehran,
00:46hitting residential buildings, hospitals and police stations
00:49in attacks that seemed designed to cause maximum damage.
00:52In retaliation, Iran has been launching air attacks on countries across the region,
00:56including strikes on Qatari and Saudi energy facilities.
01:00Meanwhile, here in Brussels, EU efforts focus on supporting
01:04and repatriating EU citizens caught up in the Middle East
01:07and reducing the risk of transport disruption around the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
01:12For more on the ongoing situation, which is looking like a dangerous circle of violence,
01:16I'm joined here in the studio by Maria Tadeo.
01:18That's our EU News Editor.
01:20So what's the latest for us, Maria?
01:21Well, yes, Maeve, it's day four, and it seems to be a fire and fury that continues.
01:27This is certainly a war that is being both in intensity and the scale continues to get bigger.
01:36Of course, if you thought that this was going to be a quick operation,
01:38by now manifestly it is clear it is not.
01:41If you look at the latest information, as you say,
01:43the Israelis now confirmed that there were fresh strikes on Tehran,
01:47but also in Beirut.
01:49In Lebanon, the IDF forces are saying, and this is in a statement,
01:54that they are conducting simultaneous operations in both Tehran and Beirut.
01:59But also when you look at the U.S., a warning from President Trump yesterday
02:02saying that depending now on the moves from Iran,
02:06the biggest hit perhaps is yet to come.
02:10The other important thing is the timeline, of course,
02:12not just for the U.S. and Israel who are leading this operation,
02:16but also the Gov, who are now bearing a lot of the retaliation from Iran,
02:21the U.S. intending now, they say, a war, an operation that could last four to five weeks.
02:26But, of course, the question is whether that is really going to be the case
02:29or ultimately is this becoming a never-ending war?
02:32Yesterday, pushback from the U.S. administration and Israeli
02:34that they will not enter an endless war.
02:37And meanwhile, of course, the Commission held emergency security talks.
02:40They discussed a number of issues, the repatriation of youth citizens,
02:43energy, a potential spike in migration flows.
02:45Yeah, absolutely.
02:46And this is a war not without consequences on the EU.
02:49The question, of course, is what role can the Europeans play already?
02:52When you look at countries like France, Germany, the U.K.,
02:55they did say they will protect interests
02:57and a lot of their own alliances in the Gulf to protect themselves.
03:00But also, Maeve, the energy market,
03:03yesterday there was a massive spike because of a facility hit of LNG in Qatar
03:08that can have big ramifications on energy prices.
03:11and a single-day prices up 50%.
03:13That effort to repatriate European citizens continue.
03:16But we know that the situation has been shambolic,
03:19certainly across the Gulf.
03:21And you pointed to migration.
03:23What we understand is that yesterday,
03:24the Migration Commissioner had a meeting with his Turkish counterpart.
03:28Okay, Maria Tiseo, Euronews' EU editor.
03:31Thank you so much for all those details, as always.
03:33And as you heard there, there was concern, in fact,
03:35that the war was edging closer to the European Union,
03:37with Greece announcing it would send warships and fighter jets
03:41to defend Cyprus, which is home, of course,
03:43to two British military bases.
03:45For more, we can cross now to Greece
03:47and bring in Euronews correspondent,
03:49Ioannis Kighinis, who's standing by for us.
03:51Good morning, Ioannis.
03:53Just tell us, what is the mood there in Greece this morning
03:55with the government sending frigates to help defend Cyprus?
03:58Are people actually preparing for a war?
04:02No, no, absolutely not.
04:05The war is far away.
04:06And, you know, we know that we have 13 countries
04:11that have been involved already,
04:12and maybe the last of one seems to be Cyprus.
04:15But now it's clear that it was Cyprus that was targeted yesterday.
04:19It was the British bases in Cyprus.
04:22And to be honest, we are now sure that even now
04:27they don't believe that they will continue
04:31because it's clear from the Prime Minister,
04:33Keir Starmer, from the UK,
04:35that no Americans have been involved
04:37in what's going on in Cyprus
04:40and the British bases there.
04:42But the Greek government has sent frigates
04:44and also has sent four F-16 aircraft
04:47in order to guarantee the safety of Cyprus.
04:51So there is a strong relation between Cyprus and Greece.
04:56Greece is one of the country
04:57that guarantees the safety of Cyprus.
05:00But if you talk with people in Athens,
05:02but also in Nicosia,
05:03you will understand that they are not afraid
05:06of a straight involvement in this world.
05:09They are more afraid about the cost of life,
05:12the consequences of the war,
05:14the ongoing war.
05:14gas and oil is already rising in Greece.
05:20And apart from that,
05:22many people believe that we have the same
05:24with other products,
05:25maybe even with food supplies.
05:27At the same time,
05:29we have the tourists,
05:31who many people believe
05:32that will not be at the same amount
05:35as it was last year
05:37in Greece and in Cyprus
05:39and in this Mediterranean.
05:40And as you said before,
05:42we are expecting maybe a migrant crisis.
05:44So we have to handle this
05:46from the Greek government
05:48because there are many refugees there.
05:51Okay, Oenis,
05:52thank you so much
05:52for that live update there from Athens.
05:55Well, now, moving on,
05:56President Trump has said for now
05:57he is not ruling out
05:58sending troops on the ground,
05:59but not everyone agrees with this.
06:01For the view from the former CIA boss
06:03and the lead general
06:04who oversaw U.S. troops in Iraq,
06:06Oenis' Mered Gwynne-Jones
06:08spoke to General David Petraeus.
06:09She started by asking him
06:10if he expected a Venezuela scenario in Iran.
06:14I think the answer to that is yes.
06:16And I think that it is possible.
06:18It's conceivable.
06:19I don't know that it is
06:21the most likely outcome.
06:22So again,
06:23I think we have to be cautious
06:24about our hopes
06:26that a pragmatic figure could emerge.
06:28It's by no means impossible.
06:29Kareem Saadjapur,
06:30the great Iranian analyst
06:32here in the United States
06:33has noted that
06:34it used to be that
06:35the regime was comprised
06:37of 80% true believers,
06:40true ideologues,
06:41hardliners,
06:42and 20% charlatans,
06:45they're called.
06:45They're just basically opportunists
06:47trying to get what they can
06:48by being part of the regime.
06:50But now it's 20% hardliners
06:53and 80% charlatans.
06:55So the possibility is there,
06:57certainly,
06:58that someone could emerge
06:59who might say,
07:00look, Mr. President,
07:01you're right.
07:03What the nuclear program
07:04and the arming of proxies
07:06and our killing of Americans
07:08and Arabs and Israelis
07:10has brought us is ruin.
07:12And we see the error of our ways
07:15and we want to sail straight.
07:16We want to get along
07:17with our neighbors
07:18and those in the region
07:20and with you.
07:22And we're willing to give up
07:23our aspirations
07:24in all these cases.
07:26That would obviously be
07:27a very dramatic departure.
07:29Do you think that this
07:30could extend
07:31into a prolonged war?
07:34We saw the war secretary,
07:36Pete Hegseth,
07:37today refusing to rule out
07:38potentially troops
07:40on the ground.
07:41Do you think that this
07:42could evolve
07:42into something
07:43more dangerous,
07:45more spiraling
07:46than the U.S.
07:47maybe originally intended?
07:49No,
07:49I think the president
07:50and the secretary
07:51and others
07:51have been very clear
07:52that we're not going
07:53to put boots on the ground.
07:55And frankly,
07:55I think that as the days
07:57go by while noting
07:58that there is still
07:59a very real possibility
08:00of additional casualties,
08:03again,
08:04those in host nations,
08:05those in Israel,
08:06those of American forces
08:07and others,
08:09that over time
08:10there will be a degradation
08:11of the ability
08:12of Iran to retaliate,
08:14will continue
08:16to reduce
08:17their missile stocks,
08:19their launchers,
08:20the short-range missiles,
08:21and even the drones.
08:23So I think
08:24they will be
08:25hard-pressed
08:26to maintain
08:27even remotely
08:28what the pace
08:29has been
08:30by Iran so far.
08:31We are seeing,
08:33General,
08:33also European nations
08:36talking about
08:36potentially supporting
08:37the defensive capacities
08:39of the U.S.,
08:41including the U.K.
08:42Do you think
08:43President Trump
08:44is expecting
08:45the support
08:45of its European allies
08:47here and is counting
08:48on them
08:49to support
08:50this operation
08:50in some way?
08:52I think the plan
08:53that was conceived
08:54was essentially
08:55the U.S. and Israel
08:57and then the host nations
08:58in the region
08:59whose air and ballistic
09:01missile defenses
09:02are always integrated
09:03into those of the U.S. and Israel.
09:06I don't think
09:07there was an assumption
09:08made that the Europeans
09:09would join in.
09:10It would have been
09:10good if they had,
09:12at least for defensive purposes
09:14from the very beginning,
09:16because it's very clear,
09:17it should have been clear
09:17at the outset
09:19that Iran
09:20is not going to limit
09:21its targets
09:22to just U.S. bases,
09:25Israel, and so forth.
09:26It's going after
09:27civilian targets,
09:28airfields,
09:29ports, and so forth
09:30in the Gulf states
09:32and beyond
09:33and reaching
09:33as far as Cyprus,
09:35as you noted.
09:37So I think
09:37from a purely
09:38defensive standpoint,
09:39that would have been
09:40wise from the beginning.
09:42The question now
09:43is whether or not
09:44they go on the offensive
09:45and start contributing
09:46to taking down
09:48the retaliatory
09:49capabilities
09:50of the U.S.
09:51and Israel.
09:52Finally,
09:53General,
09:53is that something
09:54that you can foresee
09:55happening,
09:56European nations
09:56joining in a more
09:57offensive capacity?
10:00My understanding
10:00is that that
10:01has been discussed.
10:02I don't know
10:03that I'd predict
10:04what the outcome
10:05would be,
10:05but the fact
10:06that it's just
10:07being discussed
10:07I think indicates
10:08that it's certainly
10:09a possibility.
10:13And you can catch
10:14the rest of that
10:15interview with
10:15General David Petraeus
10:16on Euronews'
10:1712 Minutes programme.
10:18But now,
10:19as we've been reporting,
10:20the war has spiralled
10:21into a number
10:22of Gulf capitals
10:23and cities
10:23in the past few days
10:24by Chayne,
10:25Dubai,
10:26Doha.
10:26All major transit hubs
10:27and tourist
10:28and investment magnets
10:29now finding themselves
10:30caught up
10:31in the middle
10:31of the war.
10:32For more,
10:33we can cross over
10:33to Doha now
10:34and bring in
10:34Euronews correspondent
10:36Adel Halim.
10:37Tell us,
10:37what is the situation
10:38there this morning,
10:39this Tuesday morning?
10:41We're now at the day four
10:42of this increasingly
10:43widening war,
10:44which has seen
10:45a major military
10:46escalation
10:46over the last 24 hours.
10:48It will undoubtedly
10:49cause a major
10:50generational shift
10:51in relationships
10:52across the Middle East.
10:53Just around 2 a.m.
10:54last night,
10:55we heard multiple
10:56Iranian missiles
10:57intercepted overhead
10:59here in Doha.
11:00And now the
11:01Qatar and the UK
11:02are actively intercepting
11:03incoming missiles
11:04on the sea
11:06away from
11:06on the post.
11:08The Qatar's
11:08minister of defense
11:09said it shot down
11:10two Iranian fighters,
11:12five ballistic missiles,
11:13and five drones
11:14as well,
11:15overnight calling
11:16the targeting
11:16of the country
11:17territory reckless
11:18and irresponsible.
11:20Now,
11:20the conflict
11:20has now expanded
11:21beyond military sites.
11:22The U.S. embassy
11:23in Saudi Arabia
11:24was struck
11:25just by two drones
11:26early this morning.
11:27This comes on the heels
11:28of an attack
11:28from the U.S. embassy
11:29in Kuwait,
11:30which has now
11:31closed indefinitely.
11:32Meanwhile,
11:33while Iran
11:33has come under
11:34heavy fire
11:34from the U.S.
11:35and Israel
11:36overnight,
11:37as U.S. Secretary
11:37of State
11:38Michael Rubio
11:38said the hardest
11:39hits are
11:40pumped.
11:41Now,
11:41here in Doha,
11:42the airspace
11:42remains closed
11:43and the shelter-in-place
11:44order remains
11:45in effect.
11:46The Ministry
11:47of Foreign Affairs
11:48will hold a press
11:48briefing shortly
11:50this afternoon
11:50and will continue
11:51to monitor
11:52this developing
11:53story.
11:53Okay,
11:55Adele,
11:55Halim,
11:55thank you so much
11:56for all those
11:56details.
11:57And now,
11:58our Jakob Yanis
11:58takes a look
11:59at this new reality
12:00for Gulf State,
12:01countries that
12:02have since now
12:02shielded themselves
12:03from the strife
12:04in the Middle East.
12:06If you hear
12:07this unmistakable
12:08buzzing sound,
12:10you should know
12:12you are in trouble.
12:15And recent videos
12:16from Bahrain
12:17and Dubai
12:17show a terrifying
12:18new reality.
12:20Open source
12:21intelligence
12:21quickly confirmed
12:22what they are,
12:24Iranian Shahed drones.
12:26And Iran
12:26is now firing
12:27these weapons
12:28across the entire region.
12:30should you
12:31be worried.
12:32You see,
12:33the danger
12:34is not the technology,
12:36it is the price tag.
12:37Iran uses
12:38their sheer volume
12:39to overwhelm
12:41advanced defense shields.
12:43And it is
12:44completely unsustainable
12:45to fire
12:46a million dollar
12:47interceptor
12:48at a cheap drone.
12:50And by launching
12:51massive waves,
12:52Iran can effectively
12:53bankrupt
12:54a billion dollar
12:55air defense grid.
12:56And the Shahed
12:58is the AK-47
12:59of the skies.
13:01It carries
13:02a deadly explosive
13:03payload,
13:04but relies
13:04on low-tech parts.
13:06After supplying
13:07thousands of these
13:08to Moscow,
13:09Iran watched
13:10how Russia
13:11used them
13:12in Ukraine.
13:13And now,
13:14Tehran is bringing
13:15those exact
13:15sworn tactics
13:16back to the Middle East.
13:19And from Iranian
13:20territory,
13:21these drones
13:21can reach
13:22almost anywhere,
13:23casting a shadow
13:24over the entire
13:25region.
13:26Depending on the model,
13:28the range goes up
13:29to 2,500 kilometers,
13:31covering everything
13:32from the Mediterranean
13:33coast
13:34to the furthest
13:35reaches of the
13:36Arabian Peninsula.
13:38With Shahed's
13:39threatening
13:40U.S. military bases,
13:42oil refineries,
13:43and tourist hubs,
13:44it seems no one
13:45is safe.
13:46But a blueprint
13:47exists to
13:48stop them.
13:49A multi-layered,
13:51anti-drone
13:51air defenses,
13:52electronic warfare,
13:54and new
13:54interceptor drones
13:55helped Ukraine
13:57achieve an over
13:5880% interception rate.
14:00With President Zelensky
14:02saying Russia
14:03has launched
14:03close to
14:0460,000
14:05Shahed-type
14:06attack drones
14:07against Ukraine,
14:08one question
14:09arises.
14:10Is the Middle East
14:11ready to
14:12intercept
14:13a similar wave?
14:19Jakob Jan is
14:20reporting for us
14:21there.
14:22Now, the German
14:22Chancellor Friedrich
14:23Merz is en route
14:25to the U.S.
14:25for talks with
14:26the U.S.
14:27President Donald
14:27Trump.
14:28The trip that was
14:29meant to focus
14:30on trade and
14:31the war in
14:31Ukraine will
14:32now be dominated
14:33by escalation
14:34in the Middle
14:34East.
14:34We've seen this
14:35morning a number
14:36of German
14:36newspapers
14:36calling on
14:37the Chancellor
14:38to put pressure
14:38on the U.S.
14:39President to
14:40respect
14:40international law.
14:42For more,
14:42I'm joined here
14:43in the studio
14:43by Euronews'
14:44Stefan Krobey.
14:45Good morning,
14:46Stefan.
14:46Good morning,
14:47Maeve.
14:47So this war
14:48has of course
14:48thrown the agenda
14:49upside down
14:50of Friedrich Merz.
14:51So what should
14:51we expect today?
14:52Well, first of all,
14:53this trip was
14:54planned a long
14:55time ago
14:55under very,
14:56very different
14:57circumstances
14:57and has now
14:58been turned
14:58upside down.
14:59As you said,
15:00all of a sudden,
15:01Merz's trip
15:02is now a
15:03balancing act.
15:04Now, before
15:04departing Berlin,
15:05he made sure
15:07to voice his
15:08support for
15:09the U.S.
15:09and Israeli
15:10strikes against
15:11Iran,
15:11and he condemned
15:12the Iranian
15:13retaliatory strikes
15:14against Iran's
15:17neighbors in the
15:17Gulf and
15:19Israel.
15:21I think it's
15:22fair to say
15:22that given
15:23decades of
15:24unsuccessful
15:24attempts to
15:25bring Iran
15:26to an
15:27agreement on
15:28its nuclear
15:28program,
15:30has made
15:31Merz,
15:32you know,
15:33somebody who
15:33has no
15:34sympathy
15:34whatsoever
15:35with the
15:35Iranian
15:36regime.
15:37But he
15:38also said
15:39that the
15:41attacks by
15:42the United
15:42States and
15:42Israel on
15:43Iran come
15:44with risks.
15:45So he is
15:46cautiously
15:48suggesting that
15:49Germany is
15:49not really
15:50entirely
15:50comfortable
15:51with this
15:52operation.
15:53That's why
15:54Berlin already
15:54announced that
15:55it will not
15:55participate in
15:56any, you
15:58know,
15:58common military
15:58action,
15:59not participate
15:59in these
16:00strikes,
16:00which is
16:01understandable,
16:02as Berlin
16:02has long-standing
16:04and wide-ranging
16:05economic ties
16:06with Iran
16:07that it
16:07doesn't want
16:07to jeopardise
16:08at this
16:09moment.
16:10Okay,
16:10Stefan Krobey,
16:11thank you so
16:11much for that
16:12live update.
16:13And of course,
16:13we'll keep a
16:14very close eye
16:14on that story,
16:15so do keep
16:15an eye on
16:16yournews.com.
16:17But for now,
16:18Iranians at
16:18home and
16:19abroad are
16:19still digesting
16:20the news that
16:21Supreme Leader
16:21Ali Khamenei,
16:22who ruled Iran
16:23for 36 years,
16:24is dead.
16:25Some reacted by
16:26dancing in the
16:26streets and
16:27others by going
16:27into mourning.
16:28To hear more
16:29now about the
16:29expectations for
16:31the Iranian
16:31diaspora,
16:31we can bring
16:32in Sanam
16:33Naraji
16:33Anderlini,
16:34a British-Iranian
16:35peace strategist
16:36and author.
16:37Good morning,
16:37Sanam.
16:38Thank you so
16:38much for joining
16:39us here on
16:40Europe Today
16:40on Euronews.
16:41First question,
16:42what is your
16:43take on the
16:44U.S.-Israeli
16:45operation in
16:46Iran?
16:46Was it wise?
16:48So first of
16:49all, thank you
16:49very much for
16:50having me.
16:50This is an
16:51illegal war.
16:53It's a war of
16:54choice.
16:54It was not
16:55necessary.
16:56And I think
16:57that's why we
16:58see the
17:00Germans, the
17:00Nordics and
17:01others stepping
17:02away from being
17:03pressured by the
17:04United States to
17:04get involved.
17:05So that's the
17:06first thing.
17:06The second thing,
17:07I think, is that
17:07we have to see
17:09that they are
17:09consistently
17:11committing war
17:12crimes.
17:13Nine to ten
17:14hospitals have
17:14been targeted,
17:15heritage sites,
17:16residential areas
17:17in Tehran.
17:18So the question
17:19of what is the
17:20purpose of this
17:21war needs to
17:22also be put on
17:23the table at the
17:24moment.
17:25Indeed, it looks
17:26like it was a
17:26very dangerous
17:27night for
17:28Iranians.
17:28What is next,
17:29do you think,
17:30for the country?
17:32That's, I think,
17:33the gazillion
17:34dollar question,
17:35if you want,
17:35for everybody.
17:37You know,
17:38the issue,
17:39we have four
17:40different objectives
17:41that are sort of
17:43fighting with each
17:43other, if you
17:44want.
17:44You have the
17:45objective of the
17:46Iranian public,
17:48which has been
17:48calling for an
17:49end to the
17:49regime, but they
17:50didn't want a
17:51war like this to
17:52be the sort of,
17:54you know, the
17:55response to the
17:56protests last year.
17:57So the question
17:58of how do you go
17:58from the regime
18:00to a democratic
18:01space, is it
18:02through war or
18:03not?
18:03And at the
18:03moment, it's
18:04certainly not.
18:04This is not the
18:05answer.
18:06You have the
18:06regime that wants
18:07to survive,
18:08obviously.
18:08You have Israel,
18:10which is really
18:11driving this
18:11agenda, and at
18:12the moment we're
18:13seeing their
18:15strategy at play
18:16because they want
18:17to decimate the
18:18country.
18:19They are now
18:20trying to open
18:20the borders for
18:21the Kurds and
18:22others to have
18:22a land incursion,
18:24and essentially
18:25they want to
18:26destroy Iran's
18:27capacity to be a
18:29force in the
18:30region, regardless
18:30of whether it's
18:31this regime or a
18:33democratic one.
18:34They want a
18:34subservient outcome,
18:36you know, regime
18:37or government at the
18:38end of this, and a
18:38country that has
18:39zero defenses and is
18:41unable to challenge
18:42their expansion in
18:44the region.
18:44And Salam, as we've
18:45seen, the war is
18:46spilling out into the
18:47region.
18:47How long could this
18:48war last and how
18:49much more could it
18:49escalate, do you
18:50think?
18:51This is also
18:52something that before
18:54they started the
18:54war, they should
18:55have anticipated.
18:56You know, what we're
18:57seeing right now is
18:58that in Iraq, in
18:59Lebanon, in
19:00Bahrain, in
19:00Pakistan, in
19:01Kashmir, people are
19:03responding to the
19:04assassination of
19:05Khamenei, and it
19:07is genuinely sort of
19:08causing, so it's
19:11igniting a lot of
19:12animosity towards the
19:13United States,
19:14actually.
19:14So that's one
19:16aspect of it.
19:16The other aspect, of
19:17course, is the
19:18Iranian, you know,
19:19strategy as an
19:20asymmetric conflict of
19:21targeting the, you
19:23know, Gulf states and
19:23Dubai and other
19:24places to try and both
19:26mitigate the effect of
19:27the Americans, but
19:28also to exact a high
19:30price so that there is
19:31some kind of ceasefire.
19:32I think that's part of
19:33their strategy.
19:34But the economic costs
19:35are going to be
19:36global because of the
19:38Straits of Hormuz,
19:38because of insurance
19:39costs and so forth.
19:41So we need de-escalation
19:42as much, as soon as
19:43possible.
19:45The de-escalation that
19:46comes with the
19:47opportunity for
19:48Iranians to have
19:49their shift in the
19:50political system.
19:51Okay.
19:52Salaam, Narajji,
19:52Adani.
19:53Thank you so much for
19:53joining us here on
19:54Europe Today on
19:55Euronews.

19:57for tuning in.
19:58Take care and see you
19:59very soon here on
